THE INSURANCE RATES.

The Illinois state board of fire un

FIRE insurance rates in this state are

announced the particular classification

as No. AZ town, the next lowest OF
the six classfications into which Hi
nois cities are divided
AT therequest Of the local insurance
men. the state board has prepared a
list OF requirements necessary to ad-

of which is plainly set forth in a let

board reproduced on another page OF
