COL. I.M. MEEKINS
When this Elizabeth City man was called to Washington several months ago in the office of General Counsel to the Allen Property Custodian this newspaper predicted that he would not remain Washington many months before his talents would be discovered and called to larger fields. Col. Meekins has been transferred to the office of General Counsel and Manager of the Office of Enemy Insurance Companies in New York City. His new position in no way conflicts with his law practice, and Col. Meekins has already found himself retained as an attorney in at least one case involving millions. The new position pays him a salary of $12,000 a year and his expenses, which is just that much in addition to another job which he picked up some time ago with a salary of $10,000 a year. Col. Meekins’ office address in New York City is 125 East 46th St. His residence address is the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
From the front page of The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C., Jan. 27, 1922. I have to wonder if he's really going to work for the Office of Enemy Insurance Companies, but that's what was printed in the newspaper.
