The company also paid off a bank loan of several years‘ standing amounting to $20,000. The fire lose in 1934, was $1.35 per $1,000 of insurance, which is almost normal, Mr. Woods said. Directors Comment Director James M. Burnett conâ€" gratulated the company on the excelâ€" lent year just closed. He urged the installation of spark arrestore on chimneys to cut down fire Josses from chimney fires. Leander Bowman, viceâ€"president of losses from coal oil stove, brooder stoves, lamps, torches and defective wiring, $4.452.24, making a total in fire logses of $59,661.72. Use of Fire Arrestors Urged Mr. Woods in commenting on the great lossea through fires started by sparke falling on tinderlike roofe, urged that all farmers install spark arrestors on each chimney of their homee. These spark arrestore, emall wire nettings which fit over the top of a chimney and prevent aparks from flying into the air where they ’mlgm do great damage, are very ‘small in cost when compared with the saving effected. In these times, Mr. Woods said, when firewood is scarce, farmers are burning swamp and dry wood which very readily gives off glowing pleces of wood and large sparke. _ Fire from unknown origing brought ‘loues totalling $6,042.85. Fires from matches _ were $11,000.68; from Chimmey and stove pipes losses toâ€" talled $16,410.55 for 40 fires. Fires from motor care totalled $1,405.80 in losses; from threshing machine, epark on roof, one fire, $4,516.00; and we forget for at the call of time our ahsence will also be recorded. Following the reading of the fnanâ€" clal ptatement of the Company, Manager J. H. Wood remarked brietâ€" ly on some of the more prominent items of the statement. He dealt with the amount paid in fire losses, dividing the losses into 10 divisions. Lightning loases on buildings amount ed to $5,503.73. Lightning losses on livestock totailed $2,032.16, for $6 year. Threshing fires from blowers brought loeses for 3 fires to $5,884.72. In caommenting on this i#tem of the fire losses, Mr. Woods urged that farmere use the new suction spray on the blowers of their threshing maâ€" chines. ‘The device is readily atâ€" tached to the machine and can be done by the farmer himseilf. The cost of the device is $20.00. This new spray would, Mr. Woods hoped, be made compu}sory by statutes of the Province of Outario within a few years. Two lantern fires brought losses amounting to $2,414.00. Mr. Woods exhibited before the meeting a new patented lantern in a emall chamber of which is a small glase tube conâ€" taining a chemical to extinguish any flames that might arise from the lantern. â€" $ 99411.50 $12015.27 $ 16906 2,201.12 Unpaid Losses and Claims: . (a) Losses adjusted, not yet paid $ 5,640.00 Amount of Unearned Premiums on ail Total Net Premium Note Residue $938,852.07 Mortgage Loan on real estate 103,600.00 Cash on Hand and in Banks 4,.261.97 Agents‘ balances uncollected for 1934 1,285.70 Unpaid asscssments levied in 1934 3,652.20 Unpaid assessments levied in prior years (not extended) ..... $745.30 Interest due and accrued 6497 86 Office furniture and fixtures (not extended) $500.00 Book value of real estate outstanding risks carried out at 80% Total Liabilities Total Assets LIABILITIES Blower Suction Spray Used Sam Shantz, one of the directors of the Company, told those present that he had been using the spraying device on his blower for several years and that it had proven itself very satisfactory. Farmers should take into copsideration he said the fact that it is much cheaper to build up a water supply for the device than to build a new barn. Lower Rates increase Losses Harley Stauffer, grandson of the founder of the Company, and a Di rector since 1925, recalled the time when the company wrote business only in Waterloo County. He menâ€" tioned his belief that lower rates would result in an increase of fire losses, as was shown in 1927, when the rates of all fire insurance comâ€" panies fell considerably. The fnanâ€" clal position of the company had imâ€" proved e0 much in the pagt year that he believed the period of normalcy was fast approaching. Urge Compulsory Legisiation Howard Bowman, director, pointed out that the company should obtain all the protection that is possible. and therefore should take the aggresâ€" sive in selling farmers the spark arâ€" restors for their chimneys. One Company in Michigan, he pointed out, refuses a risk if the applicant has not spark arrestors on his house chimneys. This company, he said, might to their advantage, install arâ€" restors on the chimneys of their poâ€" licyholders at a cost of about $8,000. Fire losses through sparks amountâ€" ed to $16.000 this year, and this exâ€" penditure would have been avoided. The arrestors would be the property | heard several complaints of the high |rates of the fire insurance companies ltod-y. These are due, he said, to the high amount of fire losses of several years ago a result of which rates were boosted to pay lomses. After the boosting the amount of fire losses fell considerably. County Clerk Speaks Sam Cassel, veteran clerk of Waâ€" terloo County, expressed his pleasure at the excellent year reported by the Directors of the Company. He was especially pleased by the low figure of the losses this year which made it possible for the company to pay off the $20,000 bank loan and add to the Company‘s Reserve Funds. He recalled the time when the Company wes forced to borrow the $20,000 from the bank, and the bank refused. mortgnge.s held by the company as security, as a result of which the 12 directors were forced to sign the note themselves. He was very proud, he‘ said of the Company‘s financia) poa!-| tion. General Manager of the North Waterloo Farmers‘ Mutual Fire Inâ€" surance Company. J. H.
