Reduction Said to Have Resulted But Cost on Some Buildings Is Ad- vanced.
Rate on City Hall Sky rockets From .63 to S1.5S Per SlOO-Blanket Policy on Schools Is Dead.

Ire insurance ratings on a ma jority of the buildings in this city went into effect at noon today. the changes being those evolved under ian analytical plan which has been in process of preparation for nearI, two years.
 Considerable of an increase has been brought about in some build lngs while reductions are made in others. It is sad that a reduction has been effected in the aggregate.
 Every building in the city las been surveyed with reference 10 its hre resistance, proximity to fire lighting facilities. etc. Calculated entirely on merit system, it is possible for property owners to low Ter the rates by bringing about sug- g"sted Improvements in their pro- perties. it is claimed.
 The analytical system is worked up from q basic charge fixed on the city's rating by the fire underw riters. New Britain has been included in the Class cities which is consid- cred a very good one. Buildings which are sound structurally and are fire resistant are rated lowest, other ratings being in direct propor- ton to the fire hazard.
 City Hall Rate Increased
 One of the greatest increases is on city hall where the rate has been Jumped from 63 cents per s1oo to sl.5s per s1oQ. Contents of the building hereafter will be rated at s2 instead of sl.ol, the old rate. The Burritt hotel is increased from % cents to 24 cents. Further up in the business district of West Main street a reduction is brought about. The blanket policy under which school buildings are insured went out of effect this noon when the new set of rates applied. It will he possible, however. to get a new blanket rating, but new valuations for each building must be given on the merit plan and the rating made accordingly.
 Reduction on Schools
 The Washington school was in creased from 2l to 3l cents; the Roosevelt reduced from 40 to q cents and Central Junior High school from 45 to 35 cents. Rates on other buildings have also shift ed, but in a last analysis it is be- lieved reduction will be found.

 Dr. Pitt also took occasion 10 de- plore the practice, among clergy men, Of indiscriminate performance of marriage ceremonies for couples of whom they know nothing.
