Town Fire Insurance Companies. There are fifteen organizations in the State, viz., in Barnstead, Candia, Canterbury, Dunbarton, Hollis, Lyndeborough, Milford, Northwood, Pembroke, Piermont, Strafford, Sutton, Unity, Weare, and Windham. The number of polices now in operation, is 2,292, amount of risk, $2,136,460; losses for the year 1872, $ 2,116 ; expenses, $ 845.28. This would be about $ 1.90 per year on $1,000 worth of property insured, or less than one per cent. for every five years.
Home Mutual Fire Insurance Companies. The Commissioner says of these Companies : "It must be apparent to the most casual observer, that a majority of them are dragging out the last thread of a weak and precarious existence. One or two considerable fires, to which they are hourly exposed, must inevitably crush them out."
New-Hampshire Fire Insurance Company. E. A. STRAW, Pres- ident, JOHN C. FRENCH, Secretary. Actual Cash Capital, $ 200, 000. Whole number of polices in force, in 1872, 9,200 ; amount of risk, $ 10,217,200; amount of loss by fires, and other expenses, $ 60, 557.31; amount of receipts in the same time, $ 65,904.49. They lost by the Boston Fire, in November 1872, $ 8,500. The whole amount of joint stock or guaranteed capital authorized, is $ 500,000.
Foreign Fire Insurance Companies. There are about fifty com- panies doing business under the laws of the State. The total amount of premium receipts, for 1872, was $ 432,571.63. The amount of losses by fire, and marine disaster, was $ 269,914.78, leaving a balance of $ 162,556.85, for expenses and interest on Capital.
At the first glance this large surplus looks like the man placing in the contribution box one cent, for the benefit of the heathen, and five more to defray the expenses in administering the benefit of the cent to him. But these large premiums are exacted to guard against devastating fires, such as visited Chicago and Boston, within the past two years. But if all the cities and towns in New- Hampshire were burned down, the loss would not be much larger, than the loss caused by the great fire in Boston. No doubt but the premium on risks in large cities like Boston and New York, should be much higher than in the smaller cities and towns in the country, and it appears a little hard for people living in these small cities and towns to be charged to pay these heavy premiums, to

save the various Fire Insurance Companies from loss caused by such fires as occurred in Chicago and Boston.
Life Insurance Companies. The number of life insurance com- panies licensed to do business in New-Hampshire, is thirty-two. They have grown to large proportions in this State, and are con- stantly increasing through the heavy outlay in advertising, and the untiring zeal of their agents.
The whole number of life polices, now in force in this State, is 10,000; amount of risks, $ 14,754,725 ; amount of premiums receiv- ed, for the year 1872, $ 703,510.37 ; amount paid on losses and en- dowments, $161,123.71, leaving a balance of $542,386.66. The expense of agents with their clerks, is about $54,000, annually, which makes the large sum of nearly $ 500,000 that is sent out of the State, more than what is received through loss of life, and interest on premiums. The amount of money which is sent out of the State annually, through fire and life insurance business, is over $ 600,000 more than what is received from fire and life risks. This allows over $ 100,000 for expenses to manage the business in this State alone. This large amount of money would pay the annual interest on the whole State debt, and defray the expenses of the State gov- ernment every year.
It is to be hoped that the people of this State will look at this question candidly, and establish and sustain institutions of this char- acter belonging to their own State, and retain this vast amount of money at home. No one doubts the practical benefit of both of these institutions, and their necessity, but we are loth to believe there is any need of annually sending out of the State, $ 600,000 more money than is received, to secure the blessings of these insti- tutions, which can be sustained in our own State, through the effi- cient agents now working for these foreign Companies.
