Concerning Life and Fire Insur-
ance Companies.

: - = 3 -
Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of
last week, I noticed an editorial
comm ent ,one"old line"0 insurance
companies writing insurance at
cost, in which you say that the
same policies could be issued very
much cheaper bv cutting down un-
reasonably large salaries, and I
agree with you, but there are ex-
ceptions. Any cold line" company
. not only with high salaried Off
GERS, but those which write de-
ferred dividend insurance and in
case of-lapse or death confscate
the profits that rightfully belong
to the policy holder, necessarily
increases the cost of the insur-
ance, but where the dividends
arising for the premiums paid by
the policy holders and from other
sources are used to increase the
face of the policy or decrease the
premium which must be paid by
the assured and which companies
have no high salaried officers are
the exceptions I allude to. I think
if.you will give the matter careful
consideration, you will find that
there are some s'old line" compa-
MES which should not be classed
with some others which have
shown a disposition to take it
all"
Just a word about fire insurance
companies charges for policies: !:
The premiums are based upon a
rate made by a board of disinter-
ested but experienced fire insur-
ance underwriters, and the rate is
made as equitable as conditions
will permit. The rates in our town
have been reduced from 10 to
30%. this year and in the country
from 1.50 to 100. By reference to
,,one of the largest fire insurance
companies, I find that the actual
fire losses exceed 679o o4of their
premiur1 income and when you
consider that a company has the
expense of adjue.ing losses be:
sides other necessary expenses
such as taxes, licenses, ETC., there
is not a very great margin left fol
the other expenses incident to the
conduction of a we'll regulated
company.
