nam i'll speaking of the reasons which
led the insurance department to take
this action said: "Thc Portland Cas-
ualtv Co. is rather a small company
and tie expenses of operation have been
quite large in proportion to the amount
of business done and of late it has
suffered a loss IN the number IF its
policy holders due largely to the Keen
competition from other casualty com
panies and has become somewhat SLOW
in adjusting its loses so that it seemed
best TO the department to ask for the
appointment Of a receiver and have
its business closed up"
