LINCOLN, Jan. 10.-(Speclal Telcgram.)
"I think the present revenue law relating
to Insurance companies Is entirely satis
factory to the state companies," paid B.
H. Robison of Omaha, president of the
Bankers Life, who spent the day in Lincoln
on private business. "Tnc legislation en
acted by the lust session brought about
good conditions," he added, "and so far as
I am aware none of the state companies
are asking for any revisions. Of course.
If the laws were codified It would be a
help, but we have tho laws, and that Is the
main thing. They are as good as eastern
states have. '.
'I have been told the fraternal companies
want some modllicHtlons In the present luw,
but am not Informed as to the exact nature
of these propositions."
Millard Fillmore Funkhouaer Is in the
city, mingling among legislators, with an
eye out for tho interests of the fire under
writers. But Mr. Funkhouser says all this
class of Insurance companies want at the
hands of the present session of legislature
is "to be let alone." Like Mr. Robison, he
Is satisfied with the statutes as they are,
but would be dissatisfied if they were
changed.
The real object of Mr. Roblson's visit
was to check up matters with the new
stato auditor for the Bankers Life, which
under the law keeps on deposit securities
of $100,000. He turned in the receipts of
former State Auditor Watson and took
those of State Auditor Searle.
Within the last week, for the Backers
Life, Mr. Jtobison has bought $23,000 worth
of Fulrbury school bonds, taking over the
last $9,000 worth today. This makes a total
of $126,000 his company now has In school
bonds.

Expend Proceeds on Club
House.
und
At a well attended meeting of the mem
bers of the Field club, held in the Com
mercial club rooms last evening, the propo
sition of building a new club house was
thoroughly discussed. It was llnully de
cided that a new one, should be built on
the site of the present building. Plans
for a new club house were submitted and
explained to the niembers present by Harry
Lawrie. The plans fchown are for a three-
story building, the estimated cost of which
will be $10,100. The plans were accepted
and a motion made to the effect that the
board of directors be authorized to make
a bond issue of not to exceed $10,ou0, the
bonds to draw interest not to exceed 6 per
cent and to run for a period of years not
to exceed five, and that then,- bonds be
subject to recall by the club for the pur
pose of payment at any time. The motion
was carried by u almost unanimous vote,
thus assuring that a new club house, sill
bo built. It la estimated by Mr. Iiwrle
that the club house will be ready for oc
cupancy by June 1, IS1-

The only animation displayed last night
at the regular meeting of the city coun
cil was over tha question of confessing
Judgment In the suit entered by the water
company against the city for hydrant
rent. On the request of the legal de
partment, the resolution was referred back
for another week. The wnter company
has brought suit In the federal court for
$46,717.97 for rent from July 1. Council
man Evans favored the confession of
Judgment, saying it Is a just debt. As
sistant City Attorney Herdman said the
water company should not have begun
suit causing costs, when the bill had
neither been rejected nor approved. He
said In July the legal department had
wished to fight, but tl..' council had not
allowed it.
Grade ou Twentieth Street.
The city will grade Twentieth avenue
from Castellar street to the alley north
of Bancroft street. A resolution was
passed to this effect and to nssume half
the cost of the work. Another resolution
assessed property owners one-half the ex
pense of grading Ninth street S00 feet north
from Bancroft. The city by resolution
will pay fo- property taken In opening
and widening the alley between Twen
tleth street and Twentieth avenue to
Curlew lane. The same will be done for
Twenty-seventh avenue from Hickory
street to Lincoln avenue. Other special
taxes were levied for sewers and perma
nent walks. Bids were authorized for
the east und west fourteen feet to be
vacated in narrowing Twenty-first street
Property owners are to bid the amount
of the assessment or more.
