J F Hecht who has rocontly re
turned from Portland Oregon was
iu tho city this morning talking
withbusimss mon concerning tho organ
ization of a mutual firo insurance com
pany at this placo Mr Hecht formerly
lived at Plaiuviow and about fivo years
ago wont to Oregon whero ho has boon
connected witli a mutual insurance
company organized ou a similar plan as
tho ono ho will attempt here In short
tho plan is for each member to pay an
initial feo of 200 with au assessment
only when thoro is a loss Such com
panies havo been started in several
towns in tho stato and every ono is do
iug woll aud furnishing insurance at
from ono fourth to ouo half the rates
charged by tho lino companies Such
an institution organized on a solid basis
with strong men at its hoad would do a
good business from tho start iu Norfolk
and would bo welcomed by tho public
With tho waterworks system that this
city now has together with one of the
most ambitious firo departments in the
stato it would be very difficult for a
serious conflagration to occur especially
in tho business part of town for which
reason thero is no doubt that tho insur
ance rates horo aro inordinately high
for tho risk incurred A mutual com
pany in which the peoplo would have
confidence as to its ability to pay would
cut a big hole in tho revenue derived by
tho old lino institutions from Norfolk
Mr Hecht went to Plaiuviow this after
noon but will return next week and
tako up tho work of orgauizatiou
