MUTUAL INSURANCE
Z CORPORATION is PROSPEROUS

The Latah County Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance company held its an
nual meeting in Troy Tuesday when
officers for the ensuing term were
elected and other business matters
that came before the meeting were
properly acted upon.
At the meeting Tuesday the report
of the secretary showed the company
had $1,969, 325.0O insurance in force
in the county, against $1,712,512.OO
reported at the annual meeting a
year before. This is an increase of
1856 $1,000 in the last year. The re-
port also showed the company had
sustained two losses amounting to
$2,532.00. To pay these losses and
the entire operating expenses of the
company the last twelve months has
cost less than one fifth of one per
cent Of each dollar of insurance in
force.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, M. w. Harland;
vice president, A. s. Lyon; secreta-
ry, J. H Vidvig; treasurer, Elof Mar
tinson; directors to serve three years,

drawn, and should be considered in al
action to dissolve a highway district
| If this is not the rule, then the citi-
zens of highway district could
never dissolve the corporation.
| The authorities hold that all kinds
of warrants, bonds and obligations
held by a municipality or by a high
way district are funds in the treasury
and they are treated as such. Some
of the obligations held by the Orofino
| Highway District are obligations ow-
ing by the Clearwater District to the
Orofino Highway District, and what
ever these obligations amount to are
clearly funds in the treasury. If this
is the rule, then there is no question
in this case but what there are funds
in the treasury sufficient to pay all
the obligations of the Orofino Highway
District.
Citizens and taxpayers of high
way district have the right to have
a district dissolved whenever they can
do SO without injury to any creditor
of the district. The citizens and tax
payers of the Orofino highway dis
trict are the stockholders of such
district, and whenever a majority of
the citizens of that district desire the
district dissolved, and where such
dissolution can be had without injury
to any creditors, then the district
should be dissolved The court be-
lieves this is the purpose and intent of
the statute providing for such dissolu-
ton
Five hundred out of approximately
600 tax payers have petitioned for
the dissolution of this district. It is
a matter of common knowledge that
the Orofino highway district is the
connecting link in the Lewis and
Clark highway, and it is matter
of common knowledge that the roads
of this district cannot be improved
without a bond issue of probably
couple of hundred thousand dollars.
The district is put in this anomal-
Gus position: 500. out Of 600 voters
say they want it dissolved. If it is
not dissolved and a bond issue is
called, it would be great stretch of
the imagination to believe that two
thirds of the voters of this district
would reverse their position and vote
for bonds to carry on the very dis
trict that they have petitioned the
courts to dissolve.
