Whereas. This Board on June 26,
1893, established a County Insurance
Department in the County Auditors
office with full authority given the
| County Auditor to administer the in
surance policy of this Board and 10
set up on the records in his office
an Insurance Revolving Fund; and
Whereas. On December %, 1895,
this Board did by resolution authorize
the County Auditor to set up in the
Insurance Fund premium charges on
all new garage buildings then under
construction at insured values and
rates therein specified: and
Whereas. On April s, 1887, this Board
by motion instructed the County Au-
ditor to cancel all insurance on Coun-
ty garage buildings which were being
demolished and also provided that
expiring insurance on garage buildings
should not be renewed; and
Whereas. This Board has had in ef-
| feet a County Co-Insurance form on
such garage buildings which makes
the cancellation of individual policies
| not practicable because of the CO.
Insurance feature thereof.
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved
| That effective October 1. 1897, all
| co-insurance policies in effect on
| County garage buildings, or on other
buildings in the Road and Bridge De-
| partment, are hereby cancelled: and

and authorized to set up in the In
surance Fund premium charges based

| be submitted to the County Auditor
by the County Highway Engineer on
each such building or buildings and
| contents. Such Underwriters rates to
be for three year periods. but to be
charged to the proper Road and Bridge
| Divisions annually in advance.

Doberman Pinscher Deg

The Doberman Pinscher dog
originated in Germany around 1890.
This dog has gained rapidly in pop
ularity in the last few decades, and
with very good reason. His appear
ance is all in his favor to begin
with, says a writer in the Los An
geles Times. OF medium size and
extremely clean cut in conforma-
ton and sleek coat, he combines
grace and great muscular power.
The average adult male in good
condition weighs from sixty-five to
seventy-fve pounds, but the struc-
ture is so compact and the muscle
so dense under the short coat, that
the novice might easily underesti-
mate his weight by fifteen or twenty
pounds.

Camels have been in use in Aus
