FIRE SECURITY SMALL.
Speech Shoes 1t Little Larger than
TTenty-fUe Years Ago.

The thirty-eighth annual meeting of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters was held yesterday in
the board rooms in the Mutual Life Building, Pres-
dent Henry H Hall presiding, Fifty-eight COM
panies were represented at the meeting.
President Hall. in his annual address. reviewed the
course of the fire underwriting business in the last
twenty-five years. reaching the conclusion that the
fire insurance companies of the country whole
do not offer to property owners greater secur~
ity than was offered a quarter century age. The
total loss paying ability December 81 last, of all
companies doing business in this State, $177,
36I752 President Hall estimated that since that
date this amount had been depleted by losses and
by Withdrawals from business to the extent OF at
least s27.0OOOO0. leaving the amount available
for payment Of fire losses by all companies doing
business in New York State at S150OO0O00. compared
with s0s, 100000 January l. 1875 Continuing. the
address says in part:
&c. while for 1903 1t was $3.50 The average rate
has increased from $3.50 in 1878 to 1854 in 1903 The
companies has not produced the result the public
has the right to expect yet for the unfavora6le
responsible. The congested districts of the large
tai than the world can supply Outside these dis
triets and the large industrial risks the supply Of
ms capltal Is now ~ excess or a normal demand.
This anomalous condition of affairs IS made more
threatening when hostile legislation is enacted.
Legislation that puts new burdens upon our bust
ness or prevents that measure of cooperation
weak companies from competition, concentrates
further liability upon the companies remaining in
in the large cities and impars the foundations OF
a concentration of business in smaller number
OF companies. and the same time to reduce the
cost TO the insured, and that is by Improvement in
the character Of risks in the large cities especially
in the consested districts. and this can he secured
only by cooperation on the part Of all companies
transaCtng business therein.
The national board has addressed a letter to the
Secretary Of War. asking that its committee now
