Insurance Coniianes Demand Re
wiring and Increase Rates Unlew
Tlielr Requests Are Granted Few
Rewired Before Advance Oocnrrctf
Tardy Owners Will Re Given Re
bates Wlien Electric Wires Are
Safeguarded.
Insurance rates for the buslne-
sictlon of Pendleton have bfen ad
vanced from 13 to 30 per cent and
the new terms are now in force for'
practically the entire town. As a re
sult Insurance Is now costing mer
chants and property owners about 21
per cent more than In the past.
Some months ago It was announc
ed by the insurance companies that
rates would be advanced unless build
ings were rewired. This caused many
owners to contract for the rewiring of
their premises and J. L. Vaughan ha
had a force of electricians working
constantly for some time past. How
ever, It has been impossible for htm
tu cover the entire town before th
new rates went Into effect.
For many local policies the new
rates went Into effect July 23 and
August 14. But a few days ago no
tices were received here giving the
advance on much other property.
Some Idea of the advance that ha
been made In Insurance rates may be '
had from the following concrete '
cases:
Odd Fellows' building, corner Main
and Alta streets. The former rata
on the building was 126, the new rats
160. The former rate on the content
of the lower floor was 162. The new
rate Is 190. The former rate on ths
lodge hall was 132 and the new rate
Is 165.
The Matlock-Brownfield building.
The former rate on the building was
218 and the new rate is 256. The
old rate on the contents was 224,
and. the new rate Is 267.
In some cases where buildings have -been
rewired the insurance has been
reduced. This Is true of the Bow
man hotel, for which the building
rate has been reduced from 224 to
207 and the rate on the contents from
229 to 215. However, other things
also Influenced the reduction of rates
in this case.
It was announced by the Insurance
men that in cases where owners re
wire premises after paying their in
surance premiums at the Increased
rates a rebate will be made.
