OUR NEW RATE
 OF INSURANCE
REDUCED SCHEDULE SHOWS COMPANIES CONFIDENCE
 IN SEWARD.

The new fire insurance rates which we have just received represent the adoption of an entirely new schedule for Seward. In the pas, We have been governed by what is known as "Taria of Rates Book No. 4," which includes a minimum charge of one dollar for every hundred dollars of protection on dwellings. Under our new rates, known as Book 4 California the minimum charge for dwellings Is re- duced to 75 cents per hundred, waich amounts to a reduction of $2.50 per thousand on this one item alone. Many mercantile risks are reduced in amounts varying according to the nature and hazard of the business. The charges for exposure to other buildings has also been lowered. With out a recitation of details and com parison it is impossible to explain the many benefits resulting from our new schedule which cuts insurance costs in most cases by 10 per cent to 70 per cent.
 Of course. in the cougested business section of the city many rates are un- changed and will probable remain so until fre-proof building or two are erected or else fre-resisting walls constructed. Fire-wauS are the most

 The new rates are a decided com, pliment to Stewards fire department, fire equipment and water supply and, which is even greater, they substanti- ally express the confidence which the great Fire Insurance Companies have in the future of Seward, for no town that is declining or even at a stand still would be favored with a reduced schedule of fire insurance rates.
