Low Insurance Rates Obtained After The Fire.

Fire insurance Companies are offering very low rates on brick buildings within the Town, as low as 50c and even 45c on the hundred dollars having been already secured on brick buildings. Fire insurance all over the Town is reported to be very much lower here now, than in Moncton and other Provincial cities. Citizens who at first, considered the Town Council's action in passing the fire district Bye-Law somewhat drastic and even unwarranted are now loud in their praises of the new building regulation.

When Water Street will be all built up with fireproof buildings such as those which have already been erected in various sections of the Town within the past few months and several are in course of construction. Most people who had a one and one-half storey building before the fire have erected a two-storey building on their old foundation.
