Insurance Will Cost Less When Flues Are Built Correctly, "nder a recent ruling of the South ? -tern Tariff Association, the clause that has until recently been ignored in the requirements of certain poli cies warranting that Hues are not of brick.on-edge-construction will be en forced hereafter. This really means that in the future, all houses that have stove Hues built with the brick laid edgewise instead of on the side will be subject to an additional charge Of 2."? cents per one hundred dollars of insurance, viz.. $2..".<> per $1.000. It bns been customary in many parts of the country to build the tines with the brick edgewise for economy, hut this Is not the safest method of construction and the Insurance com panies are trying to have it changed. This la not only a precautionary mea sure on the part of the tire insurance companies, but Is diso intended to ensure the safety of the Insured.
