of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division ore roll
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to pportion
Premium to risk M Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of gvess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Irtall-
ranee Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be 'W..
?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hith nto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return
the Insured will determine the true Prevalurn equitably payable as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Inst trer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest. by
Kipporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classiff ca-
periodicalbr to
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tine, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into Etch
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or flity per cent of theenett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have

been in force for three years.
