The Fire Insurance Debate and a City Ruinous Fire
P W Flixpatrick argues since 1860 insurers have paid vast sums while coverage lags. He cites $3 622 000 000 paid to date and $2 610 885 000 in the last ten years, with $16 000 000 in premiums and $5 000 000 paid losses. He claims insurance protected little against a city fire that destroyed roughly $350 000 000 in property and inflicted nearly a billion dollars in business losses, requiring $12 000 000 to clean up and potentially $400 000 000 more and twenty years to rebuild.
