Another 5 Of
Fire Credit
Bartlett lost another 5 of
its good fire record credit in
insurance premium rates an
nounced this week by the State
Fire Insurance Commission. Pol-
icies for the next year will show
a 10 credit while Bartlett en-
joyed a 15 credit during the
past year and a 20 credit dur-
ing the year prior to that. Bates
change April 1st
Local insurance men estimate
that Bartlett may lose another
5 during the coming year be-
cause of the system on which
credits and penalties are es-
tablished. They are determined
on a five year averace of fire
loses and are mride in steps of
5. Because of its good record
prior to 1954 Bartlett had built
up to 20 credit which meant
that those taking out fire in-
surance saved 20 over the
average on their premiums.
This year they will save only
10.
Penaties are issued in the
Bame way and it is possible to
receive a 15 penalty for a
bad record.
Monk McCarthy's almost as
good at publicity stunts as ho is
at servicing and repairing cars
which is pretty darned good.
His latest gimmick is a hand-
bill titled: "Do-It- Yourselfers!
Why NotGrease Your Own Car?"
Thon ho follows with two
paragraphs about all tho greases
you'll noed-tho full set of
wrenches spray gun grease gun
four jacks-tho ability to work
flat on. your back with a face full
of goo. And at tho very end
there's this line: "Or if that's
too much trouble we'll do the job
for 754."
From where I sit I'll have to.
admit Monk's schemes attract
attention. They often seem far-
fetched to me but 'he and I al-
ways had different opinions on
how to run a business just as
we have different opinions about
what's the best beverage. Ho
likes hot tea I prefer a glass of
beer which doesn't keep us
from having a "smooth-running"
friendship.
