PAGE TWO I—SECTION THREE Eastern Firemen Meet In Edenton Continued trom Page I —Section 1 *y Commissioners, Representative Albert Byrum, members of the police Department, highway pa trolmen and members of the Cho <jiran County Fire Commission, which include Joe Webb, Jr., J. G. Perry and D. H. Berryman. 1 Mr. Yates was very complimen tary of the town and county of ficials and said the Edenton fire men were proud to have such a splendid official family and were very appreciative for the coopera tion and support they have re ceived. Mr. Yates then presented Town Clerk E. J. Ward, Jr., who in turn introduced Mayor Ernest Kehayes, who delivered a warm address of welcome. Mr. Kehayes complimented all of the firemen present for the service they are rendering their community and expressed the belief that these services are very much appreci ated. At this point Town Councilmen were excused to attend their monthly meeting, but before they left Miller Warren, Plymouth fire chief, paid tribute to the Edenton firemen. He referred to firemen schools attended by local fire men, saying the firemen are now doing a better job than ever be fore and that he knows of no other fire department which has taken more interest in their de partment than Edenton. C. Wesley Howell, president of the association, presided over the business meeting, during which the firemen’s pension fund was Considered, as well as films to be used by various departments for firemen training. It was pointed out that the firemen, through the Legisla ture, asked the people to give them a pension law. The law was passed containing a require ment that the fire insurance companies pay one cent of each premium dollar collected in pro tected areas to the pension fund and further, the law provides the money by raising tbfe rates to cover the amount to be paid. By this method, the policyhold ers would pay part of the fund and the firemen would pay the balance. The vast majority of the policyholders paying fire insurance premiums since Aug ust, 1957, have paid the addi tional one per cent willingly when they understood its pur pose. Except for this one, re quirement, the existence of the firemen's pension fund law has had no direct effect on the in surance companies other than lowering their loss payments and raising their profit by as suring a more efficient fire ser vice spread over a greater area of the state than ever before. It is recognized that the col lection of the one per cent is not without some administrative cost to the companies. At the same time, it must be recogniz ed that the benefits derived by the companies far outweigh this objection for the following rea sons: The establishment of a new fire department does not auto matically mean a decrease in fire insurance rates. Almost 200 new departments have been or ganized in North Carolina in the last five years. A survey of the state shows that almost six million dollars have been contributed out of their pockets by private citizens for the pur chase of fire trucks to provide protection when none existed before. A tremendous reduction in fire loss has resulted. Approximately *14.000 firemen give 24 hours service to the peo ple of North Carolina. About 12.000 of these arc volunteers who ask no pay for their con tribution of time, personal means or lives. Replacement of this free service would cost the people 60 million dollars or more each year. This sum does not include fringe benefits, training, replacement or capital outlay for buildings. The present fire insurance rate structure is directly dependent upon the amount and quality of fire service being rendered. -If this service should be reduced in extent or efficiency, the re sultant increase in insurance rates would make its cost pro hibitive. In other words, the existence of our fire service makes it possible for almost three hundred foreign and a few domestic insurance companies to do business in North Carolina. The opinion prevailed at the meeting that the firemen have ample justification for their re quest for a pension plan. Speakers of the evening includ ed Donald L. Charles, Charlotte fire chief, president of the Inter national Association of Fire Chiefs: Curtis H. Flanagan of Farmville, secretary of the State Firemen’s Association, and Miller Warren of Plymouth, president of the Stale Firemen's Association. R 1 'wT* » ftgjV. jfii' V.
