INSURANCE PROGRESS.

Not the least interesting feature in the good report of the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company is the excellent result achieved in the Fire Department. Some time since it will be rethembered that the working of that department underwent a thorough examination at the hands of the General Manager, Mr. Hugh Lewis, and the results are very striking. In 1925 the profit from the Fire Department was £218,700. In 1926 the figure dropped to £190,952, but it has now come up, for 1927, to £423,652. With the exception of Marine, all departments show improvement for the year, the Accident profit being £100,764 against £78,710, while the Life figures were maintained and General Interest amounts to £507,853 against £472,647.
