If it DIXONS brother was an insurance agent in Layton. He suggested Dixon try the insurance business. That was 13 years ago. Mr. Reisbeck specializes in individual personal insurance policies rather than the business market. He sells auto, home and life insurance and small commercial policies. An independantly employed insurance contractor is his own boss. He sets his own hours, bujlds his own clientele, rents or buys his own office space and hires his own help. DIXON Reisbeck of Layton is such a person. He sells insurance and services claims. Mr. Reisbeck is satisfied with his profession. He likes the freedom of being his own boss, working out his own work schedule and determining his level of accomplishment. If I want a raise in pay, I cant go to my boss and ask for one. I have to work more hours, make more contacts, sell more insurance, Mr. says. His success in earning a good living depends largely on his ability to give people.the service they want. MR. REISBECK believes an insurance agent sells much more than a policy. He sells service. All companies must remain competitive. "The difference between me and someone else is the service I offer, Mr. Reisbeck states. He continues, My biggest problem and the biggest part of my job is solving other peoples problems.

They account for 0 percent of losses caused by driving accidents. If a young person is a good student in school, his auto insurance premium can be reduced by 25 percent. out insurance and about people. When Utah first passed the no fault insurance and the financial responsibility laws, Mr. Reisbeck was concerned about their effects. He now believes the laws have been beneficial. MANY PEOPLE get confused about these laws. The lt law created a coverage called Personal Injury Protection or PIP. You buy coverage for injuries sustained by people riding in your car only. The insurance company pays this claim and then tries to get the money from the other car owner's insurance company or from the other individual involved in the accident if that person was at fault. The financial responsibility law simply says everyone must have liability coverage.

City Attorney Alf VanWagenen presented the board with a special ordinance agreement which he said must be endorsed by the council prior to approval of the trust fund. THE ORDINANCE gives Mr. Davenport the pow- er to establish and direct the fund. Establishment of the trust allows the city to drop its machine maintenance contracts and assume a posture against possible equipment self-insur- breakdowns.
