He listed the as- sets of the company at $83,851.43 and the liabilities at $12,415.60. The expenditures for the. year, including the fire losses paid, amounted to $30,110.75.

Gener- al discussion of the meeting included a suggestion that the agents of the company inspect wiring on the prem- ises of the property to be insured. Some discussion took place on whe- ther airplane insurance, that is com- pensation when property is destroy- ed by the impact of an airplane should be listed as a regular feature. The group put forth two motions asking that the Canadian Underwrit- ers consider the matter, and that the secretary -treasurer learn whether the Department of National Defense holds itself responsible in such cases for damage incurred.
