[Footnote 237c-3: In Galenberg-Grubenhagen only the
_Bauerhöfe_ subject to the common burthens were obliged to
enter, in Hildesheim, all houses subject to taxation; in
Darmstadt all house-owners who were allowed only a _dominium
utile_. In Kurmark, the subjects of the estate might be
compelled to enter by their lords, but could not be kept
out. Of Prussian companies in 1846, entrance was compulsory
only in those of East Prussia and Posen. In Würtemberg
compulsion since 1773; confirmed in 1853. Also in Zurich,
Jan. 24, 1832; in Schaffhausen Nov. 27, 1835. In Berne, only
for state, municipal and mortgaged houses; for the latter
only so far as it was not expressly left to the creditor.
Introduced into Baden in 1807, after most of the parishes
(_Gemeinden_) had voluntarily accepted it; confirmed in
1840. The provision that at least no judicial hypothecation
should be made on an un-insured house is found in the
Darmstadt law of 1777, § 13, and in that of Mainz of 1780,
art. I, § 15. _Rau_, Lehrbuch, II, § 25 a., finds compulsion
in the case of property in common and in that of property
belonging to other persons very appropriate. It is a matter
worthy of thought, that, in cities like Berlin, Breslau,
Thorn and Stettin, compulsory fire insurance is still
retained. In Upper Silesia, the abolition of compulsory
provisions has had for effect to cause 52 per cent. of all
buildings to be insured. (Press Zeitschr, 1867, 329).]
[Footnote 237c-4: Question of introducing state insurance
into Hungary. As a cultured land, and one rich in capital,
is better adapted to insurance, it would be folly to
"emancipate" ones self from Trieste, etc. in this respect.
But, on the other hand, only state-insurance can attract the
Hungarians and make them feel universally the want of
insurance. A reconciliation of these opposing views might be
effected by compelling the peasantry to insure their farm
houses, and allowing complete liberty in the cities and with
reference to movable property.]
