FIGHT FOR LOWER RATES

A Few days ago the Times
Recorder published a statement
showing the losses from fires IN
Americas for the past five years.
The official figures showed that
the total fire loss in this city, for
that period of time, was but ST.
385 year, and that the percentage
of loss to the insurance actually
involved was but 3 per cent. The
percentage of loss to the total
amount of insurance carried In
this city would have been minutes
imal.
The rate of insurance in Ameri-
Gus is very high, ranging probably
at 2 per cent. on business risks as
to buildings, and . on stocks.
These excessively high rates of
insuraE ce will continue unless a
determined fight is made for lower
rates, the same as has been done
in other cities.
The fire record of Americas
justifies this city is calling on the
Southeastern Tariff Association
for some reduction, small though
it may be, in the rates here. It
has been shown that the water
supply is adequate and the fire
department competent. Results
speak volumes in that connection.
Why, then, should not Americas
be given the benefit of these i'm
portant measures of fire protection
Why should it not be regarded
as worthy of more consideration at
the hands of the companies in the
Southeastern Tariff Association?
This is matter that the Board
of Trade and I'll e city Cover nment,
working together for the good OF
the business community, might
well take up at an early date.
The insurance business has made
good money out of Americas No
one will discredit that statement.
The people have borne the burden
without complaint. But the
volume of insurance business here
is steadily increasing and it does
seem Hthat there should be some
concessions granted by the COM
panies to the insurers here.
1t has been suggested that each
city in Georgia organize mutual
insurance company, land that these,
working in operation together,
could do much to relieve the
insurance situation drought the
state and bring lower rates. This
may be a matter for future
consideration. But in any event
Americas should take up the
cudgels for lower rates than it has
been paying for years past.

INDIAN DELEGATES FIGHT.

Surat Bombay. Dec. 27-After two days Of
futile efforts TO elect a president the Indian
National Congress broke up this afternoon IN
free fight.
The congress. which meets annually, was of
especial interest this year, owing to the agita-

assembled yesterday the. moderates and ex-
tremists at once locked horns this ISSUE and
the meeting adjourned amid much disorder
When the delegates reassembled to-day their
passions broke loose and the platform from
which moderation had been advised was rushed
by the extremists in body, who loudly de-
manded the speedy establishment of complete
home rule Chairs and tables were broken in
the scrimmage, and table legs and other pieces
of shattered furniture were used by the delegates
as bludgeons. The fighting became fierce and
many delegates sustained serious injuries before
the police finally came in and cleared the hall.
