creased
That the invested funds of the Company
amounted to 1,417,808 8 4
In reference to the very large increase of £76,000 in the
Fire premiums of the year, it was remarked in the Report,
The premiums paid to a company are the measure of that
company's business of all kinds ; the Directors, therefore,
prefer that test of progress to any the duty collected may
afford, as that applies to only a part of a company's business,
'and a large share of that part may be, and often is, re-insured
with other offices. In this view the yearly addition to the
Fire premiums of fly! Liverpool and London Company must
be very gratifying to the proprietors."
SWINTON BOULT, Secretary to the Company.
