CONFERENCE IS HELD I
on INSURANCE RATES

Chicago, Dec. ,10.-Rating ofR1cials
representing the leading fire insurance
companies Of the country conferred
here today on the Availability Of for
muIating 4 schedule for general use IN
the rating OF dwellings and their con-
tents. The dwelling class Is the only
important class not rated by schedule.
and there has been . growing demand
from state supervisory officials and
others for closer fixing Of the rate
to the hazard than Is possible under
the flat rate system usually applied to
such risks. The question Is ono Of diff
ficulties owing to the unusual num-
Dor Of dwellings. the wide variations In
their hazards. and the smallness Of the
average premium involved. The pre-
vailing opinion Is believed to favor a
schedule which will begin with q
maximum rate covering all the usual
hazards Of the class, to be reduced by
credits for protection and various I'm
provements.

Roosevelt said.

to see that our platform pledges are
kept. Though we haven't control OF

have them adopted. I want leglsia-
