FIRE AND FIDELITY INSURANCES AUCKLAND, This Day.—The Auckland Transport Board's Fire and fidelity insurances will be handled by the State Fire and Accident Insurance Department and not by private local companies (except reinsurance), as the result of a decision made in committee and announced by the chairman, the Hon. H. G. R. Mason, at today’s meeting of the Board. Mr J. A. C. Allum strongly protested and moved that the matter be referred back to the committee of the whole Board. He said it was a capricious action. “The public is getting a little tired of this talk of State, State, State all the time. I hold Trial tne State should not be given this business simply because it is the State.” He added that the insurance business at present was shared by 39 local companies. Mr H. A. Anderson supported the protest, and the Hons. Lark and Mason emphasised the savings which the establishment of the State Insurance Otlice brought about. Mr Allum’s motion was lost. —P.A. message.
