INSURANCE. AND FIRE.
Bailin Calvin Reviewing the Situation
In BrattlehOrO.

To the Editor of the Reformer,
Sir Il believe the time has come
when the matter of fire insurance
should be more thoroughly locked into
by the public and insurance rates pro
portioned to the risks and protection on
every piece of properly insured in city,
village and town. That there is some.
thing wrong, radically wrong, in the
matter of fire insurance is plain. That
we should have valued policy law, that
no insura ice agent should place risk
on any piece of property, personal or
real estate. unless he has personally
looked over the same, that such risk
should not be for over twc-thirds of its
value, that the risk should be looked
after, ought to be evident. You can go
into any insurance Office and place al
most any amount of insurance on per.
sonal property and household furni-
ture, regardless Of Its value. The CO.
insurance clause attached to policies
today is all wrong: instead of being 80
per cent il should not be over 80 per
cent, which placed in connection with
former suggestions would do more to
reduce fire losses than all the fire
marshals the legislature will be likely
to appoint The insurance agents
should be the fire marshalls and look
after the risks. During all these hard
times when manufacturing industries,
business men and iaborers have had
o economize and cut down expenses to
get along, nave the fire insurance
companies reduced their officers sal,
aries or agents commissions or IN any
way reduced tho cost of insurance: |
am not aware that they have. | ask
fol information. AS to the fact that the
companies have been meeting
with heavy losses in Vermont. the
following table showing premiums re
ceived and losses paid for sixteen years
will show:
