Alaska, July 22-—Dear Sir: “The ‘story. ih. the Empire of Sat- urday, July 20, regarding a reduc- tion in fire insurance rates for| Juneau, contained a number of er-| rors which should be corrected, not | only for the sake of the record,| but also because they give an en- tirely incorrect picture of insur-| ance operations in Juneau, “An estimate was given that| there’ =i $10,000,000 insurance in force in the Juneau city limits, | This is false. The assessed valua- tion of Juneau property in 1939 was {less than $7,500,000, and of this amount an important percentage | represents lot values. Taking into| consideration that by far the ma- | Jority of buildings and personal | property items not insured for full value, an mate of the in- surance in force in Juneau would not exceed $5,000,000, and we be- lieve that it might be materially less than this figure From the assumption that a five percent rate reduction would he granted, the person who wrote the | story deduced that this would save $500,000 per year for Juneau !dents. The average rate in Juneau !at present is probably less than two percent per year. At two percent, in force), or only $5,000. “There are several facts concern- ing the proposed Insurance reduc- |ticn that the public should know | The first of these is that a single test 1un of a fire department, ve- !hicle ‘could not possibly have any effect on the insurance rate, he- cause it is of no importance as compared to the record of that fire department over a period of many years. The Juneau Volunteer Pire Department has an excellent record. The Board of Fire Under- writers of the Pacific the rate- | making body for Alaska, is fully informed of the Juneau Depart- ment’s record and does not need |a test run to satisfy itself of the | efficiency. of the local firemen, | which has been demonstrated to it |for a great many years. “Of: far more importance to Ju- neau for its effect on possible fu- ture rate reductions was the acqui- sition of the new fire truck last May, When the new equipment ar- rived, Board local agents secured all the data on the new truck and sent it to the Board engineers at once, and asked whether it would| be possible to secure a reduction in rates on account of the addition to the fire fighting fleet; Inciden- tally, this was donhe long before the City Council or the Mayor, made any such request. The agents, in writing, pointed out that Ket- chikan had recently received a rate| reduction, and they felt that Ju- neau might be entitled to the same | rate as Ketchikan, “Loren S, Bush, Chief Engineer U.
