ln view of the present discussion on the question of

fire insiirance the following particulars, taken from the annual report of the Superintendent of Insurance for 1915, will be of interest:

During the year the business of fireinsurance was

transacted in Canada by 88 companies, as compared with 82 companies in the' preceding year. Of thcse_ 25 were Canadian, 27 British, 32 United States and four French. '

Cash received for premiums during the ' year]

amounted to $26,474,833, being less than that received in 1914 by $1,024,325. The amount paid for losses during the year was $14,161,949, _less than that paid in |914 by $1,185,335. The ratio of losses paid to premiums r_eceiy,ed.was.53.49=p_er cent., that for 1914 being 55.81'. H ‘ ~ ' _,_ ` in a tabulation of premiums received and losses paid in Canada during the past 47 years i¢"is shown that these increased respectively from $1,785,539 in premiums and`$1,o27,720 in losses for |869 to $26,474:- 833 and _$i4,'161;949__in 1915. The percentage of los- ses paid to premiums received ranged from 42. to 84. with the exception of two years, 1877 when it amoun- lted to 235.58 and 1904 when it was 107.06. .i It isi)hown__tli'st'during these 47`years an adverse 1_ralance"\vas‘in existence .from 1877 till ‘ftife end"oft #886, due to the_exceptio_nzi circumstances of the 'con- _ilsgrationjn St. john in `th_e`fiTst mentioned year when
