FIRE INSURANCE
iTo The Editor! Su-,—A recent happening has confirmed an impression 1 have held for many years —that younger people do not recognise th 3 advantage of fire insurance. When we get on in li, e and get our own home or/ and business it is one of the ordinary risks we insure against. Yet the average young person owns practically nothing but personal effects—clothing,* bits of jewellery or other things they may have accumulated. They live at home* or in lodgings and arc always liable to lose tlu* lot by fire which may break out where they are liviug, next door, or a block away. Rut very few of the young folk will have a board behind to hel.» them. Fire insurance is so cheap, the average is probably less than 10s per year for £IOO. So it resolves itself into not whether you can afford to insure your effects as whether you can afford not to insure them.—l am, etc., WALTER SNODGRASS. Nelson, 23rd November.
