TWO INSURANCE COMPANIES FIND THAT BusI
NESS IN SAN FRANCISCO DOES NOT PAY.
Two Brooklyn insurance companies. the Con-
tinental and Phenix have recently abolished their
general offices In San Francisco This action is
practically equal to a withdrawal Of the two COM
pancs from business in the extreme West The
reason given for the abandoning Of the Western
business by the companies Is that on the Pacific
Coast the building laws are defective. and that
they subject insurance companies to risks which the
Eastern men do not care to take. A number OF
Eastern companies have had their attention called
to the condition OF affairs the Pacific Coast and
are likely to follow the lead Of the Brooklyn com
panies.
The Continental Insurance Company about a
month ago closed its offices in San Francisco. and
transferred its business to Chicago. representa-
tive Of the Phenix Insurance Company Is now In
the West arranging for the withdrawal OF that COM
