i EWINSURANCE
Law EXPENSIVE
FOR THE CITY
Promises to Make Large In
creases in Amount Paid
Out in Premiums.

Application, OF the new insurance
law to public buildings owned by the
city Of Grand Forks promises to in
crease the expenses of the city by
several thousand dollars annually If g
letter received today by City Auditor
W. H. Alexander regarding the insur-
ance of the city filtration plant is to be
taken as a criterion.
As the filter plant is built of brick,
is nearly full of water and projects
only a few feet above the level of the
street. the city officials have always
felt that the paying of fire or tornado
insurance premiums on it was a
waste of money.
According to the letter from the
state insurance department, however,
the building is to be insured against
both fire and tornadoes for $4,000.
The annual premium for this insur-
ance will be $69S.40, the rate per
$1,000 thus being a trif1e over $12.49.
Other, Buildings.
On most of the othe. city buildings
the present insurance does not run out
for several months. When it becomes
necessary to enc it, however, it
must be done through the state in
department.
If the action of the state insurance
department regarding the filtration
plant is to be taken as a fair sample,
the amount to be paid by the city in
premiums will be at least 1886, the
valuation of the buildings and con-
tents being $27S,444.
At present the premiums amount to
less than ST. 900 per year, as in MANY
cases it is not thought necessary to
insure the structures at their full
valuation.
Moreover, as it is fair to assume
that the rate on the filter plant will
be the lowest on any of the city build
ings, as the fire risk is obviously
smallest there. 1t would seem appar-
ent, therefore, that the total amount
to be paid annually in insurance pre-
miums by the city will be greatly in

All the Truth or Nothing
TFrom the Pennsylvania Farmer

,IFrom the Pennsylvania Farmerl
There is nothing that does more
To establish and maintain a false
idea in the minds of city consumers
concerning farm returns than the
reports issued by the National De-
partment of Agriculture. From the
last one, the city press features in
big head lines the information that
"Farm Output Value Jumps 12O
Per Cent" And in the past, the
Department persists in comparing
the prices of farm products with
those received in 1914 without a
word concerning the comparative
cost of production. Who ever saw
a financial statement issued by a
bank. railroad company, or a manu-
featuring concern in which nothing
was given but an estimate of the
gross receipts? Besides being OF no
value such statements do positive
injury to the business of farming by
the creation of a false impression
in the public mind. One favorite
pastime with the Department is
showing the comparative purchas-
ing power of an acre of crops now
with that of 1914, or earlier. The
real farmer laughs at such figures
There are two things the Depart
ment should stop doing: putting out
long-range forecasts of yields, and
publishing the estimated gross value
of farm products. What the public
should have is, "The TRUTH the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth"
