Had Made Since 1904
Disastrous Year.

New York, May 10.-The San Fran
cisco conflagration of April 1906
swept away not only every dollar Of
profit previously made by the insur-
ance companies out Of underwriting
snce 1860, but cost them s79,7OS,1 liza
besides, according to a statement
made by President George W. Burch-
ell Of the National Board Of Under
writer's In the annual meeting Of that
organization here Thursday Presi,
dent Burchell said carefully COM
piled figures showed the total proper
ty loss by the catastrophe to have
been in round numbers $350,000,000
The loss Of 243 insurance companies
was $175,50S,530, and in addition to
this there was large amount Of re-
insurance In foreign companies which
would make the total loss to insurance
companies throughout the world be-
tween $220,OO0,OOO and $225, 100000.
1.-THE severe test upon the insurance
interests can only be appreciated by
the companies themselves" said Pres
ident Burchell, land 1t is remarkable
that so few of them were compelled
to retire from business. After the
Chicago fire over 80 joint stock fire
insurance companies went into liqui-
dalton and many more after the Bos-
ton fire the following year, whereas,
only twenty-and number of these
afterward resumed-are reported to
have suspended after the San Fran
cisco fire, Notwithstanding the extent
Of the loss, amounting to sum as
large as the aggregate Of all the great
conflagrations In the United States
for the last 50 years."
President Burchell said the year
1906 was the most disastrous In the
history Of fire insurance. The under
writing balance sheet for the year,
marine and fire bhanches together,
showed loss Of over $114,00O,000. In
New York state alone 1865 companies
