THE RATE WAR OVER
Agreement Reached That Will Settle The
Fire.!nSuranCe Troubles Here.
TARIFF REDUCED ONE FOURTH.
This Applies to Business Risks, but
Not to Residence or LOng-Term
POlicics-How This Solution Was
Brought About.
Brought About.

| The fire insurance rate-war In Rich
nond has run It's course.
The fight between the Board and Nom
Beard agencies is over, at least for the
present. and the indications are that
henceforth harmony and uniformity Of
rates will prevail.
The trouble, with which readers of the
Dispatch have been kept familiar, came
to an end yesterday In a general meet
! ing OF agents, of which the following
authorized report was afterwards fur
nished to the press:
An adjourned meeting OF the under
| derwriters Of the city was held to-day,
! and an agreement as TO rates was
reached. which was accepted as binding
upon all participating. The rates adopted
take effect from this date. and 1t Is con-
fdently believed that an adjustment of
all insurance differences has been se-
cured"
This gratifying statement was prepared
by a committee appointed for that pur-
pose, and gives in a nutshell the result
Of the meeting. Some additional details
may be interesting. All OF the agencies
In the city were represented In the meet
ing except two. one OF the absent agents
was at the preliminary meeting held on
Saturday, and signIfied his acquiescence
In the proposed plan of adjustment The
other one was out OF the city, but is
thought 10 be in sympathy with the move
ment n well-posted man said last night
tina. he thought the action taken would
be heartily endorsed and the agreement
lived up to by every agency in Richmond
Under the agreement entered into there
is to be no further cutting of rates All
insurance in business lines Will be writ
ten at p per cent. !ess than the tariff OF
charges arranged by the Southeastern
Tariff Association. The rates for dwell
ing-hOuses and for other buildings where
longterm policies are issued will remain
at the present figures, which are consider
ed reasonable. The matter Of rules and
clauses has not yet been considered, but
it is not thought that any trouble will be
experienced In reaching a satisfactory
conclusion as II these. There will prOba-
bly, he fewer restrictions and special con-
ditiOns than formerly.
The Southeastern Tariff Association has
not been officially consulted about the
plan agreed upon yesterday, but there
seems little doubt that its approval will
be forthcoming The association tried its
utiipSl " bAlHb an VI INC NOU-DOdTu COIL
panes here back under its control. but
utterly failed and as its efforts resulted
in the rate war. It Is not likely that fur
thor trouble will be invited. On the con-
trary. IL is believed that the Richmond
agents viii be given more discretlol and
latitude than ever before since the Tariff
Association took this State under its wing
The outlook is for peace, harmony, and
equitable rates. II Is not unlikely that
before long there will be an entirely new
rating.

both morning and night. AT night the
subject previously announced VINO

congregation. The reverend divine was
in fine voice. and preached what some
might call a sensational sermon. though
the hearty congratulations extended MIN
showed that the sympathy OF his hearers

He said II Is the preachers duty to
sound the alarm when danger TO our
morals was ahead. God has ordained
certain rules for the government of
his people. and popular leaders are but
the followers Of what is popular with the
peopie. The sad war through which we
passed was brought on by politicians.
and but few of them stood the fire
