8 1 —IS PROPOSALS, BY THI Insurance Company qf North America. Ed For Insurance against Fw», on Dwelling- j n Houses, Ware-Houses, and other Buildings (and on Goods contained in such Buildings) distant from j n Philadelphia, in the Uuitcd States. j t ■ 1 Q I Common lufurancet, on hazards of the firft class, will be undertaken at a premium of ahout Jv hall per cm. per annum. For extra Hazardous rifques a larger premium will be required, which will vaty according to circutiftances, feldam ex- ' leeding oa.- per cent, per annum ; but io some in- °' fiances, where the property ir.fured is not only in itfelf extra hazardous, but rendered flill more so tl by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and to occupations, the premium demanded will be raised m according to drcumflances. di Houses and Ware<Houfes, the walls and pcrti- tk tions of which afe wholly of stone or l>rick, well bi conftruiled, so at to be guarded as well as may be again!! fires from wrfhin, and free l'rom extra ha zardous buildings and occupations in their neigh- Q borhood, will be doomed hazardous of the firft class, a"d may be insured to their full value. Also Goods and Merchandize, not o' an extra hazardous kind, in casks. bales, or packages, Ae pofited in such h uildhigs, to an amount rot ex ceeding 4000 dollars ; but if more than thisfnm •« is required to be.insured in one tenement, an addi~ tioaal premium will be required, in proportion to f( sircurnftances. [ a 1!. Insurances will also he made on buildings aad p good* ext»a hazardous, at premiums proportioned to thfl rifoue. Eut it is Hot easy to arrange tb-.fe uiu'er particular funide ( r clafTes, so as to describe each with tl>e necessary accuracy. Each cafe mufl therefore be decided upon according to the circum fiances a-tending it; and these circumftanccs wifi, in general, appear from the defcripticn aceompa uyibg theapplication. Building" partly conftruiled of brick or none, N are pveferablc to those wholly wooder. And in both cases, the stile of buils'inj, how they are oc cvpied, how they are fituitcd, the neighboring buildings, andhow areconflderatiocs to be taken into view. And with refficit te goods, their tendency, whether from their nature, or from the manner in which they are exposed, ether to commence or to increase an accidental fire, a«d their liability in such state lo receive damage by fy wet, or by sudden and ha(ly removal, or to he fto- 0 ] leu in time of confufion and hurry, are all dr- e . cumftances of weight; and the premiums mufl be . e proportioned accordingly. ] ] 1(1.

Insurance* naay be renewed at the rxpira- P* tion of the tern) of the policy, without further ex- >* penfesthan the payment of the premium of the re newed term, the circumftanccs continuing the fame as they were uhderftood by the Insurers at the time the former insurance wss made ; but the payment of the | remiuni is essential t® such renewal ; and q if the party infu*edfuffers any time to elapse after the expiration of the former insurance, before he r pays 3 ; refnium for the renewal, he is not insured during such time ; Bor can the insurance be renew- ■ e.l en the forfner policy but by computing the * commencement of the renewal frem the expiration o[ the former insurance. The fubjeA of infur- ° ance may neverthelefe be open to treaty for a new le insurance. 3d.
