INSURE AGAINST
ENEMY ATTACK
Big Concerns i'm New York Have
Taken Out Large Number OF
War Risk Policies.

The big gas and electric lighting
companies of New York have arrang-
Cd for insurance of excess of $4,000,
air or the sea and other forms of war
risk
Forty million dollars worth of the
total insurance has been taken by the
Consolidated Gas Company whose
plant comprises one OF the most valu-
able properties in the city. From
$7.00O!000 to $1O,OOO.OOO has been
taken by the New York Edison Co.
$6,00O,000 Is said to have been taken
by the United Electric Light and
Power Company, although the cor
rectness of this sum could not be
confirmed yesterday at the com
pany's offices.
The form Of policy usually written
in these risks has two clauses. The
first covers explosion from causes not
originating within the plant, such as
bomb placed by an enemy alien or
striker. The war risk clause which
ts the more expensive applies to dam
age from war, invasion, insurrrec-
ton, riot, civil war, civil commotion,
including strikes, military or usur-
ped power. bombardment, whether
naval or military, including aerial
craft (hostile or otherwise), bombs,
shells. or missiles dropped or thrown
from or discharged thereat.
In their decision to insure against
loss from enemy attack, the big light
ing companies have followed the ex-
ample of number Of other large
New York concerns who since the
outbreak Of the war have insured
themselves against invasion to an ex-
tent estimated by Howard P. Moore,
assistant secretary OF the Home In
surance Company, at close to $780,
100000.
The number of applicationss for
this form Of protection coming to the
insurance companies has been con-
stantly increasing the past few
weeks. Mr.. Moore ventured that
there were at least dozen concerns
in New York carrying from $1,000
600 to s5.0O0,0O0 in war risks.
