The Boston and New York papers
are filed with the reports of the insur
ance commissioner of New York and
on the examination by that department
of the accounts of the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Association. The Maine in
surance department received a copy of
the report. Wednesday, and it gives
practically the same idea that the pa
pers are giving, that the company Is
still solvent Notwithstanding contrary
reports. though its assets have peeH
decreased very greatly of late ana the
number Of policy holders has decreas-
ed This is one of the assessment com
panies that is suffering with the others
in the change that is taking place III
the estimate of the people OF the as
sessment plan of doing business IL Is
. thought.
Insurance papers give the additional
| information attached to the report Of
the New York commissioner, that the
commissioner mas placed the matter in
the hands of the attorney general,
though this is not officially known in
this State.
In any case. there are people in
Maine who are interested. This com
pany wrote 157 policies in Maine, last
YEAR. They had on the 3lst of Decem
Der. 1898. 500 policies in force in Maine
with a total valuation of $l,l1o.0o0.
They collected 21,413.04, last year.
At the close of the year they had one
policy of $4,000 that was unpaid.
This company has an odd lot of pol
icy holders. as they are made up of a
collection of several defunct COM
panics and they will in time become
world. In the list will be found pol
lev holders in the York Mutual Aid
Association. the kennebec Mutual Life
Insurance 60. and the Providcnt Aid
Society. All these consolidated and
were merged into the Bay State, and
this was found to be defunct. two
years ago, the policy holders going in
to the present company.
