PROPOSALS, lb,
BY THE ' ! n
Insurance Company of North America.!
For Insdramci against Fia», on Dwelling- 1 f
Houses, Ware-Hcufcs, and other Buildings (and • "
on Goods contained in such Buildings) difiant from j P
Philadelphia, ill the United States. I 11
d
I. Common lufurance*, on hazards of the firft 1 (
class, will be undertaken at a premium of ahout p
hali per cent. per annum. For'extra hazardous ' t
rifq»es a larger prrrrinm will be required, which o
will vaiy according to circunftances, fcidom ex- j d
teeding one per cent, per annum ; but in some i-n- c
fiances, where the property insured is not only in
itfelf extra hazardous, but rendered still more so t
by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and j
occupations, the premium demanded be railed f
according to rircumftanc&s.
Houses and Ware-Hc,ufes, the vails and pcrti- t
tions of which arc wholly »f ft one or brick, well
conftru&ed, so as t» be guarded as well as may be
against fires from within, and tree from extra ha
zardous buildings and occupations in their neigh-
borhood, will be deemed hazardous of the firft
class, and may be insured to their full value.
Also Good* and Merchandize, not o! an extra _
hj7n r dcus kind, in calks, bales, or packages, 4e-
Ktpofitcd in such buildings, to an ameunt not ex
ceeding 4000 dollars ; bat if more than thisfum 1
■Required to be insured in one tenement, an sjdic
TWR<wal premium will be required, in proportion to t
circumllances.
11. Insurances will also be made on buildings and J
good* extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned (
to thri risque. But it is not e:.fy to arrange these (
under particular heads cr classes, so as to describe f
each with the necessary accuracy. Bach cat- niuft
therefore be decided upop according to thecireum- r
fiances a tending it ; and these circumstances wili, a
in general, appear from the description accotnpa- f
uymg t'eapplication. a
Buildings partly conftrucled of brick or stone, f
are preferable to thofo wholly wooden. And in
both cases, the stile of buiWin~, how they are oc- i
cupied, how they are fitunted, the neighboring a
buildings, and how occupied, arc considerations to a
be taken into view. And with refpeA t# goods, -
their tendency, whether from their nature, or r
from the rnanoer in which they are exposed, c ther t
to commence or to increase an accidental fire, and i
tlicir liability in such state to receive damage by i
wet, or by sudden and hasty removal, or to be fto- 1
len iu time of confufion and hufry, are all cir- c
cumft&nces of weight; and the premiums mutt be 1
proportioned accordingly. i
HI. The fallowing conditiont are to be under- ,
flood hy the parlies. ' t
:f:. The Insurance is not binding till the ftipu
latsjpremium belaid ; but it (hall be deemed ef- i
fedlual from the time of such payment and accep- 1
'.••dice thereof, whether the policy be immediately c
finned or not.
ad. Infurincts may be renewed at the expira- <
tion of the term of the policy, without further ex- 1
petlfes than the payment of the premium of the re
newed term, the circumstances continuing the fame t
as they were underilood by the Infurtrs at the time J
the former insurance was made ; but the payment c
of the premium is eflential to such renewal; and I
it the party insured fuffers any time to elapfc after j
the expiration ef the former insurance, before he
pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured j
during such time ; nor can the insurance be renew- c
eel on the former policy but by computing the t
conimtr.ceir.ent of the renewal from the expiration c
of the former insurance. The lubjedl of ihfur- j
a'ice may nc'.erthclcls be open to treaty for a new (
insurance. \
jd. If spy other insurance he made on the fame 1
property ; itmuft be made known at the time of (
application, otherwise the policy made on such ap
plication will be void. i
jth Goods held in trust, or on consignment, i
ray be insured as such in a separate policy; but t
th\> are not Wbe'cohljderefi Ss irifufed vtheraafe. j
Jth, This cotnpany will not liahiu or aeceun- <
tabk'for any loss or damage occafiorvrd by any for- r
invafion, or ty any military or usurped force
or hy pc.,fon of any ci\il commotion ; oroccafion, t
eel. by gunpowder, aquafortis dr other thing of th» c
like kind kept in the building, or amonglt the pro
perty insured. t
fcln. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Secu
rities Title Deads, Money. Bank and other pro- c
mifiory Notes, are not included in any insurance ; f
nor are paißtings, medals, jewels, gems, antique
curio'itios, or mirrors exceeding the value of twen
ty-live dollars-each, to be considered as insured une i
less particularly mentioned and by special agree
ment.
Jsh. No insurance will be made foraftorter
term than one year, nor for a longer term than fe- ~
yeii years. Persons chooling to insure fbr seven
years fnall b eallowed one year's premium by way
of difeount: One third of a years premium fliall
be abated in like manner on an insurance for
tfcree years.
Bth. Losses fuftainedby fireon property insured, r
lhallbe paid in thirty days after due proof and li- j
■quidation thereof, without deehi&ion.
A defci iption of the property to be infurod will a
he expected with each application, to be made by £
a mailer carpenter and signed by him, as well as
hy the owner of the building oi applicant for in
furar.ee, and attested before a Notary or principal j
Magistrate, who will certify his knowledge of the
parties and Jieir credibility.

• mill, saw mill, dwelling houfc, bam, and a port
'> age or carrying place, with between thirty and
■ forty acres of land, under good improvement, and
as much more in the vicinity, as may be required
: > for futHre improvement.
n The grid mill is a handsome, new and well fin

d water from every part of thcCayuga lake ami Se-
Y neca-river, as well as from the Seneca-lake—and
- fromite fituatiou, commands a veryextenfive and

e being the outlet of the Seneca-lake, the mill cau
never Vc in want of water- \ and as it has b«en kept
werkiojjdirting the severest Teafor: of thelaltwin- '
ter, it is not liable to be impeded by froft :
The saw mill is also new, fituateii on the fame

The portage is 3-4thsof a mile in length, along
e the Sen'ica-faiis—over which were passed in tlio
e la* year, nearly two hundred boats with their
t contents ; this objefi is already pr.oduftive of a
a handsome income, which must be increasing and
r permanent:
e Among the tnanv advantages of thisfituation,
J must be numbered the fertility of thefunaunding
- country —being the best improved part of the coun

a course by land and water, the GenefTee ftateroad
- palling through it, as well as all water carriage to
