ms. Com. Blunt Says Recent
Raise in Insurance Rates
Was Unjustifiable and
Unwarranted
MAKES PLAIN TALK
Hearing Under New Apple Pack
ing Law-State Board of
Health and Embalming
Board Meet
Next meeting Of the Governor and
Council, 10 A. NJ, Wednesday, Oct. %.

State Insurance Commissioner Blunt
is unsparing in his denunication of the
recent arbitrary raise in insurance
rates throughout Maine in order to
make up for the losses due to a Short
sighted policy in Massachusetts. He
told the Maine Fire Insurance agents
in convention at Camden that the raise
was "unjustified and unwarranted,
and warned the New England Insur-
ance Exchange that they were invit-
ing drastic legislation to prevent such
action in the future.
Tuesday, in answer to questions he
said:
THE action of the Exchange in
creases the rates on dwelling houses
80 1-3 per cent There is nothing in
the experience of the companies doing
business in Maine to warrant such an
increase. It is true that in time this
will be re-adjusted SO that the increase
in Maine will be about five per cent,
but that does not help much. I do
not believe that the men responsible
for this raise are cognizant of Maine
conditions, or If they are, that the
raise was due to them.
LAS a matter OF fact am informed
that some Of them have been selling
insurance too cheaply in some of the
Massachusetts cities like Boston, wor-
cester, Springfield, Haverhill, Lynn and
Salem and that, in order to make
themselves whole, they have voted to
assess the whole of New England for
1t. That isn't right"
The Commissioner was asked IL the
Salem disaster Is responsible to any
very great degree?"
mo. 1t is not that" was the reply
TT is condition that has been grow
ing for years. The companies found
they had been selling their insurance
too cheaply and now ask everybody
to help pull them out of their uncom-
Portable position. They are making a
serious mistake, for such a policy is
certain to bring a long list of troubles
in its train
AT the present time the statutes OF
the State of Maine provide that only
citizens of the State can write insur-
ance on Maine property. The next
step, and it is very likely to be taken
in view of what has happened, is to
provide that only citizens of the State
siiaii iiihhN ZIG tdlVo at NiiiNli liiC III
surance may be sold. If such legisla.
ton is presented and enacted into law
1t will embarass some of the compan-
les and will, no doubt, be distastefu
to all Of them, but IL 1t comes they
can charge II up to this highhanded
action. ~
II have only mentioned dwelling
houses, but of course other classes OF
property have suffered. 1t is some
thing Unprecedented and, were it not
that the interest of the general public
is held by the war and financial
stringency, it would cause more of a
Juror than II has thus far
