FIRE RISK AGENT
ANSWERS CRITICS
Rates Here Are High Be-
cause Business Is Small,
Senate Group Hears.

A ifference of opinion between v. G.
Croissant of the Bureau of Efficiency
and f. r. Brashears of the District In
surance C.Ib over the reasonableness of
fire insurance rates in Washington
cropped out at the hearing before a
Senate subcommittee today on the new
local insurance code, which recently
passed the House.
Mr. Croissant testified that for each
dollar premium paid in the District, 38
cents is returned In losses. while for the
United States generally for each dollar
of premium paid. 56 cents is returned in
losses. II, argued that the question of
whether rates here are lower than else
where lis beside the point" He took
the view that rates should be lower
because the amount paid back Is less
than in other places.
Says Business Is Small.
Answering. Mr.. Brashears declared 1t
Is more costly to carry on the fire in
Surance business here, principally be-
cause Washington has very few fac
tories or large commercial risks. 1t is
more costly he said to conduct an office
on premiums of from 50 to S5 than
where they run in large amounts. MIR
Brashears pointed out that in places
where insurance Is written on factories
a low commission pays better than
high commission in a city where the
, risk Is low.
He estimated that in a city like
Baltimore about so per cent of the
premiums come from hazardous sources
whereas in Washington the large
hazardous business Is only about 10
per cent.
las your loss rate goes down. and
premiums with 1t. the margin between
premiums and losses grows wider" Mr.
BraShears said. He declared the
Bureau of Efficiency has failed to take
note OF the type of business done here
and the cost Of doing it.
Mr.. Brashears said rates In Washing
ton are reasonable and gave figures to
support his contention
Opposes House Bill.
He opposed the bill already passed by
the House, declaring that i'm order TO
make 1t workable numerous amend.
ments should be made He advocated

, troduced by Senator Watson, Rcpub-
lican. of Indiana.
II. p Janisch, representing mutual
fire and casualty companies, spoke in
favor of the House bill. with certain
amendments, which have been agreed
TO. He said he favored rate regulation
by public officials on all except life in
surance
The House bill would give the District
superintendent of insurance rate regu-
lation power over rates other than life
insurance. The Watson substitute bill
also would give the superintendent rate
