Insurance Volume
Up 80 Per cent
For Local Mutual

Although only 10 additional poll
cies were written during 1862 by
the United Mutual Insurance Co. of
Hancock county, policy coverage dur
ing the past year increased nearly a
million dollars, the annual report of
Secretary James A. Gallant indicated
this week.
Realizing the advance in property
values and the amount of money re-
quired to replace farm properties,
many of the local p~olicyholders
doubled their coverage in 1852, Mr..
Gallant said. ia
The higher value of insurance pol
icies also indicates that farm prop
erty values have increased by the
addition of new equipment and build
ings in recent years.
The mutual company's report shows
a total of 466 policies in force De
cember 81, 1851, for a total value of
$1,996,300. At the close of 1852
there were 476 policies in force for
a total coverage of s2,943,0 900.
The company's balance on hand
also jumped by more than so per
cent, from S10,535.29 at the close of
1851 to $16,085.84 December 81,
1852. Disbursements during the past
year amounted to S 3,633.99 compared
with $2,254.78 in 1851.
Claims totaling $2,085.18 were paid
for fire, lightning and storm damage.
