It contains a statement of the business done by life, accident, casualty and surety companies in. the state during the vear 1919. Commissioner Mansfield discusses the effect of influenza .and kindred dis- eases on the claims paid by companies. Out of thirty-one. life .companies only three had increased their insurance rates. The ecmmissioner give the resuit of { his observation of the effect of influenza upon mortality and sickness from Octo- ber 1, 1918. to March 31, ~191%. The death claims. for \hat peried amounted to 5 01, ana the .amount of such | ms for that period amounted to and the amounl of such claims | due to influenza, la wrid and gmen was $120,443,469, representing 47.8 cent. of the total claim appear,” reads.the report, four statistics go .we may sume that the mortality rate was almost double that of the normal during the pe- riod under consideration. This fact i$ strikingly illustrated in the case of the experience of fraternal societies.” It appeared that health and accident companies suffered an increase in the irate of sickpess proportionately as great fas the increase in the rate of mortality experienced by the life companies an fraternal societies, | Fraternal insurance has received - its| share of the amount of new bu # sss ac- cording to thé report.. The inciease for the first six months of 1919 over the cor- | responding 1918 period amounts to 84 per cent. Unlike the life companies there was a considerable falling off in new business for 1917, but only a slight de- { ease in 1918. Contrary to the case of the life companies not all fraternal so- cieties shared in the increase. Of the twenty-five societies whose expeifence i included above, ten showed a decrease for 1919 as compared with 1918, As to the probable effe: of influenza the increase. in new_ business Com- nia per "It would thus on “As o what effect the influenza epi- demic has had upon the increase in new | business, I have concluded that it is something we can only make a guess at. Personally I am of the opinion that the three important. factors contributing to the 1919 increase are influenza, govern- ment insurance for sailors and soldiers, and general prosperity. Of these three | factrs 1 believe that general prosperit in the lead with influenza and gov- insurance running a close sec- ond. - Our industrial population has en- joyed an unprecedented prosperity and as been spending money freely. Insur- ance officials with whom I have discuss- ed the subject advise me that their agen- forces have been diverting a fa hare of this money. to investment in life insurance. | There has been a fertile field opened up’ among people who haretofore have carried little or no insurance what- ever, but who now have the means of carrying substantial . amoun This raises the auestion of how much of the new insurance will remain i is beyond i g such a problem scope of this paper. It takes time,” continues Commis- sioner Mansfield, “to_educate the public in life insurance matters, unless we have striking examples to put forward, such as the -influenza epidemic or the | government instrance plan. If the pres- ent scale of prices should continue, no doubg in time. life insurance would ad just itself to the 50-cent dollar. We can.| not that the workman who has be- me comparatively prosperous and who previously carried a $500 industrial poi- icy but has graduated into the $1,000 or- dinary class, has doubled his insurance because of the shrinkage in the purche ing power of the dollar. He has in- creased his- insurance merely because he has had plenty of money to spend. The man to whom' the argument of a 50- cent dollar is' most ‘likely to make a strong appeal is the salaried_man carry- ing from $10,000 to $50.057 = isurance, He no doubt - appreciates the argument but at the same, time his living costs have mounted while his salary costs have mountcd while his salary has remained nearly stationary, and accordingly he is not' in a position to ‘double his insur- ance. In regard to ‘Increases In premium rates a point to be kept in mind is that the companies doing business in Connec- ticut, are, almost without exception, long established _institutions possessing sub- srantial surplusesisays Mr. Manstiell Tue increae in health premium rates was in nearly all cases attributed to the effect of influenza, although several company officials pointed out that the need for increased rates had been felt for some time, - SHERMAN OLD HOME DAY | + ON STERLING HIL{ FARM (Special to The Bulletin.)
