AN INSURANCE COMPANY REORGANiZED.
NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN By THE DIRECTORS OF IHE
MuNrAUK COMPANY-GREAT DEPRESSION IN IN
sURANCE RATES.
At "A meeting of the directors of the Montauk In
strance Company, OF Brooklyn. in that city We'd
nesday evening radical change in the manage
I1s nNti. uafF..
Of the president, William Ellsworth, the
secretary, George G. 1rask. and the
Surveyor, Benjamin f. Field, accepted, and
new officers chosen III their places. Daniel +. Fer
maid made PRESIDENT aud Gilbert &. Halsted
secretary; they viii enter upon the duties Of their
offices at The beginning or next month. Mr.. Els
worth, the former president, who has been III the
service OF the company for many years, made
vice-president.
/ he change in the management is said to be due
wholly TO the condition OF the company and TO CON
seQuent crenccs of opinion between the directors
and the officers. President Ellsworth eighty
years DID, and for the last few the actual
management OF the company has devOlved upon the
secretary. Mr. Trask has been active IN extending
the business of The company. but the Increased
risk has not brought satisfactory Increase of
profits. The company had been very successful in
lormer years. aud the loss IN dividends was fest
more keenly on that account. summary cuange
was resolved upon therefore, and the immediate
resignation of tue officers demanded by the
board. The directors attach blame to the secre-
tary. with whom much sympathy express d
yesterday in Insurance circles. The afilrs OF the
company are said to be i'll good condition except
that dividend has been earned.
Low rates OF insurance have led to this change IN
the MOntauk Company, and by insurance men it is
considered probable that Changes in other com
panes will follow. Rates of premium ma re been
reduced ~ a point where III IL not easy for some
nmsanies to pay even their office expenses, and no
remedy has been discovered. Differences III regard
management exist III some OF the companies, and
there directors IN several boards who favor
