windstorm or loss under the extended coverage endorsement The contents rates for all dwellings have been reduced from 20 cents to 16 cents for full coverage The deductible clause does not apply to contents of dwellings Full cover extended coverage Including windstorm and hail may still be obtained by the policy holder at an increased rate from 20 cents to 22 cents Experience cov of television antennas pre sents a severe windstorm and hail exposure and practically amounts to a maintenance con tract In another effort to stabil ize the extended coverage Insur ance and keep loss ratios within due bound the coverage on out side radio and television equip ment has been eliminated from the dwelling forms If hall and windstorm protection Is desired on radio and television equip ment specific
