Ohio Farmers Insurance Company.

oHtO rdflntTS luSuIduCc CUHi pOhy'
In behalf of some of the policy holders in
this company, we last week addressed a note
to Major J. F. Ogleyee, Au6itor of State,
making inquiries about certain statements
published in the Insurance Journal and
which we published two weeks since. In re-
sponse, Major Oglevee says: ut is not true
as set forth in said extract that ever made a
demand upon the o F. ms company for the
sum of taxes levied upon its reinsurance fund
amounting to, in the aggregate, the sum OF
81, ,903, $40 80. 1t is true that this last named
amount has been directed by me to be placed
upon the tax duplicate of Medina county for
taxation, in which, if | am finally successful.
will cause the company to pay additional
taxes amounting to somewhere near $40. 900,
which will not in the least effect the solvency
.ef the company, for it has good assets aggre>
calling to possibly 81 100000 Maj. Ogleyee
informs us that the Auditor of Medina county
has been restrained from placing the amount
mentioned above on the tax duplicate, and
that the action is awaiting a decision of SIM
liar action in Cincinnati, which is in the
courts, and which has been dec. .ded favOrably
to Maj Oglevee's views in the superior court,
except that the court held that only the taxes
of 1882 could be collected. The whole mat
ter will soon be decided by the supreme court.
and our State Auditor feels confident that he
has taken the right view of the question, land
that the result will he, that there will be add
ed to the taxable property of the State from
two to two and half millions of dollars of
taxable valuation, and that too from corporate
property which can always afford and should
be compelled to pay its full share of taxes
This litigation should not for moment affect
the business of the Ohio Farmers, as believe
it to be one of the soundest companies there
is ia the State"
Our readers can understand from this that
the statement published by the Insurance
Journal was false and misleading. So far as
this matter is concerned, there is nothing in
ii to njure in the least to credit of the Ohio
Farmers! !-Cadiz Sentinel. 1 1S At
