Crime Laid to wnr Aftermath.

Insurance men believe the increase in
burglary and theft Is the result of the re-
adjustment following the war. 1t is gem
eral increase and does not apply to any
special kind of crime more than another.
but 1920 was a far worse year than
1919"
Mr.. Joyce added the losses applied to
all States In which the companies trans
act business, and that crime was appar-
emily on the increase in other cities as
wen as in New York. He declined to
discuss figures beyond saying that dur
ing 1919 the total gross losses on bur-
glary and theft insurance were S2,300,-
600. and that 1920 figures would be still
greater
1t was said that the companies are
losing money since the crime wave be-
came acute at the rate Of 20 per cent
in excess Of their premium receipts.
Represented at the meeting, which
wae held In Mr.. Joyce's office were the
following companies: American Surrey.
Aetna Casualty and Surety Employers
Liability, Fidelity and Casualty. Fidelity
and Deposit. Globe Indemnity, Hartford
Accident. London and Lancashire, Mary
land Casualty. National Surety. New
Amsterdam Casualty, Preferred Acci-
dent, Royal Indemnity, Ocean Accident
and Guarantee, United States Casualty
and United States Fidelity and Guar
anty. Besides the executive heads OF
these companies the managers of the
burglary insurance departments were
present.
Only twelve hours before the meet
ing took place Police Commissioner En-
right, In an address before the Merchants
Trucking Bureau Tuesday night, as
serted he is certain there is no crime
wave-that II Is an Invention There
was less crime In this city in December,
1920. than in December. 1917. he said.
Recently the Commissioner issued a
statement In which ne said his figures
show there were fewer burglaries In
1920 than in previous years. In reply
TO the question whether an increase In
burglary insurance rates was justifable,
Mr.. Enright was quoted as saying:
ct have had an interview with the
secretary Of one OF the casualty COM
panies since I returned and he assures
me that there has been no recent IN
crease on burglary insurance except 20
cents a thousand on policies for less
than $1,000. On the other hand. there
has been an increase in Detroit. Cleve-
land, Toledo and Chicago. This speaks
very well for crime conditions In New
York"
Later Mr.. Enright referred to the So
called crime wave as lust n little
furry"
Criminals desire money to celebrate
the holidays" he said. "They want to
buy presents for their girls. hope the
little furry we are having will subside
when the holidays pass"

was said.
Until the present intolerable condi-
tions improve" Mr.. Joyce said after the
meeting 1.-The companies must put into
effect fundamental change In the form
OF policy It may surprise the public to
learn that the burglary insurance COM
panies are losing money on the present
