The Tokyo› Kiinal "Zeszki, writing with re-i ference to this subject, remarks that although' 'much passimiam is entertained by some people) owing to the increase and extension of the Are insurance companies and the failing-off in the premium rates there is nothing to warrant such pessimism. Of course the number of buildings 'will not increase at the same ratecatswhich insurance companies are increasing, but with the diffusion among the people of the, idex of the pecerity of fire, insurance,,contracts wit! increase ja auch numbers as to make the business sufficiently remunerative. The collec tion of premiums by one of the leading.com- panies for 1994 amon led to V1,800,000 which fell off to Y1,300,000.for. 190g,. Since July, last, however, the number of contracts has so much. Increased that the receipts of premiums hare, shown an increage of Yopoo compared with the corresponding period of last year, and it is anticipated that the company's collection of premiums for this year will show an increment of Yas0,000 to 300,000 as against the average receipts. Further, the gradual increase of large and substantis! bulldings wilf widen the deld for the joint insurance by two or more com. panies. At present the total number of build. logs insured in Tokyó does not exceed 100,000 and therefore there is much room for develop.
