MANAGER Makes Slow But Persistent Progress in Building Up Surplus The state fire and tornado fund “stow but rather persistent | s” since it was established in of 1919, according fo the report by Harold Hopton, manager, recently issued. The fund was established by the legislature of 1919 to provide for the insurance by it of all state, cify, | school and other public property, | subject to fire and tornado for | amounts not to exceed 90 percent | of the value of.the property.~ _ The premium income since the be-! ginning and up to thé endeof No- vember, 1922, has’ amounted | to! $190,493.38, according to the refort | and the net income to $338,079.88. | A surplus of $260,072.13 remain’ ‘The operating cost was $13,561.28 or 26 percent of the gross income. Progress has been made; says Mr.| Hopton’s letter of transmittal, with- out “adding in any way additional expense to the already overburden- ed taxpayers of the state.’ The maney which thq -political sub-divisions have paid for the in- surance protection on their property | is money: that they would have had | to pay out any. way, for their in- surance, and so the surplus of more than $260,000 is a clear saving, for the t sy Mr.. Hopton asserts. | The that criticism of the law sed could not be wholly refuted because no appropriation was made, for a reserve fund to back it up. This difficulty has been partially overcome by the reserve fund of - more \than — $338,000—$260,000 of which is surplus—which has been built up. The present annual interest in-| come of the fund is $15,578.66 more than three times the annual operat- ing. expense which has not yet reach- ed $5,000, BIG BUSINESS | IS PREDICTED ON NO.

In relation to the quantity of 7 produced, the accident rate\ will actually higher than for the ous-year, the report said, Ina summarization of the record, bureau statisticians point out that from the first of April to the list of August a large part of the industry was closed down on account of a miners strike; the production of fresh-mined anthra- cite was completely stopped; ‘and the output of soft coal was cut in half. This stoppage naturally elimi- nated the accidents that would have occurred had the mines been in operation. The net result, therefore, was that the five-month period of the strike showed an abnormally low number of-fatal accidents, and this reduction will, of course, be reflected in the total number of fatalities for the year. e RELEASE KIDNAPPED OFFICIAL.
