THE BIsELE INSURANCE ACT.
1t VIII Go Into Effect Next Thursday
New REQUIRED.

y
The Eisele Insurance act, passed last
session. will go into effect July 4 and the
several life assurances companies doing
business on the industrial plan are hav-
ing blanks prepared to conform with the
new law.
While it takes effect July 4, advantages
of its provisions can not be taken for
three years after that date, as the law
affects only policies written after July
A. The advantage of the new law lies in
the fact that after a person is insured
three years he or she may demand, and
the company is compelled to issue, a
paid-up policy, averaged on the reserve
fund of four and a half per cent. pro-
vided by the new law. Or the insured. if
it is desirable, may demand a a sur
render, and by either means secure
eventually a portion of the money actual
~ paid in as premiums.
Before the Eiesle bill was passed all the
money paid In was forfeited unless the
insured continued payments until within
four weeks of death. Under that system
persons who had paid premiums for sew
erai years and then through sicEnes SIS or
any other cause were unable to continue
lost every penny paid in.
The new law was ~Stubbornly contested

Senator Ketcham, chairman of the
committee having the bill in charge. was
favorable to the amendments, and AS

Daily, who represented the district which
next to Essex was most largely affected
by the act. The Hudson Senator, after a
hard fight, forced the bill to final pas

the Republican party during the Harri-

Tha New Watcr Bids.

The most striking feature in the water
bids presented yesterday for the cltys
consideration is thai they are all higher
thar those of last March. This, at nrst
sight, might be thought a result OF the
disgust among many capitalists at our
INDIGESTION and intended by them as a
sort of rebuke. But a little reflection
will show that it is Cue to actually
prevailing business conditions. For in
stance. iron is very much dearer than 1t
was three months ago. It is going up
all the time, with no prospect in sight
of going down again. We are semi
officially assured that it would cost today
$500 600 more to contract for the pro-
posed pipe line than 1t would when the
last bids were put in. Labor, too, is
higher. Wages have been raised every
where, and unemployed men are becom-
ing scarce. So, if we make a contract
now and lave to pay something more
we nave only ourselves, or rather the
cbstruetionists among us to blame. II
will be observed that the Jersey City
Company limits the validity of its offer
to August /. This is. no doubt, because
in the present progress of business. no
one can tell how prices of materials
and labor may change even in that
short time.
Here, now, we nave unmistakable COM
petition. We have feasible plans. We
have bona ade capital guaranteed. We
have liberal offers in the matter of pay
ment. OF the three formal bids, the
Jersey City Company's is by all odds
posals each of the three competitors
has one or more attractive plans. Out
of all the offers, surely the city may
choose without mistake.zAWe 9doubt If
we will ever have a better opportunity

t%hirty-three per cent. above those OF the
Jersey City Company, which were pro-
nounced so wickedly high elk weeks ago..
Well. this is the situation:-
The city wants water.
Here is plenty of water as cheap as
we are ever likely to get it.
What are you going to do about it?

learned when they attempted to ignore
the per centages added by the board to
the reported valuations hast year.
President Van Reiper directed that these
per centages must be added to the re-
ports of the assessors and that such
gross amount should be the valuations

that they would not be trifled with in
this respect. when Notwithstanding what
