TO GET
INSURANCE GUT
City Attorney Takes Matter
Up With State Dept. Due
to Reservoir

In view of the fact that the water
supply of the city has been greatly
improved by the building of the
reservoir, City Attorney Leo Gold
berger is now taking up the matter
of having the fire insurance rate III
this city reduced. Application has
been made to the schedule rating Of
flee of the State Department of In
surance in the city of Newark e
have a new survey of the water s,s,
tenn and a new report made. which
will probably result in a reduction
Of rates on both residences and mer-
camille establishments.
The last insurance survey was
made in 1914 during the term OF
Mayor Ferd Garretson. at which
time the National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters committee on fire preven-
ton made the following report:
1.-The supply of water has proven
adequate in the past, but IL the
present high consumption continues
it is doubtful If 1t would meet the
the time of heavy consumption dur
ing a very dry period. The force
mains are taxed to nearly their full
capacity during times of heavy con-
sumption, leaving a very small mar
gin for fire protection"
Mr.. Goldberger in making the ap-
plication for a new survey believes
that the fire hazard claimed in the
last survey does not exist at the
present time, due to the new reser-
voir system which gives the city a
large supply of water on hand at all
times. Should a break in the mains.
under the river cut the supply of
water off, Mr. Goldberger points out
that the city would be able to have
sufficient water to take care of its
needs until the mains could be re-
paired. The fact that the fire ap-
paratus Of the city is now motorized
will also play an important part in
bringing about a reduction in the
rate Of insurance, declared the city
attorney.
At the present time this city is
placed in Class r, which means thai
the rate per 800 on residence nsur-
ance is about nineteen cents per
year. 1t is hoped that after the
survey and report the city will be
placed in Glass d, the same as Eliz-
abeth, and be given a rate which Il
several cents cheaper than that at
present.
