Company will receive a propo-
sition at a meeting to be held
tomorrow afternoon in Judge Dunnes
courtroom at California and Webster
streets of payment of their claims. at
the rate of 20 cents on the dollar.
Ipis proposition. results from the visit
OF Attorney Spence, who appeared for
the company at Milwaukee, when it
was sought to limit the amount that
should be set apart for the payment
or San Francisco losses by invoking
the Wisconsin law to reserve enough
money to provide for the payment OF
all outstanding policies outside Of
those in the burned district In San
Francisco.
The Milwaukee Mechanics Insur-
ance Company engaged the services of
Attorneyf- C.~Coogan some time ago.
Spence came to California to reinforce
Coogan, and, with Coogan. conferred
with Osgood Putnam, chairman OF the
association OF the company's policy
holders. Putnam some time ago Sc
cured stay in the making OF de-
cree that the company desired. act
ing under instruction of the policy
holders. He also, took the lead in or
ganizing the loss claimants.
The united front. against permitting
the company to have its own way un-
disputed has made 1t seem advisable
to the company to see what can be
done here.
Lawyer Spence has followed the
lead OF the majority of the other East
ern attorneys who have come to Cali
fornia since the San Francisco fire
in saying that the total losses in this
city are much greater than was orig
ina1ly supposed, amounting in fact to
s2,S41,000. although the company has
recently declared under oath to The
Insurance Commissioners of New York
that it's net. losses are but S1,362,117. He
has also declared that the company
has but s1,496,0oo to pay its San Fran
cisco losses after taking out safety
fund for the protection of unburned
policies. and has asked policyholders
to sign a non waiver agreement.
Putnam has objected to this de-
mahd and has secured its abandon
ment. But Spence makes an offer of
20 cents on the dollar. This compro
mise is what the policy holders have
mainly to consider. The situation may
bring out full attendance of claim
ants at the meeting. which will be
held at 4 o'clock

Time for Settling the
Local Fire Losses
Close at Hand.
= BsTERDAY Afforded the last
Z enance for thousands of policy
holders to file claims for loss

noiders to file claims for loss
against the insurance COM
panies doing business in this city. The
companies will now be called upon to
pay at least $170. 600, 900 in addition
to payments already made if they deal
tairly with those. who paid premiums
TO them, or adopt such other alter
native as they may see fit and consider
safe.
Some companies that have not an
nounced their intentions may decide
20 quit business here and go out in
disgrace amid general execrations.
thus forming the basis Of an inter-
Yting chapter in insurance history
that will be written in San Francisco
and distributed all over the world.
Others will, undoubtedly. try to wrig-
gle out of paying in full, just as they
have been doing, and will seek to per-
suade policy holders to accept COM
promise settlements during the sixty
days allowed the companies to settle
after the period for filing losses is
over.
GREAT BALANCE Is DUE.
"A few companies have extended the
time for filing losses to September
but more than $50 insurance corpora
tions are now fairly entered upon the
most interesting period of their local
transactions since the San Francisco
fire. What money has been paid out
does not amount. to 5000, 900, and
the companies have furnished the fig
ures of 100000, 600 as the total sum
in which they stood indebted to San
Francisco after the fire. = 1t will be
seen easily that the net Indebtedness
at this time to be treated in some way
Is S150,000,000 at least.
The ma agnitude of this sum of money
and the great resistance offered to
settlements by many companies, to-
gether with the absolute denial of
liability by others. make the situa tion
altogether unparalleled in this or any
other country.
From the s22o,0oo.o0o acknowledged
by the companies to have been lost
in insured property in San Francisco
they deduct as a matter of bookkeep-
ing for reinsurance and salvage. enough
make their net loss in the aggre gate
but s152.000,000, thus taking off a
huge slice OF 100000 900. But that
does not effect the payments that are
due. The sum yet. to be paid exceeds
$3.50 100000.
The following list OF companies. ex-
