injury from Mosaul,oea..

New Jersey has many places ideal
in situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a Ger.
tain point and there 1t stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club. golf, tennis and other attrac-
tions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or stinging pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without fight. and an i'm.
provement society was formed which
consulted with my office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk Of
the breeding area was drained, mos.
quitoes have since been absent al.
most entirely; one gentleman, not
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-.
dences are planned for next year

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge OF
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that Life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president Is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he began with the
rate. book and has advanced step by
step up to his present position. a
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than
quarter OF a century,-indeed has
never had any other business, connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work VIM. e. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $2.000.000,00O insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50 100000 a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds $4,000, 900 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further reassured by this action Of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests mer
of thorough training and unexception
able character.
