FIRE DEPARTMENT
BRINGS REDUCTION
IN INSURANCE RATES
Continued from page I

1t should be understood that these
penalties applied only to the business
section, and not generally 10 the resi-
DENTAL sections. The underwriters
have announced that on all policies
written since July IL. 1921. where
these penalty charges were included
In the rate, there would be rcbated, as
of February 2. 1922, the pro-rata por-
ton of the eight-cent penalty removed
through the efficient work OF the De-
partment OF Public Safety and the
council. This involves a tremendous
amount OF calculation and detairswork
on the part Of local insurance agents.
and 1t Is the desire OF the COMMITTEES.
that all persons affected by this re-
ducton will be as lenient as possible
with them. as il undoubtedly will re-
quire several months to work out in
dividual rebates on the thousands OF
policies affected.
The engineers OF the Board OF Fire
Underwriters. in their recent survey,
found that conditions in Wilmington
from a fire insurance viewpoint had
so vastly improved that the promised
I VI lh0 anu CODS6-
Quent reductions Of rates now was
warranted. and immediately issued
their reduction order. 1t will be re-
called that last summer the Middle
Division OF the National Board OF Fire
Underwriters assured the people of
Wilmington, that Just as soon as VIII
mington corrected its fire lighting
deficiencies their department would
automatically arrange such reduc=
tions in rates, and these officials are
to be commended upon their prompt
fulhHment OF their pledges. II has
been stated by the Board of Under
writer's for this division, that II is
truly remarkable that Wilmington has
been able to install such an efficien,
fire fighting service so quickly.
The Department of Public Safety
! and the Council had given TO the prop.
erty holders and merchants OF this
city, distinctly valuable service In
installing such an efficient paid >firC
department, and in securing thereby

that the department is ably managed
