COUNTY AUTO CLUB GROWS WITH CHEAP RELIABLE INSURANCE
Starting in a small way three years ago, the insurance department of the Orange County Automobile Club has developed into an important factor in the carrying of insurance on automobiles in this county. It has offered cheap and reliable insurance and the auto owners have come to recognize this as a big asset of the club.
"The inception of the Orange County Automobile Club and Indemnity Exchange, into the business life of Orange county, three years and half ago, seemed so insignificant that the long-haired prophets gave it six months to live," says A. S. Ralph, secretary of the club. "In fact, said they, 'it will die before the change of the moon.'"
Healthy Growth
"Some of the prophets have died and have been forgotten, but the Orange County Automobile Club has had a steady, healthy growth until it is now known all over the United States by enthusiastic supporters who have enjoyed the courtesies of the office and benefits of the insurance department. The club has a membership of over 1200 and almost every member has his car insured in the insurance department of the club. One reason for the popularity of the club is the cheap rate of insurance to its members. Members of the club many times that since the organization of the Orange County Auto Club, the automobiles of the county have improved 80 per cent in looks, for the club does not let insured cars run around with bent fenders and broken bumpers, or torn top. All such little things are taken care of by the insurance department and promptly adjusted."
"The club has recovered (without cost to owners) and repaired eleven stolen cars and has paid losses caused by collision and fire to the amount of $16,741. Many times cars have been repaired as good as new for people who paid all they could spare for the car and then had it wrecked by some careless irresponsible driver, and had it not been for the Orange County Auto Club Insurance department the cars would have been sold for junk. Over $200,000 has been saved on premiums that would otherwise have left the county had the same amount of insurance carried by this club been written by any other company, but as it is the owners of automobiles in Orange county have been protected by the very best of insurance and still have had for their own use the 200,000 saved for them by this club. This is only another demonstration that Orange county people are a live bunch and awake to every opportunity.
Risks Confined Here
"The reason the Orange County Auto Club can write insurance so cheap can be explained by the fact that it is confined to Orange county residents, which does not place the risks in the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, etc., only the few who occa

The club has a membership of over 1200 and almost every member has his car insured in the insurance department of the club. One reason for the popularity of the club is the cheap rate of insurance to its members. Members of the club get automobile insurance for less than one-third the cost for the same coverage in any other insurance company, and but one-fourth the cost of most companies. Membership is confined to Orange county residents, but the insurance is good no matter where you drive in the United States or Canada.

"REDUCED PRICES"
San Bernardino-co seems to be in pretty much the same fix as Orange-o in the mater of "reduced" telephone rates. An editorial in the San Bernardino Sun says:
"Nobody willingly agrees to an increased cost of a necessary service, and by that token, the city officials will find a very united city behind them in the move to prevent some increases in the rates charged for telephone service—increases that really seem unwarranted.
"It will be remembered that announcement of these new rates came in the form of a promise of lower rates, but aside from that one bait of lower tolls on New York conversation everything seems to be revised upward, and the number of us who want to hold daily conferences with people in the metropolis is somewhat limited."
"Of course, telephone service like every other service, is worth what it really costs to furnish, and if a final hearing shall determine that these

increases are required to maintain the service, we shall have to pay them. But it will certainly have been established that the telephone companies under private control must have been losing barrels of money.
"The Sun has hopes that the legal battle now outlined by City Attorney Guthrie may result in saving the free use of the phone among the suburban towns. These are really all a part of one community, and their business and social and personal interests are so completely merged that the unrestricted use of the telephone becomes well nigh a necessity. It will be a distinct misfortune, not only to San eBnardino, but to the people of Highland and Colton, Bloomington and Rialto, if the free service is discontinued. It really means more to the residents of the outlying towns, for their service in future is restricted to the small exchanges in their home communities, they will be given only a small percentage of the service they have heretofore enjoyed.
"The entire valley is interested in the success of this application for an injunction."

Mayor Carhart announced the object of the gathering. He also told the meeting that the board was powerless to stop the buildup so long as it conforms with the fire restrictions, but that three of the trustees and the city attorney had spent the best part of two days with Superintendent Hitchcock in an endeavor to get the company to abandon the site.
The best concession that could be obtained was that the city should pay for the work already done, amounting to about $8000.
