VALUED POLICY BILL KILLED.
Fl. 75-Relating to total losses on fire
| insurance policies. Mr.. Porter of Will
nngton called No the bill and favored
its passage Mr.. Dixon of Hardwick
| thought the bill might be an incentive to
dishonesty on the part of building owners.
Mr.. McFeeters OF Enosburgh opposed as
Unfair to insurance companies and likely
| to bring an increase of rates. Mr.. Dur
| ick thought the present law covered the
subject of insurance we'll enough and If
this bill passes the insured will pay the
freight and some companies will with
draw. Mr. Gale of Gulford favored the
bill said New Hampshire had tried a
valued policy law with beneficial results;
cost of insurance under such a law Is not
greater, but less. More careful inspection
of risks would be the rule, and insured
and insurers would reap advantage. Mr..
Wells of Cabot spoke for the committee,
who We're agreed in reporting the bill
adversely; they regarded insurance as an
indemnity and not a speculation. Insur-
ance rates In New Hampshire. they found
were higher than in Vermont. He oppos-
ed the bill. Mr.. Pape said the measure
would prove an incentive to incendiarism
The passage of such a law drove many
companies out of New Hampshire, and
rates there have steadily increased. And
