himself cheaply, privately and radically.

The Bylaws of this Company, and the
regulations governing insurance have, re-
Gently been very materially changed. pla-
cling 1t upon basis equal to that of any
Fire Insurance Company in the State.
Important among these changes are the
following, viz:
Policies, instead of being perpetual, are
issued for five years.
All property is classified and the rate OF
premium is fixed according to the rick Of
the property.
Premium notes are taken, and all as
sessments are made on The notes.
Property is insured for not more than
two thirds of its actual cash value. and the
full amount of insurance paid in case of loss,
provided the loss be equal to the amount Of
insurance.
"Annua assessments" only are made, ex-
cept in cases of heavy loss, and where a
special assessment is necessary.
The Company is therefore prepared to in
sure property upon terms much more desira-
BILE than under the old system.
Applications may be made to any Of the
Managers, Surveyors, or Secretary.
