There are no decisions on the point in Illinois, but there are decisions in other states bearing on the question raised in your letter there it has been held that voluntary firemen, ander the direction of the Fire Department of one city being -sent by the Department of which he was a member, was covered under the act. Since the question has beensaised, we believe it advisable to endorse the policy to provide for the collection of premium on the remineration of voluntary firemen, which according to the manual for premium computation purposes y shall not be less than 100,00 per annum and 1 am today sending such an endorsement to -r. Reitz with request that he deliver it to you for attachment to your policy. I trust t:o.is fully answers the question raised in your letter of May 1st.
