After referring to the great progregs of fire insurance the President stated that he had heard it asserted ‘that the past Year had been highly remunerative in its results because the latter part of the year was exceptionably free from disastrous fires, Referring to statistics, however, he had found that this view was erroneous. He had the returns from 187 companies—a very large number of figures—and from which some very ac- curate comparisons had been made, To this had also been added a separate table, giving the re- sults of the business in this country by companies from ioreign governments, The dividends of the year 1873 have averaged upon the capital employed in the business, 8.35 per cent; divided for the New York State companies, 9.46 per cent; companies of other States, 8.26 per cent. This wasa gain of .72 per cent ascompared with 1872 New York State companies, however, lose .82 per cent, while com- panies of other States gain 2.85 per cent for the same period, The whole amount paid out to stock- holders between 1859 and 1874 was $64,865,261 23, THE PERCENTAGE OF LOSSES paic in proportion to premiums received in 1873, was—For New York State companies, exactly 58 44-100; for companies of other States, 60 13-100; and for foreign companies, 63 42-100 per cent. This gave an aggregate average to American compa- nies of 69.36 against 78.41 in 1872, During the year 1873 there were received for premiums by Ameri- 724; by foreign companies, $10,803,355 @ total of $62,828,070, ‘This shows an increase over 1872 of $7,477,863. During the year $37,731,634 were paid for losses, ‘The same com- panies received in addition to the above ior inland and marine insurance $4,390,771, and paid for losses on the same $3,805,266, an average of 86.66 per cent on receipts.

Hall, Chairman of the Comnmmittee on Adjustments and Statistics, read tue annual report of that committee, of which the following 1s a summary :— Itcannot be truthfully said that the business of firo underwriting is one eutirely i/hout foundations; for, whether it be realized or not, the enure fire insurance business of the country {s conducted on the experience of certain companies, but so few in humaer that one may count them on'his fingers. Your Cowmittee has been furnished with the statistics of sixty companies and promised those of twenty others. It nas been dein- onstrated that the results of underwriting for the years 1871, 1872 and 1873, on the following classes, show ® posi- tive’ loss:—Paper wills, tlouring mills, ‘woollen mills, iron workers, hardware manufactories, steamboats, shoe manufactories, Tho sta: | tistics of churches and cotton mills show # less disastrous result than either of the above. Your Committee has prepared a form for fire reports, and have recommended the same to the chiet engineers of the fre departments of the principal cities, and hope recommendin; lish com- jew York; Hies—Messrs.

This, supplemented by the actual losses by fire on such ‘@ciass for aterm ot years, will afford data | jor a calculation of the actual hazard superior even to the aggregated experiences of companies. We beg leave to make the following recommendations | for the prosecution of the statistical work of the Svard | for the coming year — | First—We recommend that the monthly report of losses | on special hazards be continued. Second—We recommend that statistics of the classes of | hazards herein reported on be collected tor the year 1873, Thisd—We recommend that statistics of the ‘followin, additional classes of hazaras be collected tor 187, Tak | 1872 and 1873:—Breweries, malt houses, lumber yards, | tanneries, indiarubber works. bleacheries, dye and print woe pianing miils, saw milis and wholesale stocks ot ru ‘s ‘merth—We recommend that the Committee on Adjust: m and Statistics prepare a form tor a National Board Classification Register, and submit the same at | the next anuual meeting, or to the Executive Committee, it prepared In aayance of that meeting. This report was adopted ana ordered to be | printed. SON. ARSON. ‘The report of the Committee on Incendiarism and | Arson was read by the Chairman, B.S.

A bill has been in- troduced at the present session whieh. as the Legisla- ture is so near its close, may not pass, but the public will know that this important retorm ‘measure has been at the headquarters ot insurance, the moral effect of which will be important and ‘satisfactory throughout the country. y The new constitution of Pennsylvania, passed Novem- ber has the following clause :—‘Taxation is to be I property of the same class, and the property which may be exempted from taxation js accu- rately limited and defined.” This clause needs, probably, # judicial interpretation to be understood, legal minds Dot being clea: is precise meaning. Probably the Droperty of a! “ance companies, whether foreign or native, doing bt the usiness in tate, that is in the State, would be subject to the same tax, but whether premiums receipts per es would be regard jed in that category is a Question, The Insurance law in Tennessee has been amended so | as toabolish the State license fee and raise the percent: ane. tax on gross reccipts from one and @ half to two and ahultper cent. The expense of doing business in this State under the ola law averaged about seven per cent on gross premiums received. ‘any o her States, notably California, are striving to give more encouragement to insurance companies.
