□“Insurance Co.
Annual Meeting
The /65 th Annual Meeting of The
Hay Township Farmers’ Mutual
Fire Insurance Company was held
in the Town Hall, Zurich, Monday,
the -29th day of January, 1940 at
2 p.m. The president of the Com
pany W. H. Sweitzer was appointed
Chairman and H. K. Eilber, Secre
tary. The report of the Directors
was read and showing the total
number of .policies in force at the
close of the year to be 209'6 cover
ing risks to the amount of $8,55’5,-
0'70. The total assets of the Com
pany are $64,759.65 of which $52,-
918J0i3 is invested in Bonds and
there is $11,2.65.89 on deposit in
the banks. Due to the small amount
of losses $3,022.22, the surplus of
the company was $6,594.8'5 and the
assets of the company show they are
carrying 75.6c. for every $100.00
of insurance in force. The Directors
were of the opinion that this strong
financial position has been attained
by three underlying reasons, name
ly: Greater care being exercised
•tn connection with fire hazards by
the Policy-holders in general; care
ful underwriting practices being ob
served in selecting and writing risks
and the careful scrutiny of all risks
by the Board of Directors.
An appeal was made to have chim
neys examined and repaired. The
Company had suffered several loss
es from sparks from chimneys and
defective stove-pipes which might
have been avoided if more precau
tions had been taken. A (Slocum
Spark Arrester was exhibited to the
meeting which has been introduc
ed by several companies who have
found the loss of dwellings greatly
reduced thereby.
