. Hanixation Of the District Society OF Au-
Eusta In Connection with the Me- York
Life Insurance Company-An Important
IdOvement.
meeting Of influential citizens was held yes
terLay afternoon at the Augusta Savings Bank.
for the purpose of organ ling the above Society.
When the meeting was called to order, Mr.. w. 5.
Is .dger was chosen temporary chairman.
TIE New England General Manager Of the New
York Life Insurance Company was present, and
explained in detail the various objects sought to
be accomplished by the Society. He called special
attention TO the fact that the recent failures of lite
companies emphasized the importance of the Dis
trict Society in preventing people from being i'm
posed upon by insurance ..bummers." An organ
izaton like this, composed of the leading citizens
and business men of Augusta, and formed in con-
nection with the old New York Life-a Company
of acknowledged conservatism in its investments,
combined with conceded liberality in ell dealings
with its policy holders, would do much to shut out
those wild cat" concerns that swindls the people
by false representations.
The Immediate object sought by the Society, IS
explained by the General Manager consisted in
bringing the system Of insurance to the capacity
of the industrial classes. By the New Practice, Z.
small policy can be kept in force by weekly or
monthly payments. Many poor man who could
not raise fifty dollars for single payment, might
easily pay one dollar weekly, which would secure
for his family one thousand dollars at death.
The gentlemen present had already fsmiliarized
themselves with the plans of the company, and
warmly approved them.
The following is the Board of Trustees of the
Augusta Society, IS constituted at the meeting
Messrs. VIM. X. Smith, H. M: Harlow, W. s.
Badger, Ira d. Sturges. Josiah P. Wyman, s. S.
Brooks, ii. A. Dewitt, E. f. Pillsbury and Ira
Ii. Randall. Dr. H. M. Harlow was elected Pres
ident, WIN. r. Smith and Ira II. Randall, Vice
Presidents.
1t was moved and carried unanimously, that the
following named gentlemen be elected Advisory
Trustees: His Excellency, Gov. Selden Conner,
Ex-Gov. Abner Coburn, Hon. r. d. Rice, Hon.
Samuel Titcomb, Thos. Lambard, Esq, and c.. NJ
