surance committee OF the Commercial
club within short time. and will 90
over issues of the insurance rate qucs-
ton as il is seen from the Richmond
angle.
The insurance committee will meet
this week to decide on the date its big
meeting will be held Ii is believed
not advisable to present its data to the
insurance bureau until there is some
assurance of success in securing lower
rates.
Investigations have disclosed that
rates in Richmond are not normal
Other cities with far less fire prOtec-
ton and less efficient fire-fighting ap-
paratus than Richmond have had low
er rates for years.
The committee will show Mr.. Sol
ers the facilities this city has for fire
fighting, and will also use for strong
argument the fact that the fire loss
per capita in Richmond last year was
the lowest in the United States for
cities of twenty thousand or more pop
ulation.
The insurance expert will be shown
over the ground thoroughly, Rich
mond fire prevention preparations are
also believed to be as good. ii not SUI
periOr, to other cities for which the
Sellers bureau has made lower rates.
A decrease in rates of - per cent
on the average is hoped for. and the
committee will try to secure 10 per
cent lower rates if possible. The work
OF the insurance committee of the
Commercial club, while its member
ship has changed slightly. has been
carried on for years, and as far back
as 1909 work on the present data was
started.
