Berg said he felt the roads could handle the trucks. Berg then said he would prefer that the ZBA make a recommendation concerning . the timetable to which the petitioner would respond, instead of the petitioner making the recom­ mendation. Board members Kauss and Cuda both f^lt that the petitioners should make the proposal. Kupstis said, "I am looking for a timetable. I want something more definite than sometime between now and five or seven years. We will have 200 and some odd buildings and maybe more than one connection with the City." With a request to the' petitioners to return with a proposed timetable, which is not binding but merely in­ formational, Fouse recessed the hearing until Friday, Nov. 30, at 3 p.m. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) since there is a law, an or­ dinance, or somebody's regulation that burning should not take place.

Another sign of Fall with a hint of Winter came in a call from Adele Conlon; who described -the sight of Bohemian Wax Wings eating red berries from her bushes as "a rare sight". The birds, which resemble Bluejays, except smaller, were last seen in the Spring. Apparently they are now enroute South. - And for the real clincher that Winter is not far behind, the first letter to Santa piaus arrived Monday morning.

Emerson. What are your home, your furniture and your personal possessions worth? Too many property owners give that question only casual thought until a windstorm, fire .or other peril damages or destroys their homes, warns the Insurance Information in­ stitute. While practically all homeowners have insurance against such catastrophes, literally millions are ufi- derinsured. They are not valuing their dwellings properly or are overlooking the effects of inflation, now at a double-digit rate, ac­ cording to the U.S. Depart­ ment of Commerce. For these reasons, the institute advises, homeowners would do well to review their policies often and to check at least four phases of coverage. First, the amount of in­ surance on a dwelling should be based on the cost of . building it today. Neither the purchase price a few years ago nor the current market value should be used as a ; guide. The institute suggests that the homeowner consult with his or her insurance representative to determine how best to estimate the replacement cost of the home. By insuring to 100 percent of that value, homeowners will be sure of having enough money to build a new home of the same quality should disaster strike. If a home isn't insured to full value, it should be in­ sured for at least 80 percent of replacement value. Even at that figure, a family whose $40,000 house is destroyed will have to pay $8,000 7 of the replacement cost because it will collect no more than the face amount of the policy - $32,000. On a $50,000 house insured -to 80 percent of replacement value, the family will have to come up with • $10,000 in addition to the insurance settlement to build a new dwelling equal to the old. H o m e o w n e r s w h o carefully review their policies learn - if they do not already know - another important reason for in­ suring to 80 percent or more of replacement value. If a dwelling with- that coverage is damaged, the insurance company will pay the full replacement cost of any partial loss without figuring in depreciation, as is usually the case in settling any in­ surance claim. . When coverage is less than 80 percent, insurers pay the larger of two amounts: either the replacement cost less depreciation; ot a portion- of the current replacement value, deter­ mined by the ratio of'the insurance coverage to the 80 percent figure. A second important c o n s i d e r a t i o n f o r homeowners is the value of their personal property. The h o m e o w n e r s p o l i c y automatically covers per­ sonal property for an ad­ ditional amount equal to 40 percent of the insurance for the dwelling, but its value today may be considerably more. The only sure way to tell is to make an inventory. The coverage can then be increased if necessary. Furthermore, homeowners who have valuable pieces of jewelry and furs usually need extra insurance protection. The homeowners policy covers jewelry and furs for a total of only $500 in case of theft. One fur coat or a simple piece of jewelry can easily be worth more than $500. Appraisal Needed As a third step in securing a d e q u a t e i n s u r a n c e , homeowners are advised by the Institute to have an appraisal made of Silver­ ware, antiques, works of art and other valuables. Usually this property also needs added coverage. The ap­ praisal record should be kept in the safe deposit box, along with the inventory of per­ sonal possessions. . F i n a l l y , h o m e o w n e r s should weigh carefully the possibility -that they need more' personal liability coverage. All homeowners policies. provide $25,000 of this insurance,- to protect them and their families to that amount if a suit or claim is filed by someone for in­ juries, or for damage to his property. ? Jury awards for hundreds of thousands of dollars, a rarity 20 years ago, have become common. Additional liability coverage is relatively inexpensive. It costs *$3 to $5 to increase $25,000 coverage to $50,000, $6 to $10 to increase it to $100,000, $10 to $15 for $200,000 and $15 to $20 for $300,000. * • • * The mercy of God isn't to be purchased by cash contributions.
