mercial Club Reduction Will
Average About 30 Per
Cent.
Through the efforts of the Commer
cial Club there baa been a general re
duction In the rate of fire Insurance
mule In this city, which will effect
a aavlng of about $10,000 per annum
to tbe business men. New rate books
were received here today by the In
surance agents from the Underwrlt
era Equitable Rating Bureau of Port
land and the riew rate will be put In
to force at once. The owners of
property who have Insurance In force
will be entitled to a rebate on a por
tion of the premium, although It Is
suggested to the agent by the rat
Ing bureau that no rebate be given on
Insurance written previous to August
1, 1909.
The basic rate on dwellings has not
ben changed. In September, 1908
the base rate on dwellings was re
duced from 75 per cent, to 49 per
cent, where It is likely to remain for
a while. This applies to Class D. un
der which head nearly all of the dwell
IngR In the city are placed.
The reduction on business property
Is about 30 per cent.. In some cases
a little more, and in other Instances
falling below that estimate. The rate
on the Masonic building 120. against
the old rate of 151. The Cliff House
has been reduced from 425 to 300,
the Water Commission pumping sta
tion from 1C0 to -50, Wilson's livery

Building, 137 to 105, Welnhard build
ing from 219 to 143, and other risks
In proportion. Corresponding reauc
tlons have been made on the rates
on the contents of business buildings.
About two months ago President
Ryan, of the Commercial Club, ap
pointed a committee to endeavor to
secure a general reduction In toe
rates of fire Insurance. L. Adams waa
named as chairman and he Immedi
ately went to Portland for a confer

bureau, with the result that a survey
