 of Boy Injured in Fall on Icy Stairway

Attorneys for plaintiff and de- fendants in the $2,50O suit of George McGrath, a minor, against the Waterbury Savings Bank were today preparing briefs for presenta- ton to Judge Miles McNiff of com mon pleas court.

BLIHAE.T POLICIES
ARE BARRED: Each
BUILDING SEPARATE
Compulsory State Fire Insur-
ancc Shows No Savings
TO Taxpayers

Helena-Eyery schoolhouse and ev-
cry courthouse in Montana is insured
separately, along with the contents of
each, fer 100% Of the valuation This
is the result Of supreme court deci-
sion regarding the method Of fixing the
insurance rate for the compulsory state
fire insurance law, as explained in a
recent opinion Of the attorney general.
Under the old method, where com
peilng agents solicited the business
ricl-s were limited in most instances
to fire and lightning. Each agent tried
TO point cut saving, one excluding
the foundation another the excavation
and third pointing out the useless
ness OF insuring property below the
grede level
According to the attorney generals
opinion, to which all school trustees
and county commissioners must adhere
these buildings must be insured against
fire, lightning flood and water dam
age, tornado, Windstorm. cyclone, hail
and explosion Earthquake insurance is
optional
To fix the rate, the usual prevailing
rate heretofore obtained from private
companies is used. To that is added
tiIe COSt VI edcn Ol tne additional haZ-
ards, which are compulsory Each Of
these additional costs are those orig
.noiiy fixed by the Board of Fire I'm
delw--ters. Then comes the cost Of the
exceptions, and those provisions US
TALLY eliminated, but now required
unCer the present law. This total rate
S then 'adjusted' to be equivalent to
loO Per cent protection, as fixed BY the
underwriters
Thus each school house and court
house must ee insured separately. the
state receiving no saving from insuring
I'll state, c0.1ty and school district
property as a group.
