 Resolved, further That this board hay ing been advised by it's executive officers and its aetuaries that some of the pro- visions of the proposed laws will in their judgment be highly injurious to the in terests of the polcyholders of the com pany and will tend to lessen instead of to increase the safety of their invest ments represented by their premiums al- ready paid, and will seriously impair the carrying out by the company of the pur- poses for which 1t was incorporated and this board concurring in such advice hereby authorizes and instructs the pres ident of this company to take such ae- ton as in his discretion may seem proper including the employment of counsel to bring the attention of the legislature to the objections of such proposed legisla- tion"
