DEPUTY ROSE TALKS
He Does Not Like Some ofthe Criti-
csms Heard.
Says the People will Have to Pay,
Improve Their Risks or
Not Insure.
HIS REQUEST FOR PUBLIC GOOD

Stamp Deputy q. O. Rose, of the
insurance underwriters, is not enthus-
iastically pleased with the reception
of his suggestion or request made at
the last council meeting relative to
insurance license in Paducah.
Mr.. Rose, who is the insurance in.
spector in Psducah, submitted to the
council communication assuring the
citizens lower rates IL the license is
made reasonable. In Lexington. Ky,
and other cities outside of Louisville
the license is quite small, compare
lively. In Lexington it is si6 year,
and in Psducsh it is $50.
Mr.. Rose says he made the recon-
wendstion solely in the interest Of
the public, and does not like to have
it said that it is "hold-up" on part
of the insurance companies.
1T appears" declared Mr.. Rose
this morning, that there are some Of
our citizens who would really be
disappointed should the insurance
companies fail to make an increase in
insurance rates A number Of them
are already making a howl without
first learning whether or not they are
hit.
"In regard to the new schedule, l
want to say most positively that
when it is applied in Paducah the
man who has a good risk will get
low rate, and the man who has bad
risk will have to pay for it.
"It seems, however, that . great
many people are unreasonable. Why,
the other day, am informed, one
good citizen publicly made the remark
that my request 10 the city council
was one Of the most monumental
pieces of gall he ever heard of. Now
this same gentleman has just complet-
ed new building, an ornament to the
city and a credit to the owner. was
called to make q rate on the build.
ing, and although the new schedule
has not been applied. l found that
the insurance on the new building
would be cheaper under the new
schedule than under the old, so l ask
ed and obtained permission to apply
the new schedule and got it. 1t
proved to be Ss cents less than IL
would have been under the old sched-
ule. Now If it had not for my mon
umental gall, this gentleman would
now be paying a great deal more than
he is.
II don't mean to say, however, that
all rates will be reduced by an apphca-
ton of the new schedule. Good and
bad risks will be treated according to
their merits and dement's. Those who
have bad risks will have to do one of
three things, pay for the defects, I'M
prove the risks, or do without insur-
ance.
In regard to the request made to
the council, did il in the interest of
the public, to secure a lower rate,
ana l want to state positively that IL
the request had been granted the in
surance rates in Paducah would have
been made lower"

than those IN which general state
elections are held. New and com

the latter years, but while the law
is not specific on the subject OF
what shall be done at other times,
the attorney general is of the opIn-
ion that the intention of the law
makers was to provide for the
opening and revision of the rolls
before all elections, "otherwise no

that the books, papers and records

as implying that registration may
