In addition to a reduc-tio- n three-foiirtvalprincipally on business 'property the ue clause has been done away with and the iron safe clause will not be required after February 15, 1928, on policies within the city limits of Price and Helper. This reduction has long been sought, but owing to the bad fire record previous to five years ago the hoard could not see its wav clear to tfrant the request. ; hs Our fire loss during the past five years justifies the reduction, and we trust that the experience for the next few years will result in a further reduction, but it is up to the property owners to continue to protect their property by keeping all hazards down to the lowest possible state.
