An invitation will also be extended to Mr. John E. Russell, president. of the Russell Construction Co., of Toronto, Constructive Sugg It is anticipated that a large num- ber will attend this luncheon for Mr. Collins has some very constructive suggestions to offer Whitby with re- gard to the matter of securing new industries. His wide experience in traveling from coast to coast:has made him cognizant of the factors which are responsible for the indus- trial expansion of many municipali- ties and his department is in constant touch with manufacturing companies which arc desirous of adding branch- es or securing new locations, © Lease Harbor Land The executive further decided at last night's meeting to ask the new town council to take into considera- tion the resolution which was recent- ly passed urging the council to se- cure a leasc from the Dominion gov- ernment of that portion of harbour land lying between the east pier and the town waterworks. It is thought that if the government should favor this request then the municipality might be in a position to improve this land and convert it into a re- creation ground and beauty spot.

Probe Increase The insurance department under the Attorney-General has fairly wide powers of supervision under the rating law enacted a few years ago. Filing of rates is required, for example, just as railway and steamship tariffs must be filed with the Railway Commission of Canada, The jump in rates, now decided upon, of 25 to 650 per cent. is to recelve attention of the Minis- ter, . "I have asked for a report from the supcrintendent of {insurance," Price sald. "If the Increase is based upon actual accident loss, then, of course, it would be justi- tied." Non-Ins*red Cars The advance in premiums will not rcsult in any appreciable di- version of business to non-tariff conrpanies, because there are vir- a r Claim Made By Companies Government to Probe Increase in Insurance Motor Cars tually none now doing businiess in Ontario, =A few non-tariff com- panies were operating here a year or so ago, but now the field is practically 100 per cent, tariff, One result will undoubtedly be an increased proportion of non-in- sured 'motor vehicles, a circum- stance which may strengthen the hands of those who favor compul- sory insurance. Motorists Dissatisfied General dissatisfaction is express- ed by motor car owners concern- ing the increase in insurante rates, while leaders in the insurance business made the announcement that for the past three years the insurance companies had been carrying automobile insurance at a heavy annual loss.' The insurance companies contend higher rates must be paid by car owners fpr protection or they will have to carry their own insurance, Losses in Excess The Federal Inspector of Insur- ance is quoted as authority for the statement that having regard for the companies on the basis of pres- ent rates, they are practically bank- rupt, The government official re- port on the automobile insurance business of the Dominion for 1927 shows that losses, costs of opera- tion and general overhead expen- ses of the companies actually ex- ceeded by $1,500,000 the earned premiums of the year, which ag- jEromted $8,970,000, Not So Bad Representatives of the Canadian Automobile Underwriters' Associa- tion, including the sub-committee appointed to draft the new sche- dule of rates, declare the latter will not press s0 heavily on the owners of the popular priced cars as many people think. The aver- age premium pald on the popular makes of cars averages $11 for personal liability risk {in Ontarfo jend $13.22 in Quebec, whereas ft $22.47 respectively, [$254 to have been $16.77 and MISS MARGAREY?

BERMUDA BUYS CARRIAGES FROM RHODE ISLAND Metorlezs Island Depends on American to S: rply the Equipages Olneyville, R, I., Jan. 11,--Mot- orless Bermuda has Earl V. Arn- old of this town to thank for mary of the fine equipages which roll along the island's quiet strcchs, Arnold is proprietor of one of the oldest carriage shops in this section of the country and while Olncy- ville once furnished him with = thriving business the advent of the automobile virtually abolished the home market. Now Britain's nei'h- soring isi~nd possession is his chief market, for Bermuda has as yet refused to lift the ban agai st motor driven vehicles. Antiques The carriazes Arnold sends to Bermuda are not new--far from ft. Many are so ancient that they would throw a lover of antiques into paroxysms of joy. They in- clude the once popular buggy, Broughams, Landaus, Cornings, Goddards, Victorias, Davenports and even such smart rigs of yore as the French vis-avis model and the coupe. But when they are ship- ped to Bermuda's sunny shore they have been completely restored to the condition of their days of glory. Paint and varnish sparkle as bright- ly as any new automobpfle. Uphol- stery has bee nrestored to furnish the maximum of comfort as well as to please the eye. Much of the ironwork has been restored--with hand forgings--for naturally the factory production introduced by automobile manufacturers did not effect the almost defunct carriage industry. Mr. Arnold began the carriage business with his father when he was 14 years old. He is now 659. After the automobile became pop- ular he faced the alternative of going out of business or finding a new market. He took the latter course and for a time Mount Desert Island, Me., continued its prefer- ence for old dobbin to the exclusion of horseless carriages. 'Then the march of progress forced adoption of motor transportation and he fost that market. He turned. to the is- land of Nantucket which up to a few years ago refused admission to motor cars. Now Nantucket furnish- 2s Arnold with his chief supply of old carriages. There he is able wo purchase them for a low figure transport them to Olneyville and put them through their recondition- ing. Usually he sends shipments of six carriages to Bermuda at a time, finding it more esonomical than to send small umbers. They are sent to New York by rail, where they go across the city to a steamer for Bermuda. It costs Arnold $5 a carriage to send them across the city of New York, he believes, be- cause they tie up traffic more or less.
