The increase in insurance rates alone would finance f waterworks in. any town. I f the vil­ lage was owned by the Pennsylvania 1 railroad company or some other great corporation about the first thing done would be t o .provide fire protection to he able to get the lowest rate possible fon insurance. In 'comparing property insurance rates in town we are surprised to note that the Hagar Straw Board & Paper Company has one o f the lowest rates listed, many times less than that on the average frame dwelling. The rea­ son is obvious for the company has Iinvested many thousand dollars in providing its own fire protection, with [a private water system and large storage tanks in addition to electric pumps o f great capacity in fireproof buildings outside the plant.. ’ Mean time this company gets one o f. the lowest rates of insurance listed while the average home owner is paying out ian unusually high rate and yet has no After harvesting 700 acres o f oats more protection from the view point on the Houston land near South o f insurance companies, than towns Charleston, W, A.

In looking over the rates fo r public buildings we find there has been radi­ cal increases. For the Baptist church the old rate was $6.70 per thousand and the new $9,80. The A. M. E. church was increased from ,75 to $1.08. The First Presbyterian from $3.40 to $5.20. The United Presby­ terian church from $3.60 to. $4.60. The M, E .Church from $5.20 to $5.50, We have not gone far into investi­ gation on residence property but dis­ cover the Anna Miller Towrtsley resi­ dence on Main street has been in­ creased from $1.00 the old rafe to $1.97 the new rate. The adjoining property owned by Wm. Finney has been increased from ,$1,72 to $2.02. Down town the Bird building had been listed at $6.40 but the new rate is $8,40. The Evans hotel and restaurant from $7.80 to. $9,20. All insurance rates quoted are fo r one year only. . The more the insurance rates are ' investigated the more convinced prop- : erty owners as well as renters will be convinced that some action should- be taken at once to get lower rates for insurance here. It is something no one escapes. It is either paid direct if the property is occupied by the owner or reflected in rents to the tehant. Meantime we continue to send our money for insurance out o f town. With a waterworks plant: this brings a lower rate and money is left at home. ; We have made few compari- , sons with residence as well as busi­ ness property here with similar prop­ erty in Yellow Springs. Property of equal structure and about the same exposure. .Yellow Springs,, that once had. high rates now is paying much less. In comparing we find Ydllow Springs property' in some cases is fifty per cent under similar property here. the party will also try out numerous golf courses along the route traversed. jeet te a mortgage, has been confirm-jciar, mercantile and agricultural or- along with a band coneert. ed by the court in the case o f Olive E .!ganizations o f the state.
