This is an experience OF three years, and
| while scarcely sufficient to determine and fix
absolutely the rates and policy OF the Com
psny, it, yet, furnishes most valuable sug
gestfons and demonstrates the wisdom OF the
action Of the Company one year ago in in
creaaiog the rates on barns and their con-
tents from this date Indeed the result Of the
next few years experience will probably show
that the new rate, now going into effect, Is
not yet high enough.
There are two other matters to which your
committee beg leave to direct the attention OF
the members and particularly Of the Board OF
Directors, namely:
1st.-The necessity Of increased and sys-
tematic care in scrutiniziug the moral hazard
involved in every risk about to be assumed.
This is particularly necessary and important
In a mutual company, because most every
applicant Is an acquaintance and perhaps
neighbor, of one or perhaps several of the
Directors and 1t is always difficult and dis
agreeable to pass judgment upon a moral
question affecting a neighbor.
2d.-The great advantage Of having every
loss of auy size investigated and adjusted by
an officer who has the requisite qualifications
and makes such work a business.
Both of these matters are Of the utmost
importance. The mention of them at once
commends the assent of all experienced in
suraoce people and they are most earnestly
commended to the careful attention Of the
Board of Directors and the Executive Com
mittee. 8. A. WILLIAMS,
