Losses To Hgtfordm
Companies rout
Hurricane 31,500,000
Net losses to Hartford insurana
companies arising from the recent
Florida tornado will not exceed 81:
000,000 in the aggregate. according
to estimates made yesterday by in-
surance executives. Figures now in
hand are the basis of this expecta-
tion and it is hoped that the total
will even be less. Laud titles in Flor-
ida are in such condition that diffi-
culties in adjusting losses are arising
and attachments are being placed
on insurance claims in some cases.
President Bissell of the Hartford
Fire said yesterday that the settle-
ment of losses is being made diffi-
cult and delays in making final pay,
snout are arising because of the alt-
uatlon as regards property titles. In
all his experience he never before
encountered so much oonfudon. he
said. ‘
Following is a tabulation of
amounts of net losses within which
some the companies hope and expect
to make settlements:
