BOOSTED The, RATES
Fire Insurance Goes up
Considerably on Ger
tain Classes

The local fire insurance agents have
received notice from Walter Fisher, eecre.
tary OF the state board of underwriters
that fire insurance rates have been
raised as follows:
20 per cent on stocks of merchan disc.
30 per cent on all machine shops

and on all iron and metal workers
40 per cent on all boot and shoe fac.
tories.
SO per cent on all paper mills.
20 per cent ON all terminal elevators.
Not country. .~-e@
20 per cent on all -four mills.
Is per cent on all furniture factories.
25 per cent on all summer hotels.
Is per cent on all saw mills.
The official circular says that ex-
perlence shows that on the above classes
for the laet Il We years the indemnity has
been furnished below cost. and the ad.
varce is necessary to make those class es
pay their just proportion OF fire tax.
This action has already been taken in
the cities and none Of the classes named
are exem pit in this state, except sprink.
lered risks.
The advance will hold good until such
risks can be rerated under schedules
which will be more discriminating as
between good and poor risks. The re.
rating will be taken up and pushed az
rapidly as possible SO that the first ad.
vance will not be permanent.
There is general belief. however, that
the companies are seeking to recoup
themselves for losses in the San Francis.
