OF
SELF INSURANCE
The insuranec department of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, which
was organized in December, 1917,
was established to centralize all the
, insurance affairs of the corporation
as a unit in the auditing division.
The duties of this department em
brace the administration of all mat
ters pertaining to insurance in con
nection with properties in which the
corporation is interested, as well as
the operation of a scheme of self
insurance in connection with vessels
being built throughout the country.
This plan of self-insurance, com
monly referred to as fund insurance,
also contemplates the assumption
of insuranec risks on plants and
other work undertaken by the cor
poration as owners, including the
manufacture and transportation of
materials where such interests are I
solely at the corporation’s risk.
The principle of se'f-insurance, as j
it applies to properties and vessels!
owned or under construction for the j
Emergency Fleet corporation, was j
determined upon by officials of the
corporation after exhaustive study.
It has always been the practice, in
connection with vessels in under
j course of construction, for an owner
! to require the ship-builder to furnish
insurance of the broadest nature to *
i
protect the owner for cash advances
or other investments made during'
the process of building. This meth- j
od of self-insurance constitutes a j
new departure in protection of ship- j
building risks.
In view of the fact that builders i
are relieved of the necessity of
placing insurance, the risks of build
ing being assumed by the insurance '
fund, a deduction is to be made!
from the contract purchase price,
paid for each vessel equivalent to
the sum that would otherwise have
been paid for the customary insur
ance protection- The sums so de
ducted are to be held in reserve
! to cover any losses which might
occur. I

VAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED BY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
“Help your country”
Says Secretary McAdoo.
“I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
"Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January 1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
