REPORT OF THE PATRONS FIRE
INSURANCE CO.

We submit the following report for
the year ending January II, 1916:
Total insurance in force, S24O, 562 Oh
Received premiums to date, COL. 80
Paid out for printing post
age and mileage and pay
of officers (all officers are
paid $500 per day. lSS 70
Ralance in treasury. 4l2 &C
We have had no fire losses.
The Patrons Cooperative Fire In
surance company was organized June
IA, 1915, under act No. l59 of the Yer
mont Laws of 1915.
Its purpose is to carry the insurance
of Vermont Farmers who are members
of the Grange on their property against
fire and lightning. The charter limits
the company to members of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry and in terri
tory to Addison, Bennington, Chitten-
den, Franklin, Grand Isle and Rutland
counties in Vermont.
The company is not run for profit
but endeavors to give insurance at
cost, and is strictly Mutual, all of
the members contributing their proper
tionate share toward paying the losses
and expenses of management. The
company has comparatively few risks
in towns, the rules are so made that there
will probably never be very heavy
line of insurance punched in towns, the
idea being to keep our risks scattered
so that there will be only one loss at a
time, and that no conhagration can
sweep us out of existence.
Properly rodded buildings are prac-
tically proof from lightning. We adj
wise the purchase of chemical fire eX-
tinguishers. As we do not advertise,
we depend on the patrons to induce
every other Granger to cancel his old
policy and unite with us. He can well
afford to do so, as the average cost of
Grange fire insurance is only about
$500 per thousand per year, or about
one-half what it is costing through the
other companies who are taking farm
insurance here in Vermont.
Our great advantage over the old
line companies is that we reduce the
expense to a very small proportion of
the whole cost and by care in taking our
risks we reduce the normal hazard to
almost nothing.
In conclusion, we ask for the hearty
cooperation of the members in the
work and especially in examination OF
all risks carried by the company.
A. w. FooTE,
Secretary.

FIRE IN PUTNAMSVILLE.

Fire which caught while efforts were
being made to thaw out water pipes
destroyed Saturday morning dwelling
house at Putnamsville owned by the
Vermont Lumber company. The house
was occupied by H, G. Baker and
valued at about $1,000. Workmen
from the mills succeeded in saving most
of the house furnishing and a determined
effort was made to save the house from
destruction, two so gallon chemical ex-
tinguishers and many smaller ones being
used without avail.
