RATE-FIXING POWER.
Local and Outside Insurance Men in
Conference.

A conference Of representatives Of local
fire insurance companies with local agents
of outside companies. on the subject Of the
reduction of rates for this city. begun yes
terday afternoon, was continued today. The
plan. at least so far as the local companies
are concerned, is to organize a local board
Of underwriters on which all companies
doing business here will be represented. il
they so desire. The movement is to take
the rate-fixing power out Of the hands of
outsiders.
What the outcome of the present con-
ference will be is not known. but it is said
to be generally believed by the local COM
panies that local board Of underwriters
will result. An official Of one Of the local
companies stated today that in his opin-
ion there will be no cutting of the rates in
this city by the outside companies that will
force the local companies to drop from
their present rates.
The condition Of affairs in fire insurance
circles which has brought about the con-
ference is the result of an announcement
by the outside companies doing business
here that a cut in rates recommended by
the Association of Underwriters which met
in Philadelphia recently will go into effect
at once. 1t amounts to a reduction of ap-
proximately 80 per cent in the premiums of
preferred fire insurance risks. Stubborn
opposition on the part of the local COM
panies developed
conference to effect compromise was
finally arranged in the hope that rate
war may be averted.

Steamers for Jamestown Exposition.

1t is expected that there will be fleet of
fifty or more steamers employed In and
about Hampton roads during the James
town exposition, and the officials of the
steamboat inspection service will have their
hands full seeing that they are kept up to
the mark required by the navigation laws
to insure the safety of the thousands of pas
sengers who will travel on them in the
seven months the exposition will be In ope-
ration. In order to perform the inspection
work properly Supervising Inspector John
w. CAST has asked for detail of six ad-
ditional inspectors to aid his regular force
about Norfolk during the time of the ex-
position. 1t is stated that Capt. CAST will
deny a license to all Anticipated wooden
hull boats to run In his district, carrying
excursion passengers during the exposition,
and this decision on the part of the steam
boat authorities will prevent a large num-
Der of old boats from being brought from
points in New England to Norfolk for serv-
ice. 1t is the purpose Of the inspection Of
ficials to make travel by water as free from
danger as it is possible to make it, and as
accidents attendant with loss of life are
few on steamboats,, the care exercised by
Capt CASTS forces will make steamboat
travel on Hampton roads comfortable and
safe.
