Congregational Fire Insurance Directors Explain Stand
Directors explain the scheme begun by the Congregational Union of England and Wales with Rev. J C Gallaway in 1869. A Guarantee Fund of 20000 pounds was raised but churches offered limited responses, leading to no further action for private dwellings. The board declined to insure private homes, citing little denomination support, though praised Gallaway for his work on statistics, fund, and organization. Directors and locations listed: Sheffield, London, Leeds, St Ives, Halifax, Ipswich, Swansea, Manchester.
