Book Description

Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report of the Insurance Commissioners of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, January 1, 1863, Vol. 1: Marine and Fire Insurance It is quite apparent from this that the companies, on the whole, suffered much more severely from fires in 1862 than in 1861. The losses were also less evenly distributed. There were not only a much larger number of companies which last year paid more for losses than they received in premiums, but the net losses of the year were much larger to several companies than any experienced in the previous three years. The fol lowing table shows the number of stock companies that have made net losses, putting expenses out of the account, in the past four years, the aggregate premium receipts, losses and net losses of said companies in each year, and the largest net loss of any company.
