From returns received by the State in
surance commissioner ii appears that s69,-
s43.I55 of fire, and S6.1713,9i9 Of marine
and inland risks were written in Maine dur
ing 1855. The premiums were 1888 ,4sS
for fire, Sl96,1113 for marine and inland in
surance. The losses paid we're s539,652 for
FIRE and Sl17 $40 for marine and inland
risks. The ratio Of loss to the premiums
was nearly IS per cent. on fire. and frac-
ton over 80 per cent. on marine and in
land. Last year the loss vas about y per
cent. of the premiums on fire, and so on ma
rine and inland business.
TIE volume of insurance this year is
about 90 900 900 smaller on marine and in
land. The premiums received are nearly
81 900 larger on fire and Sl50,000 smaller
on marine and inland, while the losses are
about $50 900 less on fire and S9S 900 less
on marine and inland. The principal
difference in marine and inland insurance is
caused by the retiring of the Merchant
Marine, CT Bangor. This statement does
not include risks written by local mutual
fire companies.

The State Prohibitionist convention

the next State legislature the submission to
the people at the next election of an amend
ment to the constitution, forever prohibiting
the manufacture for sale, giving away and
sale of all intoxicating liquors as beverages,

Supplement to Mayor Redman's Report

Last week We extended the usual courtesy
due to the city officials and published the
Report Of Mayor on Proposition of Kinds.
Mofiett & Co., to furnish city with water and
review of the doings of the Board of Al
dermen for the year" We have no attack
TO make on the members of the city govern
ment, but desire to treat them, each and all,
with the utmost courtesy. We do desire.
however, to supplement, Mayor Redman'
report with few additional facts and figures,
which We should have done last week had
time permitted.
The central idea, and as far as We can see.
the only one, is to show the taxpayers how
much the public debt has been reduced dur
ing the two years Of Mayor Redmans adj
minlstrstion There are other matters that
invite criticism, but We confine ourseli to
the main issue.
The payment of certain notes Of the
amount he has named We do not question,
but, if, by the payment Of them, be has
contracted other debts, or leA debts unpaid
that should have been pad, or if without au-
thonty or precedent made use Of other neces-
sary appropriations for this purpose, that
fact should have place in our supple
meni."
The general financial condition as it now
exists as compared With the same two years
ago is what We are all Interested in. and as
We understand ii, this is the question raised
by the MAYOR.
Upon referring to the annual report two
wears ago we find IN the balances carried for
ward to new account at the close of the f.
nsncia year the sum of S22s6 20 TO the
credit Of the contingent. : 1902 so debt ac-
count. Sl0la.l0 interest, and other balances
of smaller amount, No appropriation was
overdravn CT exhausted. This is matter
that all taxpayers have an especial interest
in. At the close Of the financial year in
February the accounts are closed and the
balances carried forward to the new account.
Inmates for the new appropriations. II the
balance is large, the appropriation may be
sma,l-if there be no balance The appropria-
ton must be made for the fuli amour, re-
CURED. For instance, the balance to the
credit Of the contingent account at the close
OF 1883 was S22s6 20 The appropriation
for 1881 was -. 300 which seemed uunece>-
sarily large at the close Of the wear the BAL
anoe as reported Was Sl275.J0. but in rraii-
~ was only S297. &c consequent the ap-
preparation for 1885 must be the foil amount
that in the judgment Of the Mayor aud A.
dermen would be required FOR that wear
and $1,000 was appropriated.
So it will be seen that in all cases small
balances must be followed by large appro-
priations and high taxes. We are told that
the appropriations for the last wear are all
exhausted.
Two years ago at the close OF the financial
year there was due from the collector Tor am

TO suppose that a wrong impression pre-

for those notes are not security against
