A. | Olsness said here today. The reductions, which are 10 per cent on all brick, stone and tile mer- cantile buildings and 5 per cent on frame buildings, together with a re- duction of 5 per cent on the contents of all buildings affected, will mean a substantial saving to the insurers of the state, Olsness said. In 1924, Olsness said, the loss ratio was 51.85, whereas in 1928 it was only 37.64. Final figures for 1929 have not become available but are expected to show continuation of the downward trend. “The theory of fire insurance,” Ols- ness sald, “is that each insured must contribute his share to pay the losses | ruary 9 to 13, inclusive, it was decided suffered by others policy-holders,|at a meeting of the board of man- hence a reduction in the total losses | agers of the shows. Emphasis is laid uoon the fact that | a witness for the railroads said at the { hearing that they had consulted only | with Minneapolis jobbers and not; with those in the cities which would; be affected. The argument is ad- " vanced that those in the cities affect- f ed should have been consulted before + the proposal to change the present system. | Taking stations along the Milwau- | kee railroad as typical. the brief con- tends that the effect of the proposed | change would be to raise freight rates to the towns affected an average of 89} cents per 100 pounds or 53 per cent | of the oxisting rates. The argument is made that ship-| ments, under the proposed rule, would be received at jobbing ceuters in car-| load lots and distributed at express | rates, in which case the increase in cost would be even greater. Two Billings Now Made | At present a car destined for; Jamestown and taking the through rate can be stopped at Bismarck for partial unloading. The entire chip- ment would take the through rate to Jamestown. Under the railroads’ proposal, however, such a car would be billed to Bismarck and the remain- der, destined for Jamestown, would take the local rate from Bismarck to Jamestown. thereby materially in- creasing the freight charges. The brief contends that “a review of the evidence submitted by the re- spondents in justification of their proposal. indicates that they propose to cancel this privilege wholly in the statement that certain large jobbing houses said they did not believe con- ditions today warrant > continuation of the privilege. No evidence of any kind was offered in support of the Proposed cancellation. The carriers | did not try to justify it on the ground that the present charges are too low for the services performed. “On the other hand. protestants have shown that the present practice is being used and has been used for Years and that the proposal would re- sult in very substantial increases. The brief is signed by the state raflroad board. the Fargo chamber of commerce and the Aberdeen Fruit company, which joined in fighting the Proposal. ‘Aided by favorable weather, the Red River Valley Winter here Friday night, attracted a total attendance of 10,000 persons, accord- ing to an estimate by Lee R. ‘Boyd, | business manager of the shows.
