The industrials attracted the greatest at

THE COMMERCIAL ALLIANCE.
To show Cause Why the License
Should Not BE Revoked,

Within a short time it Is believed the
Commissioners will revoke the license of
the Commercial Alliance Life Insurance
Company to do business in the District
of Columbia.
This Is the company, 1t will be remember
ed. to which it was proposed to transfer
the policy holders of the Washington
Beneficial Endowment Association of this
city. Few, however, awaited themselves of
the opportunity. Meanwhile, rumors were
current regarding the financial condition
of the new company, and Investigations by
the insurance department of New York
disclosed deficiency in the assets amount
ing to $76115.4O. -t..
This report was embodied in a letter to
the assessor, who, learning of the financial
condition of the company, thought the
public interest demanded an investigation.
Lately he recommended the reference of the
papers to the attorney for the District,
with the request that ne investigate the
matter and report.
In reporting upon the case Attorney
Thomas says.
'"The act of Congress approved January
&c, 1887, to regulate insurance in this Dis
trict, requires every insurance company
doing business in the District to make an
annual report to the Commissioners of its
condition, and authorizes the Commissions
ers to require such companies to make
special statements to them, whenever, in
their judgment, it is necessary for the
public interest to do SO. Every life in
surance company, except those organized
upon the plan of assessment upon their
members, is required to have assets equal
to its liabilities, including a reserve liza
bility computed upon the basis of the
American experience table of mortality, &c.
The Commissioners are also authorized,
whenever they are satisfied that any in
surance company doing business under the
license required by said act has failed to
comply with the law, to revoke the au-
thority of such company to do business in
the District of Columbia.
1t seems to me, upon the showing made
by the superintendent of insurance of New
York, in his letter to Mr.. Trimble, it is
proper for the Commissioners to notify
the Commercial Alliance Insurance Com
pany that Its license will be revoked unless
it shows cause to the contrary on or be-
fore a certain day. fixed by the Commits
sioners- An official notice to that effect
should be prepared and served upon the
representative of the company"
