LAW REVOLUTIONIZES !.
FIRE INSURANCE WORK

ST. Louis, April Working con-
ditions in the fire insurance business
throughout the State of Missouri
have been revolutionized for the bet
ter, with the enforcement of the new
insurance laws passd by the State
Legislature last year. Statistics
gathered after an investigation Of
the laws results show that the cut
ting of prices because of cut-throat
competition is virtually completely
at an end, and the new custom of
giving reduction in rates to prop
erty owners who make improvements
which effect reduction in the fire
hazard is doing much to reduce the
fire loss in Missouri.
