supply and q wide-awake and inform
ed citizenship This is not said in
justification of the Albany rate; it is
probably too high, but it is better
than Ours.
'',Ehe Southeastern Underwriters
association have written me that if
the city authorities of Americus de-
sire information that would tend to
bring the classication of the City of
Americus up to Atlanta they will adj
wise their engineering department to
have an engineer visit Anaericus and
go over the fire protction and make
such suggestions as would bring
about results. However, the object
of such a visit from the standpoint
of the citizens of AmericHs, would
be to lower the present rates, and
not as heretofore, to raise them.
Some years ago after an expenditure
of $1,000 or more, the net result
was that the rates were raised. The
rates on fire insurance in Americus
have not been revised in more than
four years.
s'After a casual examination, the
engineer from the underwriters as
sociation will probably explain away
the high rates in Americus, but re-
garaless of who is right or who is
wrong in the argument the net result
Of the next revision of rates here
should be lower rates. If the pres
ent tariff calls for lower rates under
certain conditions let us know what
those conditions are"

Chief Macarthur in his report

as possible the city motors
ize the two-horse hose wagon that
we now have in reserve. In the
event that this is done, could leave
one man at the station when we
were answering an alarm, and in

time he could with little assistance,
hold the second fire in check until

NEWBERRY SWEEPINGLY PLEADS INNOCENCE
ALBANY'S FIRE INSURANCE
RATE 12c UNDER .AMERICUS
Major Fort Points Out One Reason Why 1t is
Larger-Underwriter Ready To Send
Engineer Here

The Southeastern Underwriters
association is willing to send an en-
gineer to Americas to go over the
city's fire protection and point out
how Amerieus can be put in Atlanta's
rate classification, it has written
Major James A. Fort, who opened
agitation for lower insurance rates
here in letter to the mayor and
city council last week.
Major Fort points out that Ameri-
Gus pays basis rate on dwellings, of
81 cents against rs cents. in Albany
and suggests that this is one of the
reasons why Albany, younger city,
is larger. In an interview, he says:
"Has Albany a better fire depart
ment and water supply than Ameri-
Gus? Anyway Albany enjoys a basis
fire insurance rate on dwellings of
75c, while Americus has the privilege
of payinb Ste.
"This is one of the reasons why AL
bany has 1855 population while
Americus has 9,010. Sumter county
was laid out in 1851, and Dougherty
county in 1853, but it is easy to see
the difference in progress made.
"a high or low insurance late is
an index of conditions in city. To
stranger hesitating between AL
bany and Americus, the lower fire
insurance rate in Albany would
would probably cause him to buy
property there, other things being
equal. A low rate indicates an effic-
lent fire department, ample water
