LOWER FIRE RATES
FOR RUSK FARMERS

Rusk county pays So hundred for
three year policy of fire insurance on
farm buildings. This covers fire,
lightning. tornado and wind storms.
In this RuSk county is in class with
Sawyer, Price, and other forest coun-
ties of the upper part of the state. The
rate was $1.75 prior to Sept. 15, this
year. Barron, Chippewa, and South
rate Why the change was made by
the Insurance Commissioner, Nj. j.
Cleary, at that time is not known. The
argument is that the county is not in
the same class as a risk that Sawyer
is. and is more in the Barron county
list.
The matter of rates was called to
the attention of the Board of Direct
Ors of the Chamber of Commerce by +.
NJ Doyle, and he was authorized in
the name of the Chamber, to try and
secure a return to the old schedule.
The matter is now under advise
ment by the State Inspection Bureau
as shown by letter received on
Thursday morning from VIM. Kubasta
of Merrill Deputy Insurance Commits
sioner Mr.. Kubasta says he is Op
posed to the differential against Rusk
county and has recommended that the
rate. be returned to the old one.
