FINDINGS OF ARMSTRONG COM.
MlTTEE SUBMITTED TO NEW
WORK LEGISLATURE.
EIGHT BILLS ACCOMPANY DOCUMENT
MOST IMPORTANT DEFERS APRIL
ELECTIONS AND NULLlFiES
EXISTING PROXIES.

Albany, N. Y, Feb 23.-The repor
| of the joint committee Of the senate
and assembly of the state of New Yorl
appointed to Investigate the affairs o.
the life insurance companies was pre-
sented to the Legislature during the
day. 1t covers a printed pamphlet OF
319 pages
The report was accompanied by
eight bills designed to carry into effect
in detail Recommendation of the
committee.
laws regulating mutual companies and
recommended by the committee looks
to the giving to policyholders OF an
opportunity to elect entirely new
boards of directors as soon as the pro-
visions of such law can be made ap-
plicable. To that end the committee
recommends a special act providing
for the expiration Of the terms OF Office
of existing directors of such com
panies on Nov. Is next and that the
annual meetings which would other
wise be held at an earlier date should
be postponed to that time. In this
way it will be possible for lists OF pol
icyholders to be filed under the stat
ute, for nominations to be made and
for the policyholders to cast their
votes in person, by proxy Or by mail,
as they may desire All existing prox,
les should be declared void so that no
proxies should be voted at such elec-
tiOn other tan those which are given
under the statute within two months
prior thereto. The first election
should be under the supervision OF the
superintendent of insurance, who
should be directed to appoint inspec-
tors of election and see that it is con-
Quoted according to law.
The new boards of directors should
divide them selves into two classes, so
that thereafter one-half of the board
may be elected annually, and errors
in management promptly corrected.
AS the annual election in one of these
companies would otherwise take place
in April it is important that this spe
cial act should be passed Immediately.
In a statement made to newspaper
men before the presentation OF the re-
port Senator Armstrong said he hoped
to have passed. before April Is the bill
which will defer the annual elections
in the mutual companies from April
Is to Nov. 15 This, it is believed,
probably would nullify all proxies OBJ
tanned up to this time by Thomas w
Lawson and the policyholders' com
mittee of state governors and others,
as well as those which the manage /
ment of the companies themselves
have been gathering through their
agents.

The committee having charge the
active management Of the Morris
Creamery will open for business on
March Isl, and will at the very begin
ming pay two cents off New York
prices for butter fat. It is expected
that thus the creamery will be accord
ed an excellent patronage, which will
enable II later to pay New York prices
for the butter fat. 1t is well known
that amy creamery with sufficient pat
roDage can pay its running expenses
out Of the ''overrun, . and there is no
good reason why. the Morris Creamery
should not get sufficient patron ge to
enable it to do this.
Heretofore it has been hard to work
up patronage for the creamery for the
reason that the first patrons were
compelled to make some sacrifices to
get the: creamery started, but the
a .t:on Of the committee in deciding to
paw TWO cents off New York prices
from the first should Immediately
bring in fine patronage, which would
ensure the success of the undertaking.
