HAGGERTY INSURANCE LAW

A petition is being circulated
throughout the State, among prop
erty owners, to be presented to the
Legislature which meets on Mon
day June 18th inst, asking for the
repeal of the Haggerty Insurance
Law which was passed at the last
session of the Legislature. The
following reasons are given why
this law should be repealed:
Act No. ITO of the Acts OF the
General Assembly Session of 1900
(more familiarly known as the
Anti Compact or Haggerty Law
should be repealed because it has
not only failed to accomplish the
purpose of its enactment but be-
cause Of the burdensome restric-
tons imposed upon fire insurance
companies it has, as an unavoid-
able consequence, injuriously af-
fected the interests of the property
owners Of the State.
The law has caused contraction
in the supply of fire insurance in
the state by forcing the retirement
of a number Of companies and CON-
polling those that are remaining to
largely reduce their lines, thus
making it impossible to secure
adequate protection for large aggre-
gated values.
The loss if continued will SER
iously handicap and retard indus
trial expansion in the State, as
capital will not venture upon any
enterprise if adequate protection
against loss by fire cannot be SO.
cured.
It was predicted that the enact
ment of the law would be followed
by increased loss by fire. A COM
parison Of the record Of 1900 with
that of 1901 will demonstrate that
the prediction has been fully veri-
fed.
In 1900 the total amount of fire
insurance written by the fire insur-
ance companies in the State was
1896, 487, $4,000 and the incurred
lossef during that year amounted
to $1,l40, G49.40 showing a net
cost Of So cents on every 800 of
value insured.
the aggregate amount of
fire insurance written in the State
was 1918, 1872, 1O3. Ga, and the losses
incurred 81, 76O, 527.99 showing a
net cost Of 80 cents on every 800
Of value insured.
There has been therefore in one
year an increase Of over 81 per
cent in the amount of property an
initiated by fire.
The average rate in 1900 was l.33
per cent. The average rate in 1901
was 1.33 per cent, showing that
the Haggerty law did not decrease
rates as it was confidently expected
it would.
This law causes great hardship
to property owners by preventing
insurance companies from agreeing
to reduce rates for improvements
in risks. This retards removal of
defects and causes an increase in
rates. Also the disbanding Of
boards leaves property owners
without any authority whom they
can consult as to how to make i'm
provements and how to install pro-
tective devices, or fuel oil plants,
etc., and this contributes to increase
of fires, and therefore, increase of
rates.
From the standpoint of equity
aud fairness the law should be re.
pealed as under existing conditions
the fire insurance is the only bust
ness in the State hampered by such
legislation. All other interests
may cooperate except the fire
insurance interest, and this fact
has led eminent counsel to expires
the opinion that the law is uncon-

Letter to II. WethereII,

Dear Sir: When you build house
you want a good paint next the wood
it goes long way in taking care of
the wood. The paint that has the best
chance to be useful is this first coat;
first two coats; first three coats. The
first takes care of the wood; the Sec
ond takes care of the first; the third
takes care of The two. All three be-
come one; and that one is to last for
ever. Forever" means as long as
the house lasts. The way to make
the first painting last, as long as the
house, is to follow it up with repaint-
ing often enough.
How often? Depends on the paint.
Repaint while the paint is still water
proof. All the wear is outside; there
is no wear on the under paint. This
is how the first painting lasts forever;
by keeping it covered; keeping it
sound. And this is the cheapest way
to take care of house. But how often
to paint depends on your paint. If
you paint lead and oil, paint again in
three years or less; if Devoe Ready
Paint, paint again in three years or
more.
That "less" and more" are about
as one to two. Devoe Ready Paint
takes care of house at half cost be-
cause it lasts twice as long as lead
and oil.

EAGER TO BE CROWNED.
King Edward Wants an Early Date
for the Ceremony.

LONDON, July 6.-The news that the
coronation of King Edward was to be
held before the middle of August was
published in America before it was
known here. But the Times and other
papers this morning confirm the an
nouncement. From the same excellent
source 1T is learned today that the
pressing forward of the coronation was
due to the personal insistence of the
King. His doctors were at first opposed
TO such an early date, but the King de-
clined to agree to any other plans. The
doctors agree that it Will be far better
for King Edward to get through the
turmoil of the coronation as soon as
possible rather than have il hanging
over him for months.
The King is determined rot to break
up the court at Buckingham Palace un-
til after the coronation. He may go on
board his yacht for a few days cruise
but he is more likely to remain in Lon
don until the celebration is over, and
then take a prolonged holiday
The bulletin regarding the condition
of King Edward posted at buckingham
Palace at 10 O'Clock this morning say:
The Kings progress is all that can
be desired. "
