STATE PROPERTY IS

POSSIBLE FIRE LOSS
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 9.-As fast
as the policies expire or are cancelled
aid state property is being insured
against fire loss by the State of Flor
ida, in accordance with a bill which
passed the last session of the legisla-
ture, and was approved by the gov
etrnor. Already large per cent of
the building property of the state of
Florida is insured by policies carried
by the state, number of the insur-
ance companies taking offense at the
passage of the bill and offering to
cancel their policies. These offers
were readily accepted by the state. ac-
cocdjpg te State Insurance Commits
sioner John c. Luning, the state
treasurer, who drew the bill.
The new law provides that when
ever g policy elapses, that the board
of state institutions of Florida shall
insure the property at the same rate
as existed with the private insurance
company, until the fund derived from
these premiums shall aggregate fifty
thousand dollars. In case of fire loss
before the insurance fund thus crea-
ted has reached sufficient size to pay
the loss, the damage shall be paid out
of the general fund. The state in
surance commissioner points out that
many railroads and other large COR
porations are now carrying their own
insurance with a great saving. He
says that the state of Minnesota pass
ed similar law in 1913 and already
has saved $195, $3.50, according to
the annual report this year of the in
surance commissioner OF that state.
In an effort to have the last legis-
lature pass the bill Mr.. Luning pro-
duced figures showing the amount in
premiums paid out by the state on fire
insurance and the amount received
from fire losses for the past ten years
from 1907 to 1916 inclusive. These
figures showed the state paid out for
insurance in that time $113, 574.37,
but received on account of fire losses
only $31, 543.36. During that time, |
the state suffered fires at the Univer- |
sity of Florida, the hospital for the |
insane, the State College for Women,
the A. & M. College, bad fire at the |
Florida Industrial school for Boys at |
Mariana Tin which several lives |
were lost) and a small damage to the |
supreme court building here. |
Mr.. Luning is satisfied that the new |
law will result in tremendous saw
ing for the state in the course of ten |
years, and he is promptly insuring |
all state property with the state of |
Florida as the old policies with pri- |
vate companies expire
