WHY RAISE THE RATES ,

II Is not the Insured alone who are ques-
ioning the justice OF increasing fire insur-
ance rates In eastern cities because there
have been tremendous losses at san Fran
cisco as the result OF an earthquake. In
surance underwriters. some OF them at
least, question the equity and the wis
dom of such course At a recent meet
Ing, the Fire Insurance Exchange OF
New York voted to increase rates on risks
In that city and vicinity from 10 to %
per cent
An immediate result of this action was
that the Continental Insurance company
formally withdrew from the Exchange.
In giving the reason for this course the
president OF the Continental company
said I'VE do not deem 81 wise or prop
er TO penalize property owners In New
York or elsewhere now paying ADEQUATE
rates because of an unusual loss due
primarily 20 an earthquake in San San
Francisco. and we shall oppose to the ex-
tent OF OLLIE ability -al,a az.lsiass at s,,el, ae
| ton In New York and other cities or sec-
tons OF the country where the rates are
now adequate"
III Is an impresnable position the pres-
dent OF tho Continental company takes in
this matter. II existing rites are fatr
under normal conditions there seems no
valid reason for increasing them through
out the country because one section has
suffered cahmitous loss. Perhaps. when
the final adjustment is made the burden
on the Insurance companies may be found
even heavier than the earlier estimates
But should that prove to be the case. ar
attempt 10 tighten the burden on the in.
swance companies by Increasing rates or
hrst-ciass risks in communities through
out the whole country that are well pro
tected against fire could be viewed IN n,
other light than inequitable and even un
reasonable.
