Net premium income Of insurance
companies writing workmen's compen-
sation insurance in Wisconsin in 1916,
was $1,783,887.
The third annual report on work.
mems compensation insurance was is
sued by the industrial commission.
Sixty-six per cent of the total was
carried by stock companies, % per
cent by Wisconsin mutuals, 4 per cent
in inter-insurance exchanges, and 2
per cent by foreign mutuals.
Insurance companies paid out for &C
cidents in 1916, $1,289,673, or "a per
cent of the premiums earned. The man.
agement expenses totaled $6,60S, 81.
or 80 per cent of the earned premiums.
This would indicate that the insurance
companies writing compensation in
surance in Wisconsin lost 8 per cent on
their business in 1916.
Deficit Is Offset.
However, the commission in it's re-
port states:
"This net loss of per cent will be
offset to a large degree. and probably
entirely, by the additional premiums
which employers will pay on account
of the greater pay rolls actually ex-
pended than the estimated amount up
on which the advance premiums are
based. This does not apply to each In
dividual company but to the total OF
all companies"
The total management cost Of stock
companies during 1916 was Al per cent
of earned premiums; Of Wisconsin mu-
tuals % per cent; Of foreign mutuals
% per cent, and of inter-insurance ex-
changes 80 per cent.
The report of the commission shows
that the average rate collected upon
compensation risks In Wisconsin In
1915. was $1.22 per 500 of pay roll.
and that the average pure premium
cost was 70 cents.
