City Appeals Against Ten Percent Fire Insurance Rise
H O Fishback Washington Insurance Commissioner urges Lynden and state residents to oppose a 10 percent fire insurance rate increase effective November 1. He argues premiums rose 27.7 million with 14.3 million in losses over five years, but recent prevention efforts and tighter building standards cut losses and warrant no broad rise. He plans to seek legislative action to annul the increase and protect property owners.
