after the injunction was dissolved but
pending an appeal to tbe high

crossed the disputed ground with
Impunity The injunction of tho
Fort Worth company prevented its
rival from connecting the two enda of

but n urw company the
Queen City wns organized and the
council grunted it tho rightofway
over certain streets covering tho dis

FLKE INSURANCE
Aa Argument Aeainst tho Valued
Policy Clause
Tho following circular waa handed
Tub Gazktti by n flro insurance
agent in the city It has been eent to
every agent lu Texas of the company
sending it out
To our AsenU In Texa
At the last term of tho United States
district court for tho state of Texas
them waa reudered a Judgment against
tho Royal and California Insurance
companies for the full amount of their
policies upon tho Hlncbman Ironclnd
warehouse destroyed by fire last May
The claim waa mudo aud the pnrtles
allego and stvear to the actual canh
value of the building ns being
J45U CO while their original contract
to build It was only 2700 The defense
wb that the building w9 only
worth 2100 nt the tlmo of the
fire aud that It would only cost 2700
to replace the building This decision
was rendered under the provision lu
your code know n as the Valued Policy
Clause Wo were aware at tho time
of thu introduction of this clnusa Into
the code that wo were llablo to bo sub
jected to such decisions but hoped
vour courts would not enforce it to
tho letter but it teenm that it is to be
enforced strictly and In consequence
wo are compelled to protect ourselves
against frauds which may bo perpe
trated upon us uuder tho provisions of
this statute
Therefore wo beg to say to you that
on and after the 1st d yof February
you will writo for thn Hartford noth
ing on buildings in frume rows of
more than four buildings and limit
tho amount of insurance on any and
all buildings written for us at 00 per
cent of their cash valuo Aa several
com panics announce they will discon
tinue writing on buildiugs jou will
use great cuutlon in the selection ef
risks on tho rhuio This course we
find ourselves obliged to adopt as a
meusure of safety and wo dttdro to
Impress upon you tho importance of
tatting action by Individual or united
eflort throughout the state to Becure
tho ropeal of this obnoxious provision
of the code
Below we give you some reasons for
taking thla position
1 It contravened and overrides tho
fuudamental principle of ilro insur
ance which la indemnity and hereby
changes the jwlicy to a mere wager or
so much money say 25 or 50 premi
um against 15000 loss
2 It will legalize Incendiarism and
rraud by enforcing a payment in munv
caees much beyond theactual Iobh
X It will debauch tho consciences
and demoralize the pructlceaof holaers
of tiro Insurance pollclea by continual
temptation to burn their property
4 It takes away tho rights of mak
ing contracta otherwise legal and
proper except ou this forced und un
usual basis
5 It overthrows the highest Hanc
tlbns or Justice human and divine by
muking property worth more to bum
thau to keep
1 It injures tbe commonwealth by
ottering not merely a temptation but
a premium for the destruction of prop
erty which ouo destroyed cannot bo
restored aud takes no much from the
common stock
7 It makes no aliowanco for depre
ciation In value by time and change of
circumstances or other causes
8 It gives no opportunity for the
adjustment of differences between par
ties to tho contract but compels a
rorced and arbitrary pajment wholly
ulsre ardluithe equities in tho cast
0 It makes an Invidious dUtlnc
tlon against tbe contracts of lire In
suranco companies aa oomparert with
all other contractu for which there is
nofuuudUlon in tho character of the
busluess and
10 Ab all restrictions and burdens
upon business of any klud must u 111
mately loll uj > on tho consiiiu r so this
must ultimately result in an lucmiue
ot the cost of iusurauco owing to the
Increased burdons by reason of the
heavier rati of losses and exponso
Many other reasons will ocour to t on
why this law Bhould not retmlu uiou
iour statute book aua we desire that
you will commuulcato at once w 1th
your nenator or rupresentMtlvo the
reasons why this statute should be to
pealed as detrimental to tho Inter sta
of the great and growing state of Texas
and emhtrmlng and injurious to
thoao who are engaged in protecting
the property owuew of tho
state from
