ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY o. 1879

emit demoralixed condition of the business OF
fire insurance In this city and vicinity.
Mr. John y. Cocks, chairman of the com.
mittee, reported the following most promi.
nent unavoidabIe causes: First, the depres.
sion which has characterized all kinds Of
business for several years; second, the shrink
age OF values, thus reducing the volume Of
insurance needed and the increase OF capital
10 competition for this diminished volume OF
business. The committee, he said, think that
the only hope for q change In these condi.
tons must be based upon a return OF general
business prosperity and the revival OF the
trade and commerce Of the country. Among
the other avoidable causes, he added, are the
failure to sustain a uniform tariff OF rates,
the allowance Of rebate to the assured and
the payment Of excessive commissions to
brokers.
THE REMEDIES PROPOSED
The remedies proposed for the above causes
by the committee are the establishment of q
uniform tariff OF net rates, without rebate or
deduction to the assured, and restriction OF
the rate OF commission to brokers. The com.
mttee thinks II, by the common consent Of all
the companies and agencies, an agreement
could be had on these points 1t would go far
toward saving the business from that destruc-
tiOn to which the present uncontrolled compe-
tition Is leading 1t. The committee further
report that, In case plan is agreed upon, per-
feet comfy must be maintained toward one
another by all companies; II companies doing
an agency business agree to and do sustain
local rates In this city the local companies
which haveno agencies, but which take risks ia
other cities over their own counters, must sus-
tain the local tariffs OF the places where the
risks are located. Companies which have ad-
hered to the system of rebate have also the
right toIdemand that the abolition Of that sys-
TEN shall be accompanied by lower rate OF
commission to brokers, as an evidence to the
assured Of al honest effort on the part CT the
companies to reduce this expense OF the bust
ness. The committee, therefore, recom-
mended that the members OF the board should
take the necessary action to form tariff as
ISOLATION, place upon the clerks table the
to form such association, let Il e
voluntarily and unanimously
come forward and sign 1t, and then, il they
agree upon plan Of action, the remedy for
the present Generalization will be in their
own hands. The committee thinks the fears
that such an organization may bind those who
are faithful to its rules, without holding a
proper. check on those who are not, are
groundless.
The report was adopted by a vote OF 70 to4,
and after the meeting the seventy-nine COM
panies which voted In the affirmative had a
and decided to meet on Tuesday,
January IA, for the purpose OF considering
the question of the formation Of tariff as
ISOLATION.
