The annual report of Insurance Commissioner T. H. Macdonald COW ering the life. accident, casualty, fi- delity and surety companies for the Governor Baldwin. In 1t Commis- sioner Macdonald writes in part as follows:
 In compliance with the provisions of Section 3.495 of the General Stat utes I herewith submit Part II Of the business done during 1910 by ejghty-seyen life. casualty, fidelity, Surety and miscellaneous companies authorized to do business in Connec- ticut-
 Although the statement blanks were sent out earlier than usual so as to give ample opportunity to com pile statistics, this part of my re- port has been delayed somewhat be- cause of the failure on the part of some companies, reporting to this department, to comply with instruc- tions sent them relative to-, their an nual statements.
 This year has witnessed a continu- ed movement among life insurance 1 interests toward prevention of dis ease This movement which start ed quietly has been steadily gaining in favor and power and bids fair to ultimately have an important bear ing on the public health.
 In accordance with the custom of this department, no statements have been required from companies that have withdrawn from the state h. terest in companies of this class is naturally increased when those con- cerned note the absence of any ref erence to them in the insurance de- partment report. It is therefore stlll my contention as expressed last year that all insurance companies withdrawing from the state, should continue to report as long as there are any citizens of this state policy holders in such companies.
 The report of the regular quad rennial examination of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company made during 1910 will be found on pages 3 to 22 of this volume The reports of the examinations made of the Eastern Casualty Company and of the United States Indemnity So- ciety. both of Boston, also appear in this volume. The reports of the examinations of the Fraternal Pro tective Association, the Royal Area mum, and the Improved Order of -Heptasophs, which were participat- ed in by this department, will be printed in Part III and submitted later
 Commissioner Macdonald alludes to the national convention of insurance commissioners held at Mobile. Ala. -oSs ocpIeIHDeT anu Inen speaks Of the affairs of the Aetna Indemnity Company as follows:
 The abstract of the last printed report of this company is printed elsewhere in this volume. The re- turns were made by the company as of December 31, 1910, and show ed at that time an apparent surplus of S60,000- The continuation of the examination of the company which mad been begun by the insurance de- partments of New York and Connec- ticut in December gave evidence that the affairs of the company were Sd seriously involved that it became necessary to ask for a receiver for the company. The application was made on January 7th last by the at torney general of this state, repre-. senting the insurance commissioner before a judge of the Superior court or Connecticut, the petition being granted. The temporary receiver who was appointed on January 2 was made the permanent receiver or February ', 1911. Maurice Deiches of New York was appointed ancillary receiver by the supreme court o1 New York on January g, 1911. Car l. Kellogg of Cincinnati, O., was ap- pointed receiver for the state ot Ohio by the courts of that state ir the month of February. 1911. The plate glass and health and accident
