8800.850 English Loan.
“Another largo loan rcpaynient
was’ made in December. 192'. and
it was discovered that the company
had borrowed from C. '1‘. Bowring
& Co.. l.td.. of London. England.
3450.500 on December 8. 1922: 8212.-
500 on Déccmbor 81. 1023; and
0140.800 on December 01. 1024. In[
lccnslueratlon. C. T. Bowring at Co.
lhad received a. favorable contract
for the placing of all excess relu-
surance desired by the three com-
panies in the Actna group. None of
these payments was charged to bor-
rowed money. but all were used as
credits to ocean merino reinsurance
losses. fire commissions and com-
missions cn various other lines. The
loan: were reduced by collections of
old claims from foreign reinsurers
and various foreign salvage items
which were paid directly to Bow-
ring [by the company's collection
ages. We find that these calico-
tions did not go through the books
at all. but the company kept a.
memorandum of the balance due
Bowring.
"On December 81. 1922. the bal-
ance was 842t.987.80: on December
81. 1923. It was “08.048.38: on Dec-
ember 31 1924. it was $524,987.71.
None of these balances were carried
as a liability In the respective en-
nuai statements.
“On December 80. '925. the com-
pany cabled Bcwring tho amount of
$185,131.84 and credited that so-
connt. in its agents' balances. with
il'lf.871.ii‘f. thus liquidating the
three loans. The payments were do-
bltcd to ocean marine losses and var-
ious commission accounts. The rc-
payments exceeded the loans by
531.183.69 due to tho diffcronco in
foreign exchange.
In the balance sheet in this re-
port. we have property shown these
two transactions.
LlainllIl-e tndcrsmtcd 07.215.314.32
Tho underatatoments of liabilities
related especially to the unearned
premium reserve and tho unpaid
losses.
"The unearned premium reserves
were stated in the annual report as
811.402.208.30. Correctly stated the
amount should have been $18.8“.-
$21.80.
“Tho ocean marine losses were re~
ported as 81.615.007.30. We state
them as 80.188.678.00. All other un-
paid losses were reported as $8.409.-
295111. We find them to have been
86.098.486.53.
"When it. noclmo evident how so-
rious had been the delinquencies of
some of those engaged in the service
of the Automobile Insurance com-
pany Edward D. Robbins was espeo
chilly retained as legal counsel of
this department to aid In the inves-
tigation of the affairs of the com-
9301'-
hlr. Robbins examined under oath
al men who wero disclosed as re-
aponslblc for‘tho condition of the
company's affairs and for the oilidlal
misstatements of Its financial condi-
tion.
“Mr. Robbins also spent consider-
able time In Loudon. investigating
the nature of the extensive and un-
profitable businen done by the com-
pany through London. with a view
especially to the estimation of the
very large amount of.etlll outstand-
ing liabilities erising out of that
business.
“Eh-om this investigation it clearly
emerged that those in actual con-
trol of affairs had been set upon
getting as large a volume of busi-
ness as possible. and that under the
ntimulous of this desire the; had en-
tered into many treaties and con-
tracts which thoy should have seen
to be improvidcnt. and which result-
ed In excessive louse. They had
agreed to pay unreasonably large
commissions. They had placed the
writing of policies under the control
of organisations whose main interest
lay in doing a large business for the
sake of commissions. and reletlvcly
little in securing basins. which
would be safe or profitable.

Disastrous Business
"Moreover. in 1023. when those ur-
rengements were made. it would
have been possible for underwriters
of sound Judgment to fur ecu that
the immediate future of a marine
insurance business was not so prom-
ising as to warrant extensive en~
gegemonts. There was going on a
great fall in the values of ships. and

Scope of Examination
"This cxmnilmlion has included an.
investigation of the organization and
pmvcrs of the company and of its at-
fuirs during the lli'l‘lilli from Decom-
bcr 31. 1921. to December 31, 1925.
and has involved some consideration
of transactions of 1026 which were
found to throw light on tho. :lffuirn
of that period. ‘

der the amended charter of the
Msnufaciurcrs' Fln- and Marine Ine

to an amount not exceeding 35.000.-
000 was authorized. In 1915. the
capital was increascd to 31,000,000?
