Rate. v At the request of the local fire insur- ance ngents there was a special meet- building, and they thought they had the right to ask for some of.it, and he img of the executive committee on Fri- | said he was pleased to know that it dayr evening in the City hall for the purpose of giving them a hearing on the court house insurance. There was | an excellent report made to the com- mittee by Alderman Beckley, who had been detailed to secure the facts in the maiter, and it was shown that there is mow a total insurance on the building of $140,000 by the city. The building is jointly owned by the city, town and county, and valued at from $275,000 to $300,000 The city’s insurance is divided as fol- lows: $100,000 on the main building, 380000 being on building and $20,00¢ on contents. and $40,000 on the annex, being $24,000 on the building and $16, 000 on the contents. It is now insured the flat rate of $1.42 a thousand, and the plan under consideration os to insure it under the 50 per cent. clause, 2 all agreed is better. 1t was a ance for those not pplications of the .mbers of the coun- | 1 ere o dozen or more of the ocal agents in attendance, and nearly all of them e in relation to the proposed It had been brought about through the desire of some of ounger insurance agents. who are | pavers, to get some of the insur- | the building. and some of the > expires December 7. How It Works. as explained by Nicholas Tar- that if the building ls completely ved, the total loss is paid if the property is worth the amount of in- surance. If the property is insured up to SO per cent. of the sound value, all the loss is pald, whether large or| small. But if it is not insured to the per cent, the insured becomes & co-insurer. and gets that portion of the loss which the amount of his in- surance bears to the 80 per cent., the owner in that case being to stand part of the loss as a | co-insurer. Appreciated Committee’s Action. es L. Case expressed his appre on_of the action of the committee in allowing the agents to coms before . and declared it the fairest thing in the city government for a long time. He said there were some young agents in the business who didn't get into it in time to share in the insuring of the was not likely to go outside. The | sound value should be gotten, he sald, by having builders place a sound val- ue on it, and referred to experiences and information gained regarding that. The question of insuring for a five ‘year term was brought up, but it was onsidered not as advantageous as the | three vear rate. Mr. Tarrant, . Mr. Whitney and Mr. Royce thought the three year rate more advantageous. It was explained that sound value meant the cost of replacing the build- ing, less the depreciation The agents were unanimous in recommending the §0 per cent. clause instead of the flat rate. and H. F. Palmer spoke in favor of that. In such insurance the records in the vault would not be insured, except as to the value of blank books. Money could mot replace them, so they are not included. Maps might be includ- ed in the insured articles, stated MIr. Royce. Submit Form. It was decided by the committee to ask the rate committee 0f the local board of underwriters to furfnish a form which they considered sufficient for the policy and submit it In a few aay: Alderman Beckley reported that there are 21 agents here, but seven of them have no insurance on the build- ing. The building is rated at the very lowest except the fireproof buildings. Should Have $240,000 on Building. It was thought by Mr. Tarrant that insurance of $240,000 ought to be car- ried on the building, and others favor- ed writing it in full. Royal Holmes explained that the change could be made at once for a three vears term. and cancel one-third at the end of the first year and the second third at the end af the second vear, and thus relnsure for one-third of the entire amount each year, for the three year periods. Others who spoke on the matter were Isaac Jones, Eben Learned and members of the committee. The committee reached no decision in regard to the matter at its subse- quent session, but will leave it open o be declded next week, possibly after the council meeting, by Which timé the rate committee will have the form be- fore thm.
