MUTUAL RESERVE is OLD LINE
After Successful Examination. by New
York Insurance Department
II ReincOrpOrates.

NEW YORK. April 17.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Yesterday afternoon at Albany the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association Of
New York received its charter as an old
line company. Under It's new title.
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance COMPANY"
the organization now is a purely mutual
insurance institution, incorporated under
the legal reserve. statute of New York.
The examination by the New York Insur-
ance department. preliminary to granting
the right OF re-incorporation has occupied
three months. The condition of the COM
pany was determined from the standpoint
Of its ability to comply with the require
ments of the statute governing legal re-
serve companies. The result of a most
careful and thorough examination under
taken by. the department shows that the
company possesses a surplus in excess Of all
liabilities, including the full statutory re-
serve OF about $500. 900. The insurance de-
partment increases the value Of the real
estate holdings beyond the estimate of
the company. At the beginning OF the
examination the. infringement asked of
the department the utmost strictness of
inquiry into its affairs and this course
was rigidly adhered to. Superintendent
Hendricks is satisfied that the company
Is amply able to. comply with all REQUIRE
ments Of the law for re-incorporation as a
legal reserve, or old-line mutual life in
surance company. On this showing the
charter was granted yesterday afternoon
and now the Mutual Reserve Life Insur-
ance company takes Its place as the third
largest purely mutual life insurance com
pany OF New York. President Frederick A.
Durham has thus fulfilled his pledge to
the policy holders OF placing the Mutual
Reserve under regular law without deprlv-
Ing the policy holders OF any part Of their
ownership in the institution. The Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company beglns
its new career prosperously. Founded in
1881 is has within a period OF twenty-one
years paid in death claims to its members
$50. 900 900. 1t has thousands OF members
In practically every state OF the union and
Its interests In Europe are important.
