Whitewright Wins Insurance Credit On Fire Premiums
The Texas Fire Insurance Commission granted Whitewright a three percent insurance credit on fire premiums for the year starting March 1. The credit lowers Whitewright property insurance costs by three percent for 1934, based on the loss to premium ratio from 1931 to 1933. The city previously had no penalty or credit, having lost a six percent credit in 1933. 1933 losses were negligible and no major fires occurred. Continuation of the good record could yield further credit next year.
