NEW INSURANCE RATES
 GENERALLY HIGHER
Reduction In Many Cases Up to the Individual Property
 Owner
New Tariff Went Into Effect or
 Monday

Putnam fire insurance agents were furnls he'd with new tariff rates under whai IS known as the Dean System" by the New England Insurance Ex- change, Monday. While agents are not familiar with all of the details that comparison will disclose. fl Is appar- ent that the rates as a whole are ma terially higher In some instances thers is an increase Of over one hun dred per cent In others there IS decrease. while in other instances there has been no change. as m the case of Union Block. But on the whole Putnam as unit will pay much more hereafter than heretofore unless there is individual effort on the part of the property owners.
 While the fact that Putnam's water supply and corresponding water pres surs IS not all that II should be; that there are matters concerning the fire department that are criticized; and other factors of municipal concern that enter into the new insurance rate. the new tariff Is based on an analy;ical survey made year ago and n most instances Is entirely up to the individual property owner.
 NtGNEd as 1T Ire flasdFas
 In making the analysis of individual property holdings many things were taken into consideration IL fixing the new rate Some of these things were electric wiring, the attachments Of out buildings. the manner m which rubbish was stored and all features that go to create fire hazard of vary ing degree.
 In many instances suggestions were mad. by the men who made the sur vey. IL is noted that in many cases where these suggestions were carried out the rate remains the same and even. in some instances. has been sIightlv reduced When the sugges- tions for reducing the fire hazard were not followed, raise Tn insurance rates has been made.
 This leaves the lowering of the rate up to the individual property owner. In many of the instances where the rate has been increased it may be re- ,duced if the property owner will meet the demands of the insurance ex- change.
 putnam's general classification has not changed This city was in class D and remains there. However, 1t could not go any lower, as class 3 ls the lowest rating where there IS fire protection.
 To Investigate
 The common council has appointed a committee to make an investigation to see what can be done toward rate reduction. Local insurance agents, when they become more conyersant with the situation. may also be able to advIse in individual cases IS to what may be done to lower the individual rate
 In ire chief and some of our lead ing insurance agents have long sought 10 have the city adopt a building code that would assure the erecting Of bulldings in conformity to what the insurance exchange demands for a less hazardous risk and a eorrespondingly reduced rate. Apparently the present advance in rates, which will mean thous4nds of dollars more paid Tor fire insurance, has caused an awaken ing. and doubtless action Will follow to attempt to remedy the situation.

Tha, New Year. Health Resolution

That New Years Health Resolution
 Every mother is anxious to make anu keep their children healthy. At the opening of the new year this wish Is uppermost in the mind of every mother in Connecticut. The monthly Well Child conferences, many of which are now in operation Tn Con- necticut under the direction of the local community in cooperation with the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State Department of Health are the means of making this wish come true.
 At these conferences mothers bring all their children under school age to be examined by the doctors and booked on the health roll for twelve monthly visits. If the new year has ushered in new baby, mothers look forward Co that time when about the sixth month they can bring their youngest one to receive this valuable health inventory. No matter how stormy the weather, no matter how great the distance, moth CTS have learned that unless colts and other illnesses prevent. 1t IS a wise plan to bring their children to these conferences and learn the rules of health which are to be practeed in the home. In no other way can children be kept strong and healthy.
 Starting with each new year, moth CTS again resolve that one day in each month cannot be better spent for the health protection of their children. Starting with each new baby, and providing each pre-school child with the essentials for health. the founda- ton is laid for healthy career for each child Mothers may not fully appreciate the value of this in this carly period. but as children grow up into school age and then advance into adult life. they realize that the strong health foundation laid earlier has been the means of sending out into the world healthy men and wo- men.
 Start the new year right by attend ing the January monthly Well Child Conference. which will be held on Wednesday afternoon. Jan. l2, in the Emergency Hospital. from ? Co O. clock.
