mas become perfectly familiar with the work
ings of the company while acting as counsel for
the Fowler investigating committee during the
last six months.
Although under the law it was not necessary
for the company to have published the "ad-
ministration ticket" before July IS. at which
time It must be filed with the state Superin-
tendent Of Insurance and at various Offices Of
the company throughout the world, It is thought
that the early publication will give the company
just so much more time in which 70 make its
campaign.
The policyholders' associations have until
September IS within which to file opposition
tickets. These must also under the law be
transmitted to the policyholders by the man
agement. Each policyholder has one vote for
trustees, no matter how many policies he may
hold or how large they are. The polls will be
open, under the supervision OF the State Super
intendent, for two months prior to December 1s
at which time they are to be closed. The pres
ent terms OF the members of the boards Of the
mutual life insurance companies expire under
the operation Of the new laws on December 81.

The only other question discussed at the meet
ing Of the trustees yesterday was to whether
or not the New York Life would comply with the
new French law requiring a deposit in French
securities Of an amount equal to the legal re-
serve on all French policies, or would withdraw
from doing business in that country. The ques-
tiOn was referred 20 the finance and the office

policy it the belief OF the board that the
company should remain in France.

tion In this manner: only six trustees had any
knowledge of the presidents salary having been
made S1J0OO0 prior to the fact being brought
out by the Armstrong committee

admitted knowledge OF this salary of President

named came out at the Armstrong investigation,

knowledge of contributions TO campaign funds
