personnel of that committee of settle
ment. with their recommendation that
such settlement be accepted.
The examiner Of the Insurance De-
partment," he said. has reached diff
ferent conclusion from the same facts
and circumstances" and he added that
he did not care 10 discuss any question
of comparing the committee with the
examiner as to Judgment and integrity

the Armstrong law have been upheld by
the company" he declared. and that We

law II II be shown that We have not,

Mr.. Peabody explained that the pay
ment Of s25O.0O0 in the settlement by the
firm of Charles H. Raymond & Co. was
matter outside of the company's control
He supposed that Raymond & Co made
the payment under some agreement with
the McCurdys. and said that. so far As
he had ever known, the Raymond & Co.
claim of s65s,527 81 against the Mutual
was exclusively iOE CoAuiA4SSAOAAS NA4N~A
contract as agent.
Superintendent Hotchkiss said on Sat-
urday that the report had been in the
hands OF the Mutual for some time. and
that the company evidently concurred in
the findings. because no hearing on the
report was requested. as provided for by
the Armstrong law in the event Of a
company disagreeing with the findings
Of the examiners.
Apart from the three criticisms men
toned. the Superintendent stated that
the company had complied in the main
with the Armstrong law. and that on the
whole the report was complimentary TO
the company
