COMFORT FOR POLICY HOLDERS


An ERsy Lesson in Life Insurance.
From statements printed in the Keene
papers last week it appears that the de.
funct Granite State Mutual Aid association
had on hand Sept LIST So 900 Of approved
death claims and Slj, 900 of uuapproved
claims. The resources 10 pay these claims
with consisted Of prospective double as
sessment which would Weld say $40, 900 an
emergency fund Of SEQ. 600 and a mortuary
fund of $1,000. That is, with all its assets
used up the company would still have been
SlO,OOO To S2I, 900 in debt, unless another
double assessment had been levied and
could have been collected or, in other
words when new business stopped coming
in there was nothing TO pay death claims
With the money Of the new men going to
pay for the dead ones Whether these
death claims are paid depends, it AppeArs
ON whether 1000 Of the policy holders take
out transfer policies in the Massachusetts
Benefit association
The Massachusetts, policy holders in the
association have made a report in which
they say IN effect The Massachusetts
Benefit association will receive every mem
Der OF the Granite state without any charge
for admission fee, and without medical e1
animation, no matter what or how poor his
present health may be- The committee
find, however, that 1t will cost at least 60
per cent more Ia carry q certificate in it
than 1t did ia the Granite State The total
income of the company for 1898 way Sl3g,
80, and the disbursements SPA 1913. The
balance of l5OOO is gone, and local policy
holders are inqulring what disposition was
made of IT.
The Boston Evening Record remarks that
1t is the membership IT such All association
That the Massachusetts Mutual Benefit association
has taken IN without entrance lee or medical rx
animation, aud has agreed to ASSUME it, liabiliti les
accept It's aged disabled and sick members on the.
Slulr terms II takes sound ones and gives it, six
Officers SltDO each for making the transfer pro.
Nldrd that not more than quarter part uf them
gel away while they arr lsing delivered "
The conclusion Of the Manchester Mirror
is that
This is an excellent trade for the six officers
and possibly for the policy holders but to an
outsider II looks very much a. II the only com
PORTING thought for " he Joined some time agu
II that II he had bs-n lucky enough Ia die before.
this year, his h-rs would probably have got what
his policy called FOR; and for the new member
that II he had gone IN years ago he would have
lost great deal more than he has "
We have noticed that this is exactly the
net amount Of consolation which policy
holders in defunct insurance company
usually get The moral is to insure in com
panies the strength and solvency Of which
are absolutely assured.
