WAIMATAITAI INSURANCE.
To the Editor of the "Tiinaru Herald." Sir, —I wish to draw attention to a grievance of the burgesses <•£ the extended borough. One of tie inducements he'.d out to get us to join the borough was reduced rates of insurance, but I was surprised when renewing the insurance on my residence the other day to find tiiat 1 had to pay-pn-imum at the "Id rate of l'l.s while I uiKt.-r-tiind n.y neighbour over tiie ro;.d hut in the old borough gets off with something like f'.-i Sd. " Now that I am entitled to the services of the Fire Brigade 1 fail to see the jiiaf.ee of such treatment. Are not the Insurance- Companies overcharging, and sh.ii'id not some r< ilii't i<m lie marie in the premiums- '•" ivsideii'-cs hi the extend*."-! borough?—l am. etc. AVAIMATAIT.U.
fAVe are informed that, it is int-end- < rl to make .-oir.e siltr rj.l ::-n in the insurance- rat s fur the new portion of the '"'.rough, V.iit tin t-. tiie present loc-ii iii-urauce agents have received no i-.i-tr.ietions from the Vnderwrilers' .Wc-iation. Christ-lmreh. with whom the matter rests.—Ed. The Herald.]
