1t is stated that the insurance rates were
two and One-half TO three per cent. in Farm
ington before the fire. This high rate was
caused by the lack of fire apparatus. In
Eastport the rates were as high as from four
to four and one-half per cent for the same
reason With q good fire department and
engines they would have got insurance at
rate as low as two per cent. Now the bust
ness men Of Pennington were paying three
quarters Of one per cent. more for insurance.
than they should have paid had the village
had good fire department. The property
lost, on all of which they did or should have
carried insurance, is estimated at quarter
OF million OF dollars The people of Farm
ington, If they were well insured, probably
paid rates on about two-thirds of this valua-
tion, or $1S7,5O0. The three-quarters per
cent. excessive insurance paid on this
amount by the people of Pennington must
have amounted to fully $14O0 yearly. In
Eastport the amount paid unnecessarily for
insurance was much mere. Eastport people
estimate their loss at 100000. They were
or should have been insured for at least
$75o,000. Because of their lack of suitable
fire department they were forced to pay an
average of at least one and three-quarters
per cent for insurance more than necessary,
or the handsome sum of 5000 or $50
yearly. The amount paid to insurance COM
panies out Of the State would have pur-
chased engines and maintained an efficient
department. Eastport had an efficient vol
unteer fire company and they have in every
town meeting in recent years pleaded for a
steam engine. But no notice was taken of
them. These two examples ought to con-
vince the people of other villages which
still adhere to the penny wise and pound
foolish policy of Pennington and Eastport,
that parsimony is not economy.

to the danger of fire. The only valid objec
ton to the substitution is the increased cost,
but this will be found on examination to be
more apparent than real. The first cost is
more, to be sure, but the difference is soon
made up by the saving in insurance premiums
and in repairs. A brick building with a
slated roof will stand half century with
ont requiring dollars expenditure on its
exterior, while wooden building must be
painted and shingled every two or three
years or II will soon rot down. In the long
run the brick building is undoubtedly the
cheaper of the two, though costing some
what more at first. SO that, even leaving out
of account the hazard of fire, wise pru-
dence and forethought would suggest the use
of brick and stone instead of wood
