Hail Insurance Risks Totaling — $720,000 Carried By Department $36,000,000 Paid Out For Loss- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY | N. P. Men Watch Roller-Bearing Train | es; Saving Estimated Near $35,000,000 department of the hail insurance law in 1919, ac- cording to a business review of the department's activities by 8. A. Ols- n ness, commissioner of insurance. Approximately $36,000,000 has been paid out as indemnity for loss to crops by hail in the 13 years of the ment’s operation. Over that period * 182,721 claims for damage have been filed by crop owners and the tax for $7 an acre protection has ranged from 22 to 69 cents an acre. From 1919 to 1931, the department has carried protection on an aggre- gate of 101,000,000 acres of crops at an estimated saving to the insured of over $35,000,000, Olsness said. In ad- dition to the payment of losses a re- serve fund of $4,000,000 has been ac- cumulated to pay losses in cash. Hail indemnity rates for the four state districts range from 26 to 42 cents for $7 an acre protection in 1931, and.12 to 18 cents for $3 addi- tional protection. District Costs Listed In the first district, composed of 40 counties, the hail indemnity tax rate for 1931 was 26 cents for $7 protec- tion, and 12 cents for $3 additional. Acres insured in this district totaled 2,685,403, In the second district, composed of Bowman, Burleigh; Logan, McIntosh, Morton, McKenzie and McLean coun- ties, the rate was 32 cents for $7 and 14 cents for $3 with 693,063 acres in- sured. 4 In the third district, composed of Slope and Williams counties, the rate was 37 cents for $7, and 16 cents for $3, with 224,001 acres insured. In the fourth district, composed of Dunn, Grant, Walsh and Hettinger counties, the rate was 42c for $7 and 18 cents for $3, with 480,184 counties insured. Last year 31.7 per cent of the cropped lands in the state were in- sured with the hail insurance depart- ment, with $997,619 paid for losses. Risks carried aggregated $28,719,937; cropped acreage totaled 18,750,489; acres insured 4,082,656, with $3 addi- tional protection carried on 47,116 acres, A total of 6,610 claims were filed. ‘The last legislature amended the hail in’urance law, the changes be- coming effective July 1, 1931. Volun- tary application for protection was substituted for compulsory listing, and indemnities for losses are to be paid during the hail season rather than after all claims have been ad- justed. * Specifies Kind of Crops The new law specifies the kind of crops that may be insured, and short- ens the time limit of protection on certain crops. The 14-day period of “free insurance” existing under the withdrawal feature of the old law is eliminated, and increased remunera- tion is allowed the assessors for soli- citing and writing insurance applica- ‘tions.* A five-disttict system of indemnity will replace the four-district plan. The new district actually will be the first district, comprised of all counties ‘with loss ratios not exceeding one per cent, and will have a basic number of three. The expected tax rates in this district will be “very low and are offered as an inducement to farmers with land in counties ordinarily im- mune to hail,” Olsness said. “Our compiled statistics show,” Olsness said, “that had private insur- nv ance companies carried insurance on ‘ the same acreage that the state has insured for the past 13 years the cost would have been twice as much as the state charged. The 13-year aver- age saving in the state of North Da- kota is over $50 per $1,000 protection.” RE ee he i eS M AT THE MOVIES a which Ginger Rogers is leading wom- an.
