G?While the German threat of a bhickode lia?! created u great wave of indignation among the newspapers and the public, ii i.< re garded by many high olliciala us a bluff. It in claimed that with her small number of wur vessels, Germany can not make the blockade effective and It is argued that had Germany been able to interfere with British transports carrying troops to Prance site already would have done so. Shippers appear to feel little alarm. At Lloyd'a underwriters viewed the threat calmly and made little change In tin; war risk rales.

That paved streets piay u very iiu portant part in the making of fire in surance rates for a city, is the state nient tiiat coir.es from the Southeas tern Underwriters Association. At the request of Mayor Godfrey, a let ter was addressed to the association by Mr. w. i). McLean, secretary and treasurer of the Kealty TniBt Com pany, of tliis city, ashing what effect paved streets had in the fixing of in surance rates for a city. Yesterday Mr. McLean gave out the correspond ence between himself and the South eastern Underwriters Association with reference to the matter. The letter, in part, of Mr. McLean to the chief engiueer of the South eastern 1'nderwriters Association and the engineer's reply, are as follows: Mr. McLean's Letter. A. M. Sehoert, Chief EnglneeiV Atlan ta, Ga. . ; , :'. Dear Sir: .According to'your book of "Rates, Rules and Forms," the condi tions of a city's streets is one of the large factors in determining what fire Insurance rates shall apply to that city. According to the Southeastern Underwriters Association classifica tion of cities from a fire insurance rate standpoint, the city of Anderson 's rated as second class. According to the schedule by which this classifi cation is determined, my understand ing is that one of the conditions un der which you grant a city as good n rating ns second-class is that its street-! must be well paved in a hard and durable manner, and kept in good condition and especially Is this to apply in the business, manufactur ing and other districts containing large values. I take this to mean that although a city may own an adequate supply of modem Are fight ing equipment and although the atzo of its mains and pressure afforded, be of a very high standard, still a city Is not entitled to the classification that these fire fighting facilities war rant, unlesB the .conditions of. Us streets measure up to the standard, as abo stated. ' Chief Engineer Srhoen's Letter. , Mr,, w. D. McLean. Secretary and Treasurer, Realty Trust Co., Ander son, S. C. .' . ' Dear Sir:" Implying to your inquiry of tljo 4th inst.. beg to say that we cou sid?r. the condition of the streets, es pecially In the congested value and large manufacturing districts of cit ies under first or second classifica tion, a feature of. mOst vital import? ance. As you know the classifica tion or basis rate of a city Is ar rived at after a careful Investiga tion of these features, which affect not alone the Individual risk, hut the' city as a whole, and for which the entire city and not the individual citizen 1b responsible. T'if main Items involved when clas sification 1b being determined are wa te?- supply, pumping and distributing system, equipment of fire department, fire alarm system, condition of streets, and laws and ordinances. For Qrst and second claBB cities, the streets in the important sections of the city, where considerable value? are involved, are required to be paved, as the value of a well equipped fire denartment Is greatly reduced If the apparatus can not on any and all oc casions rt:"h the scene of the fire promptly. Consequently, the cnndjL? tion of the street plays an important part in the determination of classifi cation when our engineers make their recommendations. , , , Yours vjery truly, A. M. SCHOEN, .
