THE INSURANCE PROBLEM
G. II. Palmer Advocates Patience and
Conservative Action on the Part
of All POlicyhOlders.

When asked regarding the probable effect
of the San Francisco conhagration upon
IRE insurance companies @. II. Palmer OF
II. Il. Palmer, Son & Co., replied: 1T is too
early to say with any degree Of exactness
what companies will be seriously embar-
raised by the fire. In all probability It will
be week at least before any accurate esti-
mates OF the Individual losses of companies
can be made. In the meantime the assured
should be patient. The larger and stronger
companies can pay their losses out OF sur
plus. Many others will exhaust all their
surplus probably before their losses are
paid In full, but without doubt the stock
holders viii respond as they have before
this by subscribing any deficit Companies
that have been doing a large and, prior to
this calamity, profitable business will
protect their plant even IL the fire should
wipe out all of the surplus they now COM
mand, and the insuring public should wait
until full and accurate Information Is at
hand before refusing the policies Of COM
panies heavily involved but not necessarily
out Of business. II will be well for insurers
10 consult their insurance brokers, who will
keep them fully posted as 20 developments.
one thing is certain-this fire illustrates
fully the value and the necessity of a large
surplus.
As 10 the San Francisco companies, the
worst feature in respect to them is that
they hold among their assets large amounts
OF California securities, but. as stated
above, they have large and valuable agency
plants which they may be expected to make
every sacrifice to protect"
