RATES ARE EXCESSIVE
Measure Causes Much Controversy
as Many Are in Favor OF Having
Complete Observation-Disclosures
of High Rate in Wilmington SUBJ
mitted to Committee.

The committee on propositions and
grievances of the house has given
another lengthy hearing on the
Koonce bill for legislative commits
| sion TO investigate the conduct of
| fire insurance companies in North
Carolina and still the matter Is left
open. Mr.. Koonce, who is both
chairman of the committee and
author of the bill. has gone home
sick and the committee defers action
until he returns. A. w. McAllister,
representing prominent home insur-
ance companies. and Col. Walker
Taylor. Of Wilmington, and Col
Charles L. Johnson, Raleigh. we're
the principal speakers against COM
mission investigation and G. @. Cow
ington. commission merchant of Will
mington. and J. Laughinghouse,
superintendent of the penitentiary,
for investigation.
Mr.. McAllister insisted that in
yestigation is not needed and that II
would infiict hardship on the insur-
ance companies. especially the home
companies, which are Just getting on
something of a substantial basis. He
and Colonel Taylor and Colonel John
son insisted that 20 per cent. re-
Iduction of rates in North Carolina
such as Governor Kitchin Is asking,
would have the effect of driving
every home company out Of business
and Colonel Taylor declared that 1t
is an established fact that Is per
cent. sealing OF the rates throughout
the United States would put every
company in the entire country out OF
business. Such an extraordinary in
|vestigation as is proposed would pre-.
suppose something wrong, the speak
ers insisted.
c. c. Covington told OF per cent.
rate being demanded for a certain
risk in Wilmington on the wharf by
the Southeastern Tariff association
and Of getting insurance through a
New York broker in companies not
licensed to do business in North Car
olina for sS.75. He thought condl-
tions such as this called for investi-
cation. Colonel Taylor, OF Whining
ton. explained that the risks in this
property were exceptionally great.
with old frame building, with sparks
from river steamers on one side and
from railroad track on he other and
the unlicensed companies took the
risk without inspection and without
sharing the state taxes and regula-
tions of the North Carolina insur-
ance law and with no means OF suing
them in this state for recovery OF
any losses.
The discussion closed with
'rapid-fre" colloquy between Col
onel Taylor and Superintendent
Laughinghouse that conyulsed the
committee and spectators with laugh
ter at the expense Of Mr.. Laughing
house. who insisted to the end. how.
ever, that there should be an inyesti-
CATION II for nothing else, then Just
to prove that one is not needed.
