IIFIHE Advantages to be derived by the Public as well as by
the Subscribers from the establishment of a well-regulated
FIRE and LIFE INSURANCE COMPAAY in Liverpool,
managed by a resident Directory, under the immediate control
and identified with the interests of a Local Proprietary, are
obvious.
The immense sums annually paid on Insurances of this de-
scription in Liverpool and its neighbourhood, in which the •
Inhabitants do not participate, the increasing wealth, import-
ance, and population of the town and its adjacent districts, the
recent local improvements in Police, are among the many cir-
cumstances which combine to render the present juncture pecu-
liarly favourable to such an undertaking.
The Rate of Premium on Commercial Floating Policies in
Liverpool, which is now Twelve Shillings per Cent., was up to
the year 1826 charged only at Two Shillings and Sixpence, and
up to the early part of 1533 at Seven Shillings only per Centum.
It has been determined that a Joint Stock Fire and Life In-
surance Company shall be forthwith established, of which the
Head Office shall be in Liverpool, under the name of " The
Liverpool Fire and Life Insurance Company."
That the Capital of the Company shall be £2,000,000, to be
subscribed in 100,000 Shares of £2O each, of which an adequate
portion, to be hereafter determined upon, shall be paid up.
That, in addition to the paid up Capital, a surplus Fund shall
be reserved out of the income to meet emergencies.
That the general objects of the Company will be Insurances
of Property of all descriptions, against Loss- by Fire, Insurances
on LiVes, the Sale and Purchase of Annuities, Reversions, and
contingent Interests, and the Endowment of Children.
The Company will commence in Liverpool, and will extend
its operations to the adjacent Districts, as circumstances may
may admit.
It is not proposed, however, to prefix any definite limits to
the operations of the Company, but that the same shall gra-
dually be extended as widely and generally as may be expedient.
To promote these views, and to create a general and extended
interest in favour of the Company., a considerable number of
Shares will be reserved for distribution by the Directors as the
interests of the Company may suggest.
The affairs of the Company will be under the management of
a Board of Directors of resident Proprietors, (holding not less
than Fifty Shares each,) of whom a third part shall go out of
office annually. being re-eligible.
The Funds of the Company to be vested in resident Trustees.
Auditors being Proprietors (and not being Directors) shall
be annually elected by the Proprietors at large. •
General Meetings to be held, and the Accounts to he stated
and audited annually, and Provisions made for calling special
General Meetings of Proprietors and for declaring Dividends.
The Company to be considered formed, and its operations
to commence so soon as 25,000 Shares shall have been sub-
scribed for.
In order to limit the responsibilty of Shareholders, provision
to be made for dissolving the Company in case one-fourth part
of the subscribed Capital shall be lost.
A Deed of Settlement will be prepared, containing all neces-
sary Provisionsqor the security of the Company and of indivi-
dual Shareholders, and for the efficient conduct and control of
the Company's affairs, and an Act of Parliament to be applied
for, if deemed advisable.
Each Subscriber shall on allotment pay the sum of El per
Share on the number of his Shares, and a further sum of £l.los.
per Share on signing the Peed of Settlement.
Applications for Shares to be addressed (under seal, and free
of postage) to the Provisional Committee, at the Secretary's
Office, No. 8, India-buildings, Water-street, Liverpool, On or
before the 31st March instant, when the appropriation of Shares
will be taken into consideration.
Printed Forms of Application may be had, if desired, at the
Secretary's and Solicitor's Offices.
