State Insures Its Own Autos
An opinion to the Department of Public Grounds and Buildings holds that all losses to state owned automobiles from fire or other causes are covered by the State Fire Insurance Fund eliminating the need for separate insurance on state cars. Protests were heard at the Public Service Commission against Petroleum Telephone Company rates and a Shenandoah crossing by the Schuylkill Railway. The Grayhill case from Mt. Holly involved a plant owner asked to show cause for not rebuilding and restoring service. Over seventy protests were filed in another matter.
