W. |. STONE TALKS

The other day While driving along
in a fliyyer on west Main street
with Mark Munson, who is head of
the city planning commission and a
few other things, Mark SAID: Wal
ter, will those non board fire insur-
ance companies pay losses?" Nov,
Mark, like great many other good
fellows wanted to know the truth
OF the matter; SO replied that dur
ing the fifteen years that l had
been writing in the non-obard COM
panies, no legitimate loss went un-
paid. This seemed to surprise Mark,
but it was raining and he had 10
hurry on. If time had permitted I
should have told him how / had
written non-board insurance for so
many years in a quiet sort OF way
under cover.
The board companies put up with
This method OF bootlegging non
board insurance until a while ago
they got real busy and brought suit
for divorce and forced separate
maintenance. That meant that you
had TO write all board or board.
Because the state insurance COM
missioner wrote me a letter once
saying that, belonging TO the board
didn't mean that they would pay
the looses any sooner, l got to
thinking OF lot of people with high
taxes and things TO meet, who
would have no place to go for re-
Lief from high insurance rates, so
quit bootlegging the stuff and
came out into the open so it would
be legal and all that. If somebody
didn't do this, there being no conf
petition. and rates going up, with
these. hard times, somebody's kid
dies might want for milk or some
other necessity. Yours with nothing
