an article entitled The Necessity OF Special Leg.
Islation for Life Insurance Companies" reviews
briefly the recent action OF the superintendent OF
insurance OF the State OF New York, In compelling
two companies to surrender the management Of
theiralrars; and also speaks OF the PROBABILITY
OF "several Of the younger companies not being
able to pass the rigid examination to which they
are being subjected by the superintendent, who

comfortable state Of affairs, and we are glad to
have O set or from the Herald In the following
sentence: Companies OF ten or twelve years
standing are for the most paft In good dcontitiOA,
and policy holders in those which have ewatchfully
looked after their reserve funds need have no
fears. Officers who have successfully managed
companies for ten. seventeen, or twenty eight
years, like the Knckerbocker and certain other
old companies, shave sufficient experience and
well established regulations to insure their CON-
panles against being wound up by the superin.

agents OF the KnckerhocSer In this State.
