to E. S. Whitaker, the local agent at Sparta,

Elemental to that giving the standing of the

it now appears to us that the amount of its
Indebtedness at that date for dividends de-

1927, 406.96, leaving, after providing for its
payment and the payment of all annuities

1t appears that the further sum of S525.-

OFFICE OLE THE n. Y. LIFE INSURANCE Co.
New YORK, April 8, 1868.
In the Synopsis of the Standing of Life
Insurance Companies doing business in
Massachusetts,, which appears in the last
Report Of the insurance Commissioners Of
that State, the New YORK LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY is represented as having only
SO and 41-100 per cent. of assets to liabili-
ties (though modification of this is fonud
on subsequent page Of the Report; and
we learn that interested parties are making
use of this statement to the prejudice of this
Company, by imputing to it a much small
er surplus than is possessed by other Com
panies.
The computation of the Commissioners,
however, was based upon an erroneous item
in our Annual Statement to them, which has
since been rectifed; and we have received
from them an official certificate, which is
appended hereto, showing that our ratio of
assets to Liabilities is 129 and 27-10O per
cent. instead of the amount mentioned in
their Report:
This certificate, will, we doubt not, cor
rect any wrong impressions which may have
been received by those who have observed
the Synopsis alluded to.

a communication from the General Agent of

ing the proclivities of said agent, am not
so much surprised at seeing the figures he
gives to show the ratio of assets to liabilities
of the different Companies, as | should be
under other circumstances. presume the
friends Of" (not only ''the late Mr. John
Taylor, y Life Insurance, generally would be
gratitied to have the matter stated in a fair
and truthful aspect, and for the benefit of
such, will you please insert in your paper the
following official certificate of Commissioner
Wright; copy of which was, or had been in
the possession of said Agent when he made
out the statement alluded to. Therefore his
attempt to mislead the public, with the fig
ures he gives, into an erroneous conclusion
is aoiLIt@Iiy wrong. There is plenty of oppor-
tunity to do business without resorting to
misrepresentation. Honesty is the best
