The appraisers will then appraise the loss or damage, stating separately the value and loss or damage; and failing to agree, will submit their differences only to the umpire.
The award in writing of any two, when filed with us, will determine the amount of value and loss or damage. Each appraiser will be paid by the party selecting him and the expenses of the appraisal and of the umpire will be paid by the parties equally
