On _plans aporoved by James S. Bell and William H. Dunwoody, president and vice president of the Washburn- Crosby company, the Washburn Ac- cident Insurance association or organ- ization, that has existed for 27 years, has been re-organized on a scale of liverality unperalleled by anything known in mutual industrial protective insurance under corporate direction. it is now proposed to take from th association everything that savors of or sugsests charity and to make it a | business proposition. Five cents a week will be the assessment levied upon every member, or $2.60 & year. From an income of 5 cents & week from every member, the new associa- tion will guarantee: Aeeident bene- fit of $9 a week, not to exceed twelve consecutive weeks for onme accident; on_accidental death, legal dependent heirs to recelve $300, less amount, if any, paid for weekly indemnity; sick benefit of $9 a week after four days’ siekness, not to exceed twelve consecu- tive weeks for one siokness: on natural death legal dependent heirs to re- ceive $300, less amount, if any ,paid for weekly indemnity; on death from accidental or natural cause, funeral expenses not to exceed 3775 will be paid. The plan bécomes operative No- vember 29. That 5 cents a week from ever: employe will not measure up any where near the sum that will be re- quired annually to meet the expendi- ture of the association is recognized by four officials of the company, who investigated the matter thoroughly. They are James Ford Bell, Franklin M. Crosby, John Crosby and Benjamin . Bull. Based upon past experience he company sees that there will be an annual deficit in the affalrs of the association, but it will make this good. Another feature of great importance to the workingmen is the lack of any restrictions as to age or physical con- dition. The Washburn-Crosby company ex- pects that every employe will take ad- | vantage of the offer, aithough there will be nothing compulsory about it. |ANOTHER BIG GAME PRESERVE. Has One North of Dan- | bury. City Engineer Samuel W. Hoyt, Jr, of South Norwalk, was in New Ca |naan last week laving out some wor; for his assistants. Mr. Hoyt has corps of helpers surveying & 2,000- acre game preserve about ten miles north of Danbury, for a Chicago mil- lionaire. Some idea of the size of this pre- serve can be had from the fact thrt it is mearly three times the size of the city of South Norwalk. Game in this vicinity is very plentiful. Mr. Hovi says. On one of his trips to tho grounds he saw four partridges and no end of deer and fox tracks, and the neighbors told him that two large wild cats were recently trapped on the preserve. Nova Scotia Notes. During last year the value of her- ring shipped from Nova Scotia to European ports aggregated $625,367.

He said that the matter of acceding to the death limit of 35,000 for a death, as is now the law for persons who are not empioyes, has not yet been considered.
