Rough Notes.

Rough Notes.
During 1886 the fire insurance companies
lost s2,17019 on their trading with Indian
apolis, but having $21s.17 to their credit at
the close of 1885, their net loss at the close
of 1886 was brought down to $1,952.02. In
1887 the companies made a trade profit of
S3S, $685. which overcame their net loss on
the previous two years's business and left
them 6,904.s0 to the good at the close Of
1887
There was nothing discouraging in the
situation at that date, but In 1883 the COM
panies, on a premium income OF 500. ALB,
lost s749.3s9, which. with s1lo.5532e expenses
incurred. caused them to pay out ss5s. s52 rs
and left them s5l3,63445 behind in their
trading account with the city for the four
years 1sS5-lsSS. inclusive. That loss bal
ance was steadily increased during the
next three years. as follows: 1889. by s5.-
ss32s; 1890. by s37.s2s.lo: 1891. by sl24ll5.5S.
when the companies had lost s72i.2s5.i2 in
seven years 1ss5-lSs1. inclusive. During
1892 premium receipts on fire insurance
reached 100000 for the first time in the his
tory OF the city, an increase OF $l3o,2l over
companies realized sic. 1854 Il more than their
expenditures reducing their net loss since
1885 to $705.0S0.65. During 1893 and 1894 the
premiums collected from the city afforded
sufficient revenue to pay losses and ex-
penses with s217.213.40 and sl34,3S5 for the
two respective years to spare. and the bal
ance of net loss of the companies was re-
duced to $353, % The year 1885 made a
record of 1919. 4l1-s1 losses and expenses
against S5S2. 200 premium receipts. throwing
the balance against the companies up to
