Emportant Session of Meads to Act on Insurance Questions
Hartford reports a national conference of insurance commissioners in New York. Theodore H. Macdonald, vice president of the National Convention, notes about 20 states represented and a key adoption of a uniform liability reserve method. The new approach, influenced by early 1900s reforms and the Travelers Insurance company, aims to standardize reserves and reduce misleading calculations. The measure, if in effect last year, would have boosted reserves for local companies to about 618 million dollars, supporting regulatory positions on surety and examination costs.
