FIRE INSURANCE SHOULD BE
LOWERED

Ogden business houses, carrying
heavy fire insurance. maintain that
insurance on frstclass risks is too
high; that ogden should not be under
the Jurisdiction OF the Pacific Coast
board and that tribute should not
be paid TO the Salt Lake branch OF.
fees.
Ogden concerns claim this Insur
ance is too expensive; that by the
time a percentage has been contrib
uted TO the upkeep OF the Salt Lake
and San Francisco offices. the insur-
ance rate becomes unreasonable.
To remedy this q movement has
been started to have local agents
deal direct with the eastern agencies
or the big insurance companies
Some insurance already has been
placed In that way
The Pacific Coast officials in con
troll of Insurance in this field have
been irresponsible to local conditions.
II dirty alleys and back yards with
inflammable material remain dirty or
are cleaned, the fire insurance con
tinues the same, though the hazard
depends In part on the presence or
absence of these rubbish heaps. Evi-
IDENTIFY the rate is made high enough
TO cover the worst risk SO that the
Insurance companies can rest indif.
lerent as 10 local conditions, whereas
in cities in the east, where the rate
is based on the actual risk, careful
surveillance Is invoked by the agents
of insurance companies and rates
fiuctuate.
or course Ogden is in need of a
cleaning in the business district.
There are too many old boxes and TOO
much waste paper back of the stores:
there is inllammable material every.
where. The fire chief undoubtedly
labors to remedy this condition, but
has limited authority and what au-
thority he has should be reinforced
by warnings from insurance inspec-
tors.
When there has been a thorough
cleanup, Ogden should demand lower
insurance rates. If the demand is
granted, there Will be but little in
surance diverted from the local COM
panieS.
