£- “a Western Assurance W I â€".â€"â€"â€"¢ summits MEETING. The forty-first annual meeting of the Share- holders of the above Company «was held at its cfllcee in this city at noon yesterday. . Mr. A. M. Smith, president. occupied the chair and Mr. J. J. Kenny. managing director. was appointed to act as secretary to the meet- n9- Thc sea-clan read the following: Annual Report. The Directors beg to submit herewith their Annual Re rt showing the transactions of the Company or the past year. to ether thh a statement of its assets and lia ilities on lilst December last. The premium income. it will be observed. was 158.2615, after deducting the amount paid or reinsurance, and the receipts for inter- est on investments were $13,732.18. Although no serious conflagrations have oc- curred durin tlle ear. fire losses. both in Can~ ads. and the all States. have been unusual- ly numerous and severe. bringing the ratio of losses to premiums considerably above the average of ordinary years. . In the Marine Branch the volume of business has been somewhat less than in 1890. but the year's transactions have resulted more satis- factorily. _ While the rofit balance of $40,120.67 is much less than tlla shown in the preceding Annual Balance Sheet, your Directors feel that. in view of the unfavorable results of the fire business for the year 1891 to Companies generally. there is cause for congratulation in the fact that the excess of income over expenditure. with the balance at the credit of Profit and Loss Ac- count, enabled them to pay two half-yearly divi- dends at the rate of_ ten per cent. per annum up. on the paid-u capital. without drawin upon the Company 3 ample Reserve Fund of $ ”0.000. The amount estimated as necessar to re-in- sure, or run ofi‘ all existing risks. is $78,654.19. Deductiiig this from the total surplus funds of the Company. a net. surplus of $325,527.17 is shown over capital and a lothcr liabilities. One important result from the generally ad- verse experiences in fire underwriting for the year 1801 has been the withdrawal ofa number of Companies from the business. The risks of those retiring Companies have been assumed by other and stronger Companies, so that in no case have the policy hol ers been sufferers; while the terms on which the businesshas been taken over have. in most instances. been such as will permit the winding up of the Compan- ies without loss to stockholders. The natural effect of these withdrawals will be the concen- tration of the business among a smaller number of olllcee. and concerted action. where neces- sary, to place-it upon a lnore satisfactory basis. These movements. with a return to a normal loss ratio..wllich may be reasonably looked for, must eventually result favorably to the Com- panies remaining in the field.
