THE NEW York LIFE INSURANCE CO.-No
official certlfcation could be stronger or more
rratiIyipg than that given to this great corpora
zion by Superintendent Smyth, OF the Insurance
DEPARTMENT New York, published in the Ia
zctte to day. The inquiry has been long, labor
ious and thorough, going patlently into the
numbaress details OF the compapy's business
since the date of its organization. 1t has re-
ouircd the personal services of the Superlntcnd..
emit. deputy, force of Department clerks and
O. forty one gentlemen Of high reputation 10
nri7ato life, whose work was to appralse the
nron,rty owned by the company or held as Sc
cur;tv Nv it. The result is perfectly satisfactory
40 f. titles, values, and 10 oil respects. The
o,sb securities arc declared to be OF the most
uccxceptionasle character aud worth Soeo''
SJ5 TG more tEan their cost. The Superb,
lendept yerifies all the items of liability, real!
aetual or contingent, as swora to by the omcers
in their annual report. Ic praises the mana

The Superintendent having personally, and

dent. siItd by the forces of the Department,
commenced and conn letc a searching exami-
nation into the affairs of the NEW YORK
LIFE INSUHANCE COMPANY OF III, city
of New Y ork, it affords him unquslfad ossure
st being alb q to announce and make public tho
gratifying fact that the result Of this exsmns.
ton is most satisfactory, and that from The data
in possession Of the Department, the soveucy Of
this, or other companies undergoing q similar
test, can be readily ascertaintd at little expense
for many years to come.
This company was orgsn'z,d in 1916. and no
investigation having been msds, either by the
Department or other properly constituted pub.
lie authority, prior TO the date when the Depart
ment was formed, much time has necessarily
been expeId sd to bring the matter to u conclu-
sion.

and forty-nine pieces Of property owned by the
Company amounting in value to the sum Of
So. Sal. sc; which services have been inteli-
gently and efficiently POI formed. The abstracts
Of title TO each and every piece of those large
amounts of property have been closely examined
and reported on to the satisfaction of tbs Super
intendent. All other investments. amounting 10

and evidence Ct payment by the Company,

these payments were mado twenty years ago.
The cash securities of the Company. the cost of
which on the books amounts to 1913 1929 81.
arc of the most unexceptionable character, and
are worth $3.50, 5l5 rs more than cost.
The Superintendent personally examined these
securities, taking the letter, number and denomi.
nation of each security, and preserving the 70.
cord of the same in the Department. In every
instance whore securities had deprecated in
value, such depreciation had been promptly
charged to pre- II. and loss account, and all items
