Reduction in Insurance Rates.

Chairman Ruby Laffoon and n. o.
Gray, of the state insurance rating
board, which is in session here, stated
that the new fire insurance rates for
the city of Louisville, compiled by the
Kentucky actuarial bureau under their
supervision, which will be promul-
gated in a few days, will show an aver
age reduction of 80 per cent in dwell
ing rates. Premiums on residence
property in Louisville aggregate $780,
600 annually, and the saving to in
surers will amount to more than $780,
600 annually. These rates date back
to May l, and insurers are entitled to
rebates from that date. Chairman Laf-
foOn said hundreds of reductions in
rates over the state continue to be
shown under the schedule agreed upon,
while the department is constantly
notifying property owners of hazards.
for which they are paying in high rates
and which can be removed at a trifing
expense.

saIIr0ads compete tor RIeh prIze.

A parallel and evidently competitive
race for the possession of rich coal
bearing territory in Eastern Kentucky
as a prize. has started between the
Baltimore & Ohio and Louisville &
Nashville railroads in Knott and Letch-
er counties, as evidenced in significant
moves which the two roads have made
in that section within the last few
weeks. The Baltimore & Ohio Co,
which at present had no mileage in
Letcher county, has filed at Whites
burg, the county seat of that county,
mortgage for five million dollars
representing money to be borrowed
for the purpose of extending its lines
into Kentucky from West Virginia
through Letcher county, near its
northern boundary, following the
course of Rockhouse creek. A study
of relief map of Kentucky shows that
the boundary between Letcher and
Knott counties is along a compare
lively straight ridge of mountains,
which are rich in coal. The constTUc-
tion involved in reaching this terri
tory is approximately % miles and will
put the Baltimore & Ohio into the ter
ritory now served exclusively by the
Louisville G Nashville system. Sim
ultaneous with the filing of the Balti-
more & Ohio mortgage in Letcher
county, it is learned that the Louis
vile & Nashville Immediately placed
its engineers in the field and these are
now locating rights of way for a rail
road spur on the north side of the
Knott-Letcher boundary from the vi
cinity of Hazard, eastward. Thus the
surveys of the Louisville & Nashville
and the proposed extension of the Bal
timore & Ohio are running parallel
within four or five miles of each other
although separated by the ridge that
forms the boundaries of the counties.
1t is seen that the Baltimore & Ohio
system is aiming to reach the heart Of
the Eastern Kentucky coal mining ter
ritory, and at a time when the mar
keting of securities for extension work
is supposed to be unfavorable.
