INSURANCE RATES REDUCED.
RISKS MUST BE REPORTED FAVOR
ABLY BY ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR.
The Reduction Averages About 10
Cents on Mercantile Stocks and
Buildings East of the Bluffs
Insurance News.

Specific reductions. averaging about 10
cents, have been made on mercantile risks
east of the bluffs, the proposed reductions
in all cases being contingent upon the IA
yorable report of the electrical inspector of
the insurance board and the approval of
Manager Fetter, of the board. Where the
equipments are not up TO the standard
fixed by the city ordinances no reductions
viii be made, and in some instances where
the Insured has beaten the rates down be-
low the general schedule, the manager OF
the board will refuse to approve a reduc-
ticn. The reduction applies only on stocks
Of merchandise and mercantile buildings
east of the bluffs. A similar reduction was
made on business property and stocks in
The bottoms about six months ago. I'M
proved facilities OF the fire department and
better water pressure, together with the
excellent fire record of the past few years
of business depression, are responsible for
the present reductions. The insurance rates
on all Kansas City property were advanced
considerably few years ago in anticipa-
lion of the supposed increased risks in hard
times. The IRE record for the period COW
cred by the advanced rates has shown.
however, that they were unnecessary, and
the continuance of the same good record
will result in a gradual scaling down of the
rates until they have reached normal ba-
sis again.
Kansas City daily journal., 1897-02-07
TWO INSURANCE DECISIONS.
erty without an Assign
ment of the Policy.

The Wisconsin supreme court has af-
frmed the decision of the superior court
of that state in finding for the insurance
companies in the Enger-Kress Company
case at Milwaukee. This company's plant
was totally destroyed by fire July Z, 1894.
and incendiarism was charged. Two weeks
before the fire the assured made volun-
tary assignment to one of its creditors.
On July l q receiver was appointed, and
the assignment was held TO be void. The
insurance companies refused to pay the
loss because they claimed that the change
of possession and title, by reason of the
voluntary assignment, voided the policies,
as the companies were not notified. The
courts upheld the companies. There was
S3S.150 insurance involved.
Judge Sedgwick, of Wahoo, Neb., tried
the case of Jensen against the Farmers
and Merchants Insurance Company, of
Lincoln. 1t seems that Jensen obtained in
surance from the defendant and afterward
transferred the property to his son, who
then conveyed IT to the plaintiffs wife. A
nre occurred which destroyed the property
and the company refused to pay, on the
ground that Jensen had made change in
the title of the property, which was con-
trary TO the provisions of the company.
Jensen proved that he had an insurable
interest in the property and that the
transfers TO the wife and son were merely
in trust. Judge Sedgwick held that the
transfer did not void the policy and direct
ed a verdict for the plaintiff.

Buying and Reading Rocks.
From Harper's Round Table

a good remark somebody made once ;s
that if you own books you do NOT have to
read them. That is, if you hear of a cer-
tam book, you say, IT must get that out
OF the library and read it." If YOU do so
1t is necessary to read it at once and re-
turn it. If you can buy it. you read what
portion satisfies your particular want at
the moment. and then there It stands

or college. Then, too, in these DAYS, when
there are so many hundreds of books n
