ELECTRICAL DRIVEN MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO. Holds. Annual Meeting sad Election '4 ef Officers The Mutual meeting and election ef officers of the McHenry Township Mutual Fire Insurance company was held at Johnsburg on Tuesday of last week. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, Ahton M. Schmitt; vice > president, Jacob Schmitt; secretary, Math. N. Schmitt; .treasurer, Jos. J. Freund. The board of directors will consist of Anton M. Schmitt, Fred Meyer and John A. Miller. Michael Freund of McHenry has again been engaged as agent for the company. One of the very important matters which came up and was favorably passed on at the meeting was the changing of the old ninety-nine yefrr policy which has been issued by the company ever since its organization. By a vote of 44 to 1 it was voted to change the policy to cover a period of from otie to five years. The secretary's report showed the company to be in very fine shape beginning the flew yeawith a balance on hand of $6,357.48. The total in surance in force on Jan. 1, 1922, was $274,547, a net gain of $53,709 over the previous yean During the year there were issued sixteen new policies. While the officers and directors are satisfied with the showing made in 1921, they have resolved to make the coming year the biggest in point of business since the organization of the company. According to one of the officials who was recently interviewed by a Plaindealer reporter, only a very small portion of the territory covered by the company has thus far been canvassed, but henceforth it will be the aim of the company to cover their territory in a more thoro manner. The agent has been instructed to go after new business and this he has set out to do. "Why, if the people only knew it, we have the cheapest insurance in the world today," said one official, "and just as soon as the public begins to realize this fact we are going to grow rapidly." A report of the company is now in the hands of the printer and will be mailed to the members of the company so tl&t they may see for-themselves just how the funds have been handled during the past year.
