BILL WILL HIT
POLICYH0LDERS
Effort Being Made to Tax
Prudential Dividends

More than eleven thousand policy
holders of the Prudential Insurance
Company in this county are receiving
notices from the company this week
that an attempt is being made by
James r. Nugent to force through
the Legislature a bill which will ma.
terially reduce the dividends paya-
BILE to them on their policies.
In a statement issued by Presi-
dent Forrest F. Dryden 1t is pointed
out that the bill If passed will af-
feet nearly one person out of every
five in the state, so numerous are
the bills, OF the class the bill will
tax. Z The measure. which is known
as House Bill 81, was introduced in
the House Monday by Assemblyman
Rowe of Newark. In this county
alone there are II ,954 policy holders
who will be affected. In the state
there are 4~44,9443 such policy
holders.
The bill provides that the city OF
Newark shall have the right to tas
the accumulated dividends on the
company's deferred dividend poll
cies. The right of the city to tax
LueSe IuuuS mas dIT6duy Uteu
threshed out in the courts. and the
company won. Having failed under
the existing law, Mr.. Nugent Is now
trying to change the statutes so as to
give express authority to tax this
n fund.
President Dryden declares that
the Prudential will exert every le-
climate mean to prevent the bill
becoming a law. He says the chief
thing to remember Is that the fund
sought to be taxed is entirely the
policy holders and that the com
pany cannot make one cen for itself
from 1t IN any way. Every CEN OF
interest the fund draws goes back
into the fund to be paid to the pol
Icy holders.
In view of the fact that the pol
Icy holders who own the fund are
chiefly those whose average pre-
MUM Is ten cents a week, President
Dryden asks If it ought not to be
as sacred from the hands of the tax
ing authorities as are building and
loan funds and deposits in savings
banks. He asks If New Jersey wants
to be the first state in the Union to
begin taxation of this sort. Anoth-
er point raised by President Dryden
is that there Is no reasonable ground
why policy holders living outside of
Newark should be called upon to
help pay Newark's taxes.

GROUSE SUED
BY SURETY GO.
Want Payment Of Premium
on Bond.
Special to the EVENING NEWS

GDgCtIt Z " u AZ W."
New Brunswick, Jan. 23:-Suit Is
being brought against Ira r. Grouse,
a contractor of Perth Amboy, by the
Fidelity and Deposit Company. OF
Maryland, to premium on q
surety bond. Lawyer James s. Wight
is representing the defendant.
In 1910 Grouse received the con
tract for erecting the high school
building in Woodbridge. The pre-
MUM for the bond which was issued
by the Fidelity and Deposit Company
for the first year was paid by the
contractor, but the premium was not
paid for the second year, 1t is alleged,
and the present suit Is the result.
Mr.. Grouse stated in court today
that work was held up during the
second year through no fault of his
and for this reason he refuses to pay
the permium on the bond for that
time.
