written statement was given out LOT
publication last evening by Mr.. l.. X.
Warren, the Richmond member OF tne
committee, which deals almost ehtiIeiy
with the question OF rates In R.cnmohu,
and pays very little attention 10 tns
squabole between the local agents ana
the non-board companies, a question
which II was thought they met here spe.
cially 10 settle. 1t disposes Of this part
OF the matter as follows:
las to the suggestions which nave Deeil
made on account OF the attitude OF d
number OF new insurance enterprises; III
offering their policies at less rate imam
asked by the old Institutions, or IN holu-
ing out the promise OF a dividend, we
can only opine that this Is a temporary

RICHMOND RATES.
In regard TO fire insurance rates in
Richmond, as compared with other cities
the report says:
given the situation most careful consid-
Grafton and investigation. and, after
full conference with the local under
writer's, il has been ascertained that there
is no just ground for the complaints as
is the general rating of the city. In fact,
IL has been very clearly demonstrated
that the rates. taken as a whole, do not
average higher than those formerly cX-
listing prior TO the operation OF the
schedule of the Association.
1t will be found that the rates on the
best classes of risks have been reduced.
Brick dwellings, for instance. have been
reduced 80 per cent. in Richmond. 1t Will
also be found that the best class of mer-
camille buildings have in many cases
been rated at less rate than formerly.
AS to special hazards of Richmond, II has
long been criticism of well-posted UNI
derwriters that rates were absurdly loN
as compared with rates on similar risks
in other cities. or as judged from their
own inherent hazards.
SCHEDULE REVISION.
For several months past the association
has been engaged In revision of their
general schedule of rates and deficiency
charges. and upon the completion OF the
work the new schedule will be applied TO
Richmond as well as TO the other cities,
and il will receive the benefit of any re-
duction made in this revision.
The balance of the report Is devoted 10
a description of the methods of the asso-
citation and the alleged advantages that
IL has brought to insurers.
II was reported last evening that the
committee would adopt the compact sys-
TEN in Richmond which provides for
manager who will pass on policies Issued
Tariff Association and discharge all the
functions of the local board. In that
event the local board will be disbanded.
None OF the agents approached knew
the decision of the committee on THIS
matter.
