JRATE INVESTIGATION r nr niTV umi miir

ur un I it ill havl AGENTS' ASSISTANCE

The personnel of the committee which is to investigate Richmond fire insurance rates was announced Monday morning by Mayor Lawrence A. Handley. Tha. committee -will be composed of the following men: Thomas Nicholson, Robert E. Heun, secretary of the

Rotary club; Howard Dill, president

of the Richmond Water works company; A. J. Harwood, Atlas Underwear

company; Edward H. Cureton, head of the local plant of the International

Harvester eomnanv: Fred Bartel, of

Adam H. Hartel and company; A- L.

Jenkins, insurance agent; William D. Scoble, insurance agent; Jesse A. Bailey, insurance agent, and the lscal board of public works. Walker D. Land, Frank McFail and Bert Henley. Approval of the mow of the mayor to have insurance rates lowered have keen coming in to the city offices ever since the appointment of such a committee wag suggested to the board of works last Thursday at its regular session. Individual citizens, when interviewed stated that they thought the move was especially desirable, because the committee would be able to show what the exact situation was. That the investigation of fire insur

ance rates to be made by the mayor's!

committee wil have the full co-operation of the local agents was indicated by the statements of several when interviewed on the situation. "We have two good grounds for support of the committee," said one of the agents. "As citizens we have a duty towards the city, and as good business vmpn -we rp.ilizp that we will s-ain in

kne ena irom any just reaucuon 01 . i :

raies io our cuems. "If the committee makes a fair and unbiased examination of rates, as seems probable, we will do everything that we can to get them the information that they need." But while the insurance agents have given their support to the committee, they wished to have the city understand a part of the problems that have not been always pointed. out. ' Primary Rate Low. Richmond's primary rate, which under underwriting rules effects only the business and manufacturing districts, is low, within three cents of being the lowest in the state. The final rate is determined upon the separate buildings, their construction, the nature of the business carried on in the pre

mises, and on the exposure of that

building from others.

Slight corrections and changes in the

buildings are often all that is needed to lower the rates, they pointed out,

but the determination of that rate is the business of the rating bureaus on the state, whose engineers determine

the fire hazard of the place.

"Richmond can reduce her rates greatly," one of the agents said, "if

the committee can educate the business men to watch out for those changes that will lower the rate. "Naturally we hope that the merchants will not jump to conclusions until the committee is able to report on the relative rates of Richmond and other cities, on the basis of exact figures. Such figures as are easily available are not accurate, but the committee can secure the exact statistics.' Report New Situation With. Richmond under-insured as a

result of the increase of values sine ,the war, a new situation in the insurance business crops up, another agent pointed out. "Where a man originally

carried but $4,000 insurance on his

place, and was covered for 80 per cent

he is now carrying the same insurance

and is covered for but 40 per cent. Thus it is much easier for the insur

ance company to suffer a complete loss

of the value insured than originally. Under such a situation the proportional losses are greater, and morv strict adherence to the rating rules must be had. if the rates themselves are not raised. "At the same time the insured finds that his insurance is used up, and he more quickly suffers a loss from his own pocketbook."

Cases Growing Out of Rail 1

Strike Are Reported Two cases growing out of the Pennsylvania railroad strike were postponed when they came up for trial in city court Monday. The cases were those of Olin Lacey, and R. E. Hasemeyer, both arrested by Officers O'Harra and Baetz at the intersection of Twenty
