VAS ARGUED YESTERDAY
STRAUSS vs.. MUTUAL RESERVE
FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION.
EXISTENCE OF THE COMPANY AT STAKE
The Question at Issue is as to the Right If the
Company to Advance Assessments Of
Policy Holders in Certain Cases and
the Validity Of a Class Of Policies,

Perhaps the biggest suit ever argued in
this State was closed i'll the Supreme
court yesterday after argument consum-
ing three days.
This was the case of Strauss VS.. Mu-
tual Reserve Fund Life Association.
and involves the existence of the com
pany and $500, 100000 Of insurance.
In 1881, the association was organized.
and by 1890 had issued over 100000
600 of Insurance on the mutual plan.
that is. at actual cost for each year Of
insurance and - per cent additional
for n reserve fund, which was required
by the New York law to be kept on
hand for the security of policy holders
TO he used in case of emergency to
keep down assessments and finally to
be returned to the members.
In 1890 another class of members was
instituted upon different plan, which
contemplated a level. rate for the first
ten years. and whose assessments We're
higher than the former class, age for
age, for the same amount
In 1896 still another class. known as
members of which were entitled to share
in the surplus at the end of FIVE years
from date of issue of the certificate of
membership. In these last two classes
over 100000 600 Of insurance was
issued.
LII 1897 it was ascertained that the
first class. having been assessed at ages
Of entry. had failed to bear their equita-
bic proportion of the expenses of the
company. and under the direction Of the
insurance commissioner of New York it
was required to advance the assessments
to those Of attained ages-they having
exhausted the reserve fund and having
had the benefit Of SS:0,000 of the CON
tributions made by the five and ten
classes
The association claimed the right to
make this advance. under Il provision
in their bylaws which authorized the
directors to create new classes with
different benefits, and therefore differ
ent burdens. The plaintiff. whose as,
seSSlnents were very materially in
creased. refused TO pay the assessment
and allowed his policy to lapse He ii
now suing for the return of all his as
sesSplfnts upon the ground that the as
sociation had no right to assess the five
and ten year classes at ages of entry,
although they We're paying more than 4
person entering the other class at the
same time and having the same amount
of insurance. upon the ground that the
bylaws required the association To cob
lect the same amount from each mem
Der Of the same age
If the court shall hold that the assess
| ment was for this reason illegal, il viii
| necessarily invalidate all Of the $500
100000 of insurance which is now be
ing carried by the ten and five year
classes. and will cause the suspension of
the association.
The case was argued by Hon. W. W.
Clark for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Tying,
Shepherd and Hinsdale for the defen-
dant.
