WANT TERM RATES.
BrattlebOrO Business Men Get After
the Insurance Companies.

Brattleboro, Nov. 14.-The business
men of Brattleboro and especially
the owners of the business blocks,
have been making inquiries of the
insurance underwriters and among
themselves relative to term rate of
insurance on their property in place
of the annual premium payments now
in vogue, and as a result of the dis
turabnce, the matter will probably be
taken to the board of underwriters
for Windham county.
Not only does the term rate affect
Brattleboro, but it also strikes Bel
lows Falls and the larger towns
throughout the country. In Brattle-
boro it has been the custom for the
owners of the large business blocks
and commercial property to pay their
insurance premiums annually, while
in other counties in the State owners
have been given the benefits of spec
ial term rate, and these, by paying
their premiums for term of three
years in advance, have been given the
advantage of five year term, while
in Brattleboro it has been necessary
to pay the premiums for the entire
five years.
When it was known that the term
was not in force in Brattleboro, this
being discovered short time ago in
connection with the investigation of
the insurance committee of the Board
of Trade an effort was made by the
local underwriters to have the term
rate put into effect, although in 1905
term rate for this county had been
proposed and entered. At that time
through an agreement between the
Windham county underwriters, the
term rate was held off, providing the
tariff rates should not be advanced
as at that time rates throughout the
east were advanced Owing to the great
San Francisco disaster.
At first the matter seemed one of
seriousness to the Brattleboro bus
mess men, and it appeared that they
had been mulcted to the extent Of
many thousands of dollars, but after
conference between property own
