Scores Of private citizens and mer-
chants do not give the time to study
properly the various systems OF nre
insurance and Just what their protec-
ton Is under the policy they hold. one
Of the attachments to a contract Whlcn
merchants fail to study properly Is the
80 per cent clause.
The Washington Board OF Trade mas
published the following article with
the hope of fully explaining the
clause:
Every year there are fire losses IN
which the assured loses, even though
he ts insured for an amount many
times greater than the amount OK the
loss.
why should this be the case?
.'The answer is that the 80 per cent
reduced rate average clause is attached
TO the policies and either the insur-
ance agent did not explain the opera
tion of the clause to his client, or else
the assured did not pay close enough
attention to the explanation, or was
willing TO take the chance and save
premium.
Nearly every policy on mercantile
risks. both building and stock. has
what is known as the 80 per cent re-
duced rate average clause attached 10

of the Underwriters Association OF

clause on your policy. II you want
the 80 per cent reduced rate average
clause left off of your insurance policy
or policies you are charged Is per
cent higher rate than the one given
on the underwriters card. If you pay
the 25 per cent higher rate, you get
TIE full amount of your loss, as deter
mined at the time OF the fire. UP to the

total amount of insurance you are
carrying.
IF, on the other hand, you take adj
vantage of the lower rate. as quoted on
the underwriters card, the so per cent
reduced rate average clause is attached
to your policies. This means that you
are agreeing to insure your buildings
or stock for an amount equal to at
least 80 per cent of the total value of
said buildings or stock, the company
giving you a lower rate of premium in
return for the volume Of insurance
you are carrying or agreeing to carry.
From every angle 1t pays to be
fully protected in amount as we'll as
coverage. The companies encourage
the insuring of all property . for
amounts from 80 to 100 per cent OF the
value. as in cases Of small policies, for
relatively small percentage of the
value, the insurance company is placed
at a disadvantage by reason of the
small premium paid with relation to
the increased chance the company
takes of a total loss to the company
of the full amount Of its policy.
Experience has shown that the ma
iority of losses are comparatively
small ones, although there are always
sufficient number of large losses,
even total losses, to make it desirable

APPRAISAL WORK
SHOWING BIG GAIN
Local Realtors Committee
Has Examined lib
Pieces of Land.

One Of the interesting features of
the Washington Real Estate Board s
annual meeting held at Wardman
Park Hotel last Monday night was
the report of the appraisal commit
tee, submitted by Horace G. Smithy
chairman of that body. During the
last 10 years the committee has ap-
praised more than forty-five million
dollars worth Of property.
This activity has been the result Of a
tremendous amount of work on the
part of the various committees. par
ucularly those in the past five years.
It was said lib individual pieces of
land have been appraised by this
committee
A tremendous growth in this ac-
tivity is indicated in the fact that in
1916 the appraisal committee ex-
amined 10 pieces Of property at a
value of $471 900. and in 1918 1877
pieces Of property with a value of
more than $2,000,000. In 1925 more
than $9,000,000 worth Of property was
appraised. and in 1926 all records
we're broken, when s10,376.98 worth
OF property was appraised by the
board. A great amount of property
was examined for public and Chari-
table institutions and the Federal
Government free of charge by this
committee. The newly elected COM
mittee is composed of II. Clifford

policy. when the amount Of insurance
is not equal to 80 per cent of the full
value of your property. is when you
have loss of from 80 per cent to 100
per cent of the property value. The
ratio in this case permits you to col
lect the full face value Of your policy
or policies despite the fact that the
80 per cent reduced rate average
clause Is attached.
Aside from the economic waste. Ii
is important therefore to eliminate hre
losses as far as possible to prevent
the rates from going up; on the other
hand. if possible, to have them re-
duced The records show that our vol
ume of national fire losses has been
steadily increasing, which has brought
into being the national observance or
Fire Prevention week.
Care should be observed at all
times by using every means to pre-
vent fires, but it is especially essential
from your standpoint that care should
be observed in properly protecting
your stock and buildings with suffi-
cient insurance, especially if the 80
per cent reduced rate average clause
is attached to your policy, so that If
YOU have a loss you will receive the
full amount Of it from the insurance
companies. This is especially 1mpor-

himself by carrying approximately 100
per cent insurance. 1t becomes evil
dent that the insurance company must
protect itself under the country wide
loss experience in the various classes
Of risks by getting a higher rate Of
premium for the policy of small
amount where the value of the prop
erty insured Is relatively large, If the
company always takes the first chance
of loss
The company says: If you will in
sure your property for at least 80 per
cent of it's value, we will give you the
lower rate, but if the amount of insur-
ance you carry is not at least equal to
80 per cent of the value of your prop
erty at the time of loss, then you be-
come co-insurer for the amount Of the
deficit.
IF you have $4,000 in stock and
you actually carry $4,000 insurance
you would receive the full amount of
any loss up to the amount of your
$8, 900 policy, as the clause says that
you receive that proportion of the loss
that the amount of insurance bears to
80 per cent OF the value of the prop
erty insured. In other words, $4,000
insurance is eight -eighths Of $4,000 or
80 per cent OF the value. If the loss
is $1,000 you receive eight-eighths of
it, or $1,000.
Suppose in this same case you car
ried only $1,000 insurance, or five
eighths of $4,000 $50 per cent of the
value), you would receive only five
eighths of the 81 900 loss. or $625. and
would become co-insurer under the
terms of the clause for the amount
of the deficit" (of $4,000 in the total
amount of insurance you were agree
ing to carry under the low rate charged
you. You. would, therefore, be coin
surer for three-eighths of the loss and
would have to stand the loss of 1915
