the sooner the better. In a number oil
places the leaves and rubbish from last
Fall will be found along the fences and
in many instances the streets are filled
with the trimmings OF trees and other re.

SUGGESTS A NEW PLAN.
Secretary Stewart Advises Mutual Com
pany to Abandon Assessment Plan.

.
Secretary Stewart Advises Mutual Com
pany to Abandon Assessment Plan
To the members of the Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance Co. OF the
Town of Redwood Falls:-Through
the courtesy of the country press |
submit for the consideration of our
members proposition suggesting
certain changes in our methods OF
collecting funds, which, if adopted
by the company at its next annual
meeting, will reduce operating ex-
penses to the minimum, prevent the
shrinkage occasioned by the failure
to collect assessments in full and
thereby materially lessen the cost
of insurance.
Under present methods funds are
derived from two sources: first,
payment on policies which is fixed
at 10 cents per 500 Insurance.; and,
second, annual assessments levied
on all policies in force at rate made
in reference to the amount OF losses
incurred during the year.
The plan proposed is to increase
the rate on first payment of policies
to a point which will bring into our
treasury annually sufficient funds to
pay operating expenses and pro-
vide for all losses, which rate can
be safely estimated by consulting
our own past experience and the
record of other farm mutual insur-
ance companies in the state.
Our experience has demonstrated
that the assessment plan is awk.
ward. expensive, and should only
be employed in disastrous years,
when the funds are insufficient to
meet requirements. By adopting
the plan proposed there would be a
saving 10 the item Of postage fully
81 per cent, the cost Of exchange to
the member in remittance of assess
ments and the shrinkage in collec-
tions, which can be safely estimated
at 10 per cent. of the amount called.
| feel safe in the statement that we
can protect our risks by fixing the
rate O. first payment on policies at
Soc. 500 for term of five years,
which now costs US $1.10. BY con-
sulting the financial statements for
he past three years ending Dec
31st | find that this rate would pro
vide for the payment of all losses
and operating expenses, and leave a
comfortable balance to our credit.
10 the year 1901 there were
$50 policies written, value. 1888, 1890

1903 4O0(appx.) " 49,. $50, 100000
Total, 1912 policies, $2,2S5, $4,000
In other words the total amount
of insurance written in three
years would. under the proposed
plan, bring receipts to the amount
of $40, 325 35. For the past three
years the Disbursements were as
