Where the assent of the insured to the appropriation of the money to be paid in satisfaction of any loss that may occur under the policy is indorsed on the application for insurance or survey of the property insured, it shall constitute a part of the application or survey, and be sufficient authority to the company for the issuance of the policy in the manner therein prescribed.
