Immediately after the opening of the ‘office on Fillmore street complaints came in ‘from people who had lost their insurance policies; an had no knowledge of the company.in which they were insured.

They have been returning slow- ly. to Commissigner Wolf ‘and those policy-holders thus fortunate have been notified where to get their new policies, Many requests ‘were made ‘too late to secure the information ig time to- al- low the filing ot the proofs of 1oss. | Santa Cruz Boy Loses Eye.
