JINSURANCE. TIOARD VB. NON-DOARD, Tt has previousiy been stated In Tz Trinuxe that the non-Board Insarance firms have banded togeth- er, and are trying to be admitted Into the Board of Underwritors, The cause of this Is the fact that the Board has during the Iast year largely reduced its rates, which are now sald to bo Jower than they have been atany time slnce the conflagration of Oct. 0, 1871, These, howover, ate no lonfisrpuh- Tishied, and it 1s o Impossibility for outsiders -to get hold of them, This has been doneto preventtto ontalde firma from basing thelr rates un those o by the Boarid. - The regular members of the Board themaelves do not know sliat the rates are, and If 8 risk is offercd, the Secretary, Mr. Alfred Wright, ‘who s the sole custodian of the tariff, haeto be consulted a6 to the figures. The outside firms not being able to got hold of theschodules of the Board have been st sea for some time past, and have been compelled to make disastronely low rates in arder to get some of the business. Owing to this state of affuirs, these outaida firms have come to the conclu- sion that it wonld be better for thelr Interests to foln tho Board and thereby bring about the eatab. jishment of & uniform tarlif, Ata late meeting of e frms a committee, of which Mr. W, 1I, Cun- ningham 1a the Chalrman, was sppointed to bring abouit a union with the Board. The Tatter body, hawever, does not look upon the movemen of tis' ooisids companles with favor, as thelr sincerity fa questioned, A number of the leading Huvard men claim that the object of the outside firms Is not so much to (on & to get & hold of the tarif-rates In_order cot them under. In compllance with a requs made by the non-Board fAirine, the Losrd has . pointed & committco to meat the Committes of the other body and soe what {s wanted. Tie two Com. nilttees wera to have held a meeting yestorday uf- ternoon, but uwln;L to the Indisposition of “Mr, Cunningham the Chalrman of the non-Board fems, was ned. iix FntRoNE, howaver, fa abloto tell the non.

The Uioard refuses to admit the vutalde firms In & {. but requices each flrn to make a ecparate lr)t ication, which conld buve been done all along. If thore nro any rules which are olnoxlons to tho non-Lsoard rms they will uot be changed as an in- ducoment to bring, them n, but sfter they have been admitted . they have tho Hght ns other membery to move m changs, It 18 bellaved that the present agltation will end by the admission to the Boanl of (he better class uf non-Uoard rms, whils those who represent come pasies of weak standing will be kept vut, Thero ate now about twenty insurance firms In the city who do not belong fa the Tloard.
