terest, nearly $4,000 more were PAID In to inc
company than was taken out in this same KIND
of property: and further, the article OF Factories
took out about 1000 more than they paid IN.

thousands to be insured in Foreign companies.
Perhaps in the classification OF property, the Mu-
tual had made amends still, the people did not
so understands: and for that reason were going
away daily therefore he would establish com.
pany, and retain the money in the State until
the fact of this improvement was understood
