than Comstock appointed receiver. The officers
think that the assets will pay all the liabilities OF the
Company. The outstanding risks we und srstand are
some ss 900 OOO and parties insured would do well to
obtain new insurance. The Company has stock
basis of $50 900, of which but small amount has
been paid in. 1t was formerly mutual office, and
among its assets are premium notes given by its then
stockholders, large proportion of which cannot
probably be collected.

lent and safe business The great competition caused
by the great number of new Companies everywhere
starting gradually drew Oft some OF the best agents
and an edtraordinary run of i-uck finally brought
the Company down. We do not know the exact state
of the assets but fear there will not be enough col
lected TO more than pay one-haf the legal demands
against the Company IA there are over 900 notes Tor
small sums from persons in all parts of the State, many
Of which may cost more to collect than they are
worth"
