Fire Underwriters
 Rate Alaskan Towns

"Alaskans are making improve ments in fire fighting methods, are keeping abreast of new devel- opments, are making good progress in fire prevention techniques, and the cities are. conscious of their basic fire protection needs" These remarks were recently made by E. c. Adams, District Engineer of the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific, who was making survey trip with Fred E. Kaiser to review changes or plans in the field of municipal fire protection. In an interview at the League office, MT. Adams reviewed the basic proceed ure followed in classifying cities for insurance purposes.
 Communities are graded on the basis of the following "underwrit- CTS rating schedule:
 170O points; water supply facil- ities, adequacy. reliability.
 1500 points; fire department, man power, equipment, training, discipline, morale, overall effec- iency.
 $50 points; fire alarm facilities, including automatic systems, tele- phone and other public communi- cation facilities.
 50 points; police - cooperation with fire department and building office.
 200 points; building code and enforcement.
 300 points; fire prevention or. dinances and their enforcement
 TOO points; structural conditions, analysis of all buildings in princi- pal commercial district.
 The above enumeration amounts to total of 5000 deficiency points. For every 500 point decrease, the rating of the community decreases one class. There are 10 classes, decreasing from class 10, which means that a community is unpro- tected, to class one, the highest rating that community can re- ceive. There. are no class 1 con- munities in the/west coast states, although there are some 2s. The average small community falls within classes to 6.
 The following is a list of the current National Board of Fire Underwriters rating of Alaskan cities:
 NIB Rating 8: Valdez, Seldovia. NIB Rating z: Palmer, Nome, Fair. banks.
 NIB Rating 6: Sitka, Seward, Kodiak, Juneau Cordoya.
 NIB Rating 5: Ketchikan, Anch. orage.
 The above rating determines the fire insurance rates charged with. in particular community. Every organized community with a fire department and water supply is rated by the underwriters board.
 Areas annexed to a municipality are treated as individual units,

Board of Experts Give Quickway OK.

A special meeting of the City Council was held last week on Wednesday, November F at which time the report of six experts in the heavy equipment field was read They had been asked by the Council at the City Managers request. to inspect the Quickway Crane, recently purchased by the City. The crane has been the center of controversy for some time and it was hoped by the Council and City Manager to final ly dispose of the problem by ob- taining report from team of experts.
 The first report was from Jim

MT. Kaiser. Any deficiencies in the annexation area should be cleaned up within one year after such regarding so as not to affect the general class of the community.
 The procedure followed by the Board of Fire Underwriters bene- fits an annexation area by giving 1t an immsdiate rate decrease while not penalizing the annexing city for lack of services in any new area.
Seward seaport record., 1954-12-03

[ according to MT. Adams. The rating in such an area is dropped immediately upon the provision by the city of information regarding available services. An annexed area does not necessarily fall in the same class as the rest of the city.
 The tentative class of an annex ation area remains until after a complete regarding such as is being carried on by Mir. Adams and
