 The committee on insurance has as signed the bill of Representative Web ster, of Berlin, relative to the Hartford Life Insurance company, for a hearing on Thursday of this week. The bill is aimed at the safety fund of the com pany, amounting to $1,O00,000. It pro- yides for the abolition of the fund and its distribution among the policyhold-- CTS. The originator of the fund was H. P. Duclos, who died in Hartford number of years ago after having car- ried the project to an assured success. He was a brilliant representative of as- sessment insurance and the safety fund which he devised has performed it's work in the most admirable manner. For the past half dozen years assess anent insurance has fallen out, by the way, and the Hartford Life, like all of fhes1eading opponents of the old assess anent plan, has transferred it's business as far as practicable to the level pre- n1iunl basis. It still carries large corps of assessment policyholders. Some of these have tried before previ- ous legislatures to have the fund dis organized and. distributed. But each legislature has held that the fund is valid contract and cannot be dfsannul- ed by legislative interference.
