CUT OF $2.50 PER THOUSAND PROM
ISED FOR DAWSON.
Representative Cooge Here Looking Into
the Situation. Favorably Impressed
With the Fire Department.
It is probable that Dawson will soon
have a new insurance rate, which will
mean the saving ¢f thousands of dol
lars eyery year to the policy holders.
Mr. J. L. Googe of Atlanta, special
agent of the Southeastern Tariff Asso
ciation, was in Dawson last week for
tbe purpose of looking into the gques
tion of lowering the rates for this
point, and spent several days in
going caretully over the situation and
arranging a prospective table of rates
to be in conformity with the protec
tion afforded by a paid rire department
and waterworks.
He looked into the fire department
with eare and reviewed the records of
losses and risks kept by Chief Came
ron, announcing at the conclusion ot
his investigation that he was yery fa
vorably impressed with the depart
ment, and that so far as its work was
conceraed lower rates should be forth
coming soon.
As far as The News is able to gather
there is but one obstacle in the way of
immediate reduction. That is the fact
that the waterworks company has had |
at the pumping station but one boiler.
If the company maintained a duplicate
boiler the cut in rates would be a cer
tainty. A new boiler has rvecently
been installed at the station, but itis
a question as to whether the insurance
companies will accept the old boiler as
a duplicate. This is the way the mat
ter now stands and the whole question
is whether or net the boiler will be ac
cepted. In the event it is not, itis
probable that the waterworks company,
after the litigation between it ana the
city is settled, will install another
boiler.
It will thus be seen that the reduc
tion in rates is a practical certainty,
although it may be delayed for som:2
time yet. The cut will be a decided
one when it does come, a rate of at
least $2.50 per thousand or less being
inaicaved. This will mean the saving of
thousands of dollars annually to those
who carry - insurance in Dawszon, and
will far outbalance the amount expend
ed for a paid fire department.
REV. J. M. LONG.
Pastor of Dawson Baptist Church
