QUESTION OF CONTRIBUTION.
United States Court Settles the Ano-
ka DISPUTE.

An important case has just been decided in
the United States court of appeals, st. Louis
Mo-, brief status of which is as follows
In November, 1S93 fire destroyed a lumber
yard belonging to Page Bros. at Anoka
Blanket insurance of $4,000 covered the yard
burned and one adjoining, which was not
damaged. There was also $4,000 specific in
surance on property destroyed.
The question Of contribution came up at
once the companies having specific insur-
ance claiming that the total amount Of in
surance should contribute pro rata, while the
companies having blanket insurance contend
ed that an average clause should apply
although their policies contained no such
clause The assured was finally persuaded
by the companies having blanket insurance
to accept a settlement applying the average
clause. agreeing that If they were beaten in
court Of last resort they would make up the
difference.
The case was first tried in the district
supreme court at St. Paul. and Judge Mel
son held that the total amount of insurance
should contribute pro rata. The case was
appealed to the United States court of ap-
peals St. Louis, where Judge Nelson's ruling
sustained.
A large number of leading companies are
interested in the case and underwriters gen.
orally, in that precedent has been estab-
lished.
