CHARLESTON, w. VA, February s.
No one here knows anything about the
assignment of the Protection Fire In
surance Company, OF Charleston, w.
Va. The main Office of the company is
in Chicago and all the stock is held
there. Charles A. Russell was its
President William III. Lohmeyer, Of
this city, was secretary of the company
up to January 1, 1894, when he resigned.
His principal reason for resigning was
that the company was not member OF
the Board of Insurance Underwriters.
The company was not licensed to do
business in any State except in West
Virginia. Its license to do business in
this State expired on the 3lst day OF
ber, 1898, and the company did
not take out license for another year.
It's losses were very heavy last year
but it's Secretary states that
every dollar is paid. Its failure to take
out license for another year indicates
that it was in & bad way and was un-
able to carry on the business Of in
surance. The regular insurance COM
panies for which Lohmeyer was agent
here we're unwilling that he should be
connected with company that was not
a member Of the Board of Underwriters.
