new INSURANCE RATES PLACE CITY
FAR AHEAD Of ANY OTHER IN STATE
Lower Ratings Show Value Of Efficient Fire and Water Depart
ments~PoIy Holders Get Refund of Money Paid
Since November of Last Year

But this is not all the blessings
brought about by the new water sys-
tenn. The ratings on all dwelling
houses have been dropped 10 cents on
every dollar. Every man who owns
a $1,000 house will save one dollar on
his insurance bids hereafter.
Heretofore the lowest rating on any
sort of a house has been 60 cents but
now a rate of 80 cents has been made
on class r Obrick) buildings.
Lowest Rate Ever Made.
This is the lowest insurance rate
ever made in Walla Wala on any
kind of Il building. Ordinary frame
buildings are 60 cents and those in be-
tween. known as class c, have 50
cent rate. Churches and private sta
bles have a $1.O0 rate.
These changes will effect saving
to every householder in Walla Walla
of 20 cents every three years on every
500 worth of insurance he carries.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-02-14

BY the new insurance ratings for
Walla Walla received yesterday after
noon this city is placed practically
where it was before the great San
Francisco fire caused an advance in
insurance rates all over the United
States. and q lower rate is made on
residence property than was ever
known here before.
While it is hard to make a general
ization from the mass of special rates
contained in the books sent by the
Washington underwriters association
to the different agents yesterday it is
probable that the average reduction
from the rates in force since the %
per cent advance made last May. will
be in the neighborhOod of 20 per cent.
This means that in nearly every in
stance where building has been
specially rated the advance on the old
ante-Frisco- rates will be less than
five per cent.
