To Change Vermont Rate.
At the meeting OF the New England
Insurance Exchange last week in Boston
the Vermont committee introduced
motion to establish minimum rate in
Vermont of 2R percent with 80 percent
reinsurance on lumber stored in piles in
open fields without exposure" At
present the rate ranges on an average
about 8 to 315 percent without coinsur-
ance. The subject is one of considerable
Importance to lumber dealers, who have
felt that the rate is excessive. From now
on immense quantities OF lumber are cut
down and sawed by means OF portable
sawmills, and piled in open fields until
its sale has been effected. The wood is
green and difficult of ignition, as rule
free from "exposure'-th insurance ex-
preston implying that no buildings or
inhammable material are sufficiently
near to it from which the lumber might
take fire.
