SAYS WASHINGTON
IS UNDER|NSURED
Head of Board Of Trade
.
Points Out Danger Under
New Valuations.

Washington. particularly dwelling
house Washington. is from &C to so
per cent underinsured. The situation,
according to Walter a. Brown, presi-
dent of the Board of Trade. is serious.
Most of the insurance carried is on
the basis of values as they existed IN
pre-war times, and few property own
ers have seen the wisdom of increas-
ing their fire insurance as the value
of their property w@s augmented, Mr..
Brown stated yesterday.
An example of this is cited in the
experience of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company. which
recently lost a number of cars and a
valuable barn by fire. These were in
sured up to so per cent of the value
of the property when the fire risk on
it was underwritten But when the
fire occurred. it was found that 4 {
insurance money would provide only
40 per cent of the cost of replacing g
the property.
Other owners of property have had
similar experiences, and such experiences
have been especially hard on persons
who are buying property on the Install
ment plan, Mf. Brown pointed out.
Take a property WHICH before the
war was worth $4,000, but would now
cost $4,000 to replace were it destroyed
by fire." said Mr.. Brown. There are
many cases of this kind in Washington.
But the owners continue to carry in
surance to the extent of so per cent of
the old value instead of increasing it to
so per cent of the new.
what would be the consequence to
such an owner in case of fire? He
would find that instead of obtaining
80 per cent of the value he would be
forced to be satisfied with As or So
per cent. This would be great loss
and probably. if he were a borrower
would ruin him.
The lender of money is usually
satisfied if the borrower protects his
property with insurance sufficient to
cover his note. He is not interested
beyond that. Business property
especially should be insured to 80 pei
cent of it's value. and yet there arc
lots of men in this city who are carry
ing insurance which would not amour,
to more than As or-50 per cent. They
are listing their property at the high.
er prevailing values, but are carrying
insurance on it according to old stand
ards of value
Samuel J. Prescott, who recentl,
| was appointed by the board of Dis
trict Commissioners as head of Z
committee to stabilize District build
ing, called Mr.. Browns attention tc
| the matter. Mr.. Prescott. in a letter
to Mr.. Brown, suggested that the at.
| tenion OF all property owners should
be called to the need of increasine
their insurance to correspond with
new values. Mr.. Brown said he woulo
present the matter to the Board OF
Trade.
