Lower insurance Rates?
ChIckasha fire insurance rates will
be reduced seven percent, if
The idle pump recently removed
from the city water plant because of
o scarcity of space is reinstalled and
placed In operation:
An additional fire station and
equipment is placed in the south
west part of the city, and an ap-
proved fire alarm system is installed.
This was the substance OF a mes
sage delivered to the council las'
night by J. A. Atkison, representing
the rating bureau of the Oklahoma
Fire Underwriters association. Under
the direction of Mr.. Atkinson, repre-
sentatives of the rating bureau have
just completed survey here with
the hope of determining whether fire
insurance rates should be changed.
The probability of lower insurance
rates hinges on these improvements,
Mr.. Atkinson declared. Figures
showing tha tthe possible reduction
of seven percent would decrease the
city's fire insurance premiums ap-
proximately $6S,000 during the next
four years.
On invitation by the mayor and
ouncil, Mr.. Atkinson agreed to make
this report in writing at the next
meeting of the council to be held
March ..
That bond issue of approximate
ly $4,000 would be necessary to
make the improvements recommend
ed by the rating bureau, was the be-
lief expressed by the city fathers.
No definite official action on the
proposition will be taken until after
a report has been received in writ
ing, it was agreed.
