Tuesday night, but was averted
automatically.
The situation arose when A. B.
Good, business director, proposed
completing two rooms at School 85,

cost of $4,000. 1t was pointed out
that Charles Byfield, architect, and
C. r. zimmerman, engineer, had in
cluded the two rooms in their
original plans, but had not COM
pleted the structure.
Fred Kepner, commissioner, pro-
posed that the building be COM

an architect or re-employ the same
one"
The motion had been passed be-
fore Russell Wilson, board preSi-

When it was reread he said he did
not approve unemployment OF the
same architect and engineer "be-
cause he did not know him."
He suggested that part Of the

Other guests included Mayor T. B. Judson, E. Valentine, L. V. Winter, E. P Pond, Royal Shepard, and several other ex-members of the organization.

 Reviews Early History
 MT. Valentine reviewed the be- ginnings of the Fire Department in this city. He was introduced by Chief Gray as the Father of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department. He gave a vivid picture of the early fire fighters of the city, the methods and equipment used by them, the first hook and ladder outfit purchased by himself the coming of a water supply system permitting the use of hydrants and hose, and the development of the present modern fire fighting plant.
 The pioneer organization here, ! formed in 1886, he said grew to be a powerful civic factor. It passed i ordinances and levied taxes, which ! were assessed in proportion to the fire risk of the property owners. It bought the site of the present City Hall, and other property now pos sessed by the city.
 Saved Town Often
 The Department, he declared, has saved the town many times by it's efficiency. The cost to the mu- nicipality has been covered many, | many times in the saving effected from losses by fire and in reducing 0f i,1c And In ! addition there is that intangible i value which comes to the property owners of the town from freedom 1 of worry and fear of disastrous fires. When I retire at night, l have no fear that the town is going l to be wiped out by fire because I know that the boys are on the job i and will take care of things" he declared.

LAW ON INSURANCE
ASKED IN DISTRICT
Commissioners Seek Right to
Require Legal Reserve on
Life Policies.

The District Commissioners yesterday
asked Congress to enact law giving
them the right to require the main
tenance of a legal reserve on life in
surance policies. The legislation was
asked for by the superintendent OF in
surance, Thomas Baldwin, jr., as re-
suit of an opinion by the corporation
counsel to the effect that the District
now did not have the power.
The insurance department suspended
the license of the Federal Life 1nsur-
ance Co. to operate in the District, and
the insurance company appealed. The
matter was referred to the corporation
counsel, and In his opinion on the case
it was stated that there is no provision
in the District code covering the mat
ter. The company's license was sus-
pended for alleged impairment OF capl-
tai.
According to the draft of the bill
the superintendent of insurance shall
annually make valuations Of all in
surance policies on the net premium
basis. The bill then sets up standards
of reserves to be maintained on various
classes of life, term, and endowment
policies.
The Commissioners awarded con-
tract for the construction of No. 81 en-
