In a special Interview with Insurance ' Commiastoner Young, some very inter esting facta regarding the development of the Insurance business in North Carolina companies were ascertained. The increase of the business of home companies is certainly remarkable. . In 18W there were no stork or legal reserve companies of North Carolina's , origin doing business In the State and only one assessment association, the total aaets reported being only $2,530 by these companies, which are life. Now such companies report capital ,." $326,000 ; asset $876,000: business in force $2,238,000: premiums received i' $91,000. The fire Insurance companies - organised In the State make a splendid Showing, showing an increase in capl . - tal during the past four years of $687. 00: assets $2,448,000, suplus $2,200,000; yearly business $32,242,000, Increase In yearly premiums $70,000: Increase in Insurance In force $33,330,000. The Com missioner said that this is a very hand some showing Indeed. He finds that the value of State property upon which Insurance I taken Is $5,180,000, while the total Insurance upon it la only $857,000. He says that really the State ought to carry a great deal more ln aurance. say from 60 to 75 per cent, of the value of most of the buildings, and h will so recommend. For the year ended last April he paid Into the State Treasury $173,000, and during; the Dres- ent fiscal year of his department willJ pay at least tzoo.ooo. Two fire insurance companies, the - North Riven and the Peter Cooper. : both of New York have asked to be -; sent blank in order that they may v enter North Carolina. CATAWBA FARMERS CAinoi'S.
