WAR RISK INSURANCE
DELAYS IN PAYMENT COMPLAINTS BY IMPORTERS (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Feb. 5. Complaint about the delay in the payment by the British Government of war risk insurance on goods lost at sea was made at a meeting of the council of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. , , „ . The secretary (Mr Bardsley) said he knew one firm which had goods in a ship which was sunk. A fresh consignment was also sunk, and this film had to meet the bills twice, and now a third draft was due for payment by the firm. There was still no sign, however, of the British Government paying out insurance on the two cargoes lost, for which premiums had been paid. Other members of the council reported similar cases, and it was decided to suggest that the Associated Chambers of Commerce should confer with a view to securing a plan for a uniform procedure.
