If ever) building and factory in New Britain were burnt, the same would be true as in the case of the fire at San Francisco, where over $300,000,000 was lost, THe Insurance companies paid these losses promptly and. New Britain re- ceived a very substantial benefit from the early and satisfactory. settlement of these losses. There, was a large demand for builders hardware to re- place the burnt property, and the factories of this city probably fur- nished 70 per cent of this hardware. Had it not been for the insurance c¢ompanies with their large amount of assets there would have been manv failures in San Francisco. The sams# is true of Salem, Portland, "Water- bury and other places where con- flagrations have occured. It is only by rare good fortune that New- Britain has so far escaped.
