ment and Congratulate Him.

AZ convention OF the metropolitan Iice IN
suranoe companys superintendent held at Mar
tins. 26th-st. and Broadway. on Friday night.
President John r. Hegeman was presented with a
set OF ensrossed resolutions. signel by all the
superintendents. setting forth the high esteem IN
which he is held by them snd consratulatinr him
the result OF the recent insurance investigation
IN which he figured.
The presentation made BY Superintendent
Holmes Of the Morrisanis agency OF tho company.
In Wow OF some OF the testimony which President
EegemSn gave before the Investigating cornrntttee
part OF this resolution is rather surprising on
October "a he rrefaced his story OF ths Affairs Of
the Metropolitan with en- explanation OF reciprocal
loans % John A Mccall. OF the New-York Life and
himself. His company had loaned Mccall y76eO0
and IN return he had borrowed $50 oco from the
New-fork Life. Both loans had been made at a
rate OF interest below that OF the market He hac
personally borrowed from tho Metropolitan at q
rate OF ~ per cent.
He also told OF the Metropolitan practto. OF sell
ing its collateral loans 20 friends Just becor. re-
porting 10 the state Insurance Commissioner thus
removing them from the books. These loans
repurchssed on the first business day Of the year
On Novernber u II developed that as a result o,
the scandal that arose ont OF the syndicate opera
tons IN the Equitable IAfe last spring. Mr. Hege-
man had covered back 10 tho Metropolitan ell OF
his profits that had arisen from any share Of the
Metropolitan IN syndioates in which he took part
The total Of his syndicate profit shown 10 be
ss4.e 900 and the amount turned back ss.opl MI
Hegeulan expressed himself strongly OF th. opin-
ion that restitution had been necessary and that
TO improperly had been committed in taking tho
profits. But he explained that after a conference
with advisers one OF whom had differed with him
he had returned the 5000 10 avoid all possible dis
cussion the subject.
This feeling that lie insurance troubles about
at end IS reflected IN the number OF life insur-
anos dinners and banquets which are being held
an over the country. Several scheduled Tor
New-York hotels next week. and the big annual
gat herring Of the NewYork Life will take place az
lakewood on January l6.

scientific principles. The Parish
has appropriated one thousand
dollars and the Town and Good
Road Committee will supply the
balance of funds necessary to do
the work which will be done under
the supervision of the road ex-
perts. The building of roads is
not hard matter 10 this country,
but to keep them in good order af-
ter they are built has been all our
troubles. Dirt roads will not
stand any heavy hauling during
rainy spells, unless they would BE-
attended to all the time in order
to keep holes from forming.
