BUILDING CHANGES
VOID POLICIES.
Conversion Of Houses Into
Stores Has Initiated IN
surance in Many Cases
OWNERS HELPLESS

Hundreds of unburned properties in
San Francisco, so it is alleged by at
torneys who have to do with insurance
in connection with large savings banks
In this city, are covered by policies
that have been yoided by the acts of
their owners and without their knowl-
edge. The changes in the nature of
the occupancy of a building have vi
tiated the insurance in many cases.
Where buildings have been insured as
residences and have been converted in
part only, simply by the letting of
rooms for offices, without any altera-
ton in the building, this is sufficient TO
prevent the recovery of insurance in
case of loss by fire unless permission
to rent had been written on the policy
by the insuring company Old build
ings have been elevated that stores
may be placed under them Around
homes are built one-story additions
that are subdivided into stores. A
great variety of building changes are
made for promoting business and fur
nishing accommodations. In all these
instances insurance is endangered un-
less the policy is changed to fit the new
conditions.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars may
easily be lost by carelessness in this
matter, so both attorneys and bankers
say. The voiding of policies may take
place especially along four lines These
are: When alterations or repairs are
made that violate the conditions of the
policy, where workmen are employed
more than ten or fifteen days at time
without securing the consent of the
insurers, such as making stores of
Easements or altering dwellings into
flats; where the nature of the occu-
pancy of a building is changed even
when the building is not changed. and
where the risk is increased by the erec-
tion of fiimsy structures adjoining or
by the increased hazard due to the
opening of saloons, etc.
