was impossible for the four mutual
companies, writing insurance in that

were about ready to give UP making
any attempt to do so, when the relief

Weeks, deputy attorney general and
at that time insurance commissioner
plan was worked out whereby all of
the mutual fire insurance companies
of the state came to the assistance of
the companies, which faced certain
suspension.
Under the program worked out by
Mr.. Weeks, 1t was decided to raise
enough money from the other COM

losses except for an assessment of
one half per cent on every $1,000 of
insurance in force, to be made by the
companies in the fire RACED regions,
