FIRE INSURANCE PROBE
WAITS ON INFORMATION
Committee to Give Both Sides
Opportunity to Present Rea-
sons and Grievances.

When the fire insurance rate COM
mittve OF the Chamber of Commerce
| meets next Tuesday afternoon for or
ganization one nf ths first things that
II is expected the committee will do
will be to endemvor tc learn from the
insurance brokers or Underwriters
Association, whether the increase in
fire insurance IL arbitrarily liked on
certain sectiona or in isolated cases.
where the fire underwriters inspectors
believe the risks are greater.
When this Information is obtained.
the next step will be to summon the
individual property owners and ex-
plain the conditions Go them and learn
what they propose To do. To continue
and pay the increased rate, or az 1t is
alleged. be able TO reduce their pre-
miums by eliminating the fire risks.
The members OF the committee not
connected with any insurance business
are ignorant of the true facts, and
until the necessary information il
forthcoming from the Underwriters
Association, little progress can be
made.
one Of the details that may be in
cluded in this investigation, may be
the determination of how large a per-
contage of the fire losses of Delaware
does Wilmington incur? Information
of the amount of losses incurred here,
has not been available because the
records kept were not considered au-
thentiC. Under the new paid fire de-
partment however. such statistics will
be kept up and the losses from FIRE
here compated with other parts of the
state will be available.
