HEAVY INSURANCE LOSS.
Wreck of Titanic Costs American Firms
Millions.

Interesting figures compiled by the
Insurance Field show that American
insurance companies will probably have
to pay insurance aggregating So, 1913 900
and accident insurance of 1928, 900 as
a result of the sinking of the Titanic
off the Grand Banks. On top of this
the marine insurance is estimated at
$10,000,000 so that the total liability
of the American companies is in the
neighborhood of $14,406,OOO.
"Nowhere in the annals of insurance
is there a PARALLEL says the Insurance
Field, "for the loss of insured life and
property occasioned by the sinking of
the ocean liner. There may have been
greater losses of life and property, but
never under conditions covering so
many classes of insurance, life, acct
dent and marine.''
