In the corporation, and Is brought for
the purpose of enjoining the company
from declaring their policies lapsej,
owing TO a dispute which has arisen
n which the courts are called upon
to settle.
The complainants call the attention

pose of increasing the reserve fund,

that this assessment must he made

However much the people OF Hot
