Robertson, had authority to exclude the value of aircraft engines in storage in a separate warehouse from the monthly report of values required by the policy; (2) the date from which interest accrues on any additional sums which may be found due under the policy; and (3) the propriety of granting attorneys’ fees in the absence of statutory authorization.
