JOHN MITCHELL, Witness, 881, B., Wilmington' Street IMPORTANT REFOHT The Insurance Commitee Last Night PEOPLE THE LOSERS I REPORT PREPARED AMD PEAD BY CHAIRMAN R. C. STROWG A Valuable Doc anient at d one of Vital In terest to the Citizens of RuieiQh-Fire Insurance Costs A report of vital interest to the peo ple of -Raleigh was presented at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Inst niirht nml it U'nnlv'nrnnor tlmt ! people interested in the subjeet should be given an opportunity to hear what the committee has to say on the subject of insurance. The Times gives space to a partial re port submitted by the committee: . ... In considering whether or not a lower rate of fire insurance should be charged for Raleigh, than that now in force, your committee have, to this time, gath ered the following facts: That the highest average of losses paid by fire insurance companies in this city for 5 years, the record being that kept by the fire department of the City of Raleigh, is $6,072.72. That though the city of Raleigh is not what thvy call a stanunrd city, yet the probability of loss has been demonstrated to be ex tremely light; in fact, falling much with in the average just given of the losses paid here. According to the Universal Mercantile Schedule, generally used for the ratio of cities, the rate for Raleigh would be! 40 cents for mercantile houses. This, of course, is a basis rate. The basis rate now observed is about 75 cents forj linshiesa nlnrv I Kxierience, and the actual observation; of any citizen w ill demonstrate the fact;1 of . the efficiency or our Fire Depart-; ment." No fire may -occur, here'. of any magnitude; unless , the' lire departmeut soon has it under control, before- any r. great amount, of -damngo can be dono.j In the - class--of "merchandise which is ensily removable in case of fire, there has been no material losses. The Fire Department consists of three two horse hose wagons, one twp hors: hook nnd ,adtlcr- fonr thousand feet of' cotton rubber lined hose, eight horses, four paid drivers, four paid night, watchmen, and 00 volunteer members. ' The Ganicwell is the fire alarm system' used here.

Tl'e wa ter: company, has a 'supply' of v, au-i: that would be equal to any "cnieitI''y . tli.it could happen hero. .

In competing the amounts paid to firei insurance companies, &c, we have to gather such facts in such manner as we can, unaided by any fire insurance com pany. We gave the estimate that about $40,000 a year Is annually paid in fire insurance premiums. We have received two letters from the South Eastern Tar-, Iff Association In which they do not deny this. We have had private information that this Is about correct, it having been estmated some years ngo, that $32, 000 were received In premiums. The South : Eastern Tariff Associa tion adopted a resolution,' upon a letter that I wrote 'them, declining to grant any reduction1 In rates at Raleigh; say ing that an examination and comparison bad shown that the lowest rates in the Mate prevailed In that city. The ques tion occurs to your committee, does this comparison Include Greensboro , The argument Is advanced by some local Insurance agents, here, which we presume to be the argument of the As sociation, that In estimating a rate of insurance, no less territory than a whole State should be considered; and that In North Carolina, barely 7 per cent was made upon the capital invested. This your -committee lias not had the time to carefully Investigate, to the extent it would wish. At this time, It gives you the benefit of a hasty estimate, made from the business In this State, for the year ending Dec. 81st, 1806, taken from the sworn statement of the insurance companies, to the Secretary of State, relative thereto, .' The Insurance business written, a- mounted to about 49 millions Of dollars. Of this, the premiums paid to insurance1 companies would be about 1 per cent, or J(i787,500. The losses paid by the in surance companies amount to about! 13,000. 'this makes a gross prout in! r.ortii Carolina or Ki.uoo.

We. have letters and communications from a number of our best citizens, who say that the high rates of Insurance here have caused them to carry their own risks, to a great extent. All who have paid the matter any at tention, (and among whom are those dis posed to consider the insurance compa nies' side of the question), are of the opinion that the rates are entirely too high."- : Insurance companies will not loan their money in this State, as a rule; but prefer as a matter of security, invest ments at a much lower rate than we can get money for here. Therefore, the money made by fire insurance companies in this State, goes altogether outside of the State to be invested at a less rate of Interest than we would pay for It Your committee Is now in communica tion with a reliable fire insurance com- pany, which has done a safe and suc cessful business, in regard to a plan of business which the company hat been working on for some rime; and which, It believes, will meet the demands of our case.
