' President B. 8. Josselyn of the Port

stated that If the atreetcer patrons are
not satisfied with the new system of

old way; that of having tnsle rare on

, He explained that If the people would
. stop to think a moment they would
readily see that the service now being
given by the two-car trains operating
'.on a five minute schedule during rush
hours and a sevn and a half minute

HEALTH
INSURANCE
"The figures placed before you by the officers of this Com
"pany, including the income, disbursements and profits of the
"year, the balance sheet and detailed schedules of assets at the
"close of 1909, make an impressive picture. No fair-minded man,
"having reviewed the figures, can avoid the conclusion thtt en
"er87 capacity and fidelity in administration were riot born yes
terday in the New-York Life.
"Any claim which we as Trustees and officers may have to
"approval by the 750,000 families protected by this institution is
"made stronger by the willing admission, which we all make,
"that our predecessors toiled both mightily and wisely. '
"A. great life insurance company is not the product of ac
cident or violence- It does not arise from a social catastrophe,
"as a mountain may suddenly arise in the landscape from a con
"vulsion of nature. It is the product of peace, oi labor, of
"thought, of energy, of fidelity, of faith, of godd will amongst men.
"When a storm has swept over an estate and has done its
"cruel and possibly necessary work, the owner may send for
"men and direct them to cut away broken and twisted branches,
"to prune away unnecessary and unhealthful growths and clear
"the ground. Having done this, the men would hardly be en
"titlcd to claim credit, tn that account, for the fact that certain
"trees were still symmetrical, beautiful, vast in girth and vig
orous to the outermost twig. Any such claim would be pre
sumptuous and the men making it would become ridiculous.
"The New-York Life grew like the oak and it tells the same
"story of storm and tempest survived.
"Lately the hurricane came and did its cruel perhaps nec
f'essary work. We were called in by the owners of the estate,
"the policy-holdersand told to correct errors, to change methods,
"to discontinue certain practices. We have done the-work ;but
"we are not now possessed of the idea that this necessary and use
"ful work, as such, reflects discrediton our predecessors or espe
cial glory on us.
"Having carried out' the wishes of the policy-holders, we now
"assure them in the facts anneked. of the vitality, the soundness,
"the large capacity for social usefulness of the New-York Life.
"But we are obliged to tell them at tle same time that sound
"and virile as the Company is, its future usefulness is limited.
"The owner of an estate, after the passing of a storm, never
"orders the men who remove broken branches and cut away un
desirable growths, to excise fhe living, growing body of a tree
"to cut for the deliberate purpose of ending a tree's further de
velopment. Such a direction would be contrary to nature ; it
"would indicate that the owner of the estate either had no knowl-
"edge of natural laws', or. that he cherished an especial hostility
"against fine trees.' ' . v. ,-, ' ' ' '" ' .' ; :
"When the State of New York enacted certain statutes,' in
Curing economy, eliminating the legislative blackmailer, corn
Celling' publicity and strict accountability, it did well. But
"when it enacted Section 96 of the insurance code, deliberately
"intending to stop the natural, sound and healthful growth of
"this Company, it sinned against nature, , -.
"Obeying the law, we have been obliged to cut deep into thei
"Company's living tissue, into its organized working force, and
"so strong is the Company's) vitality, so rapid its recovery, that
"we have been obliged to cut again and again"!"
"Let me give you a few facts:
"Our domestic working organization at the close of 1905 and
at the close of 1909 was as follows: .

"Three full years have, intervened since these laws took effect.
"Wo find no-fault with most of them. But the record shows that
"Section 96, which limjts our new business in each calendar year'
"to an amount equal to about 7yi per cent of our insurance in
"force, makes any material expansion of our outstanding insur
"ance impossible. Inevitably, if the law remains, outstanding
"insurance will permanently decrease.
"The law was not intended to have and it docs not have this
"effect on all the companies of this State. It. is therefore not
"only unsound, but unfair. To correct this, it is only necessary
"to get a clear statement of the truth before the people. This
"we have tried continuously to accomplish.1 We have made
"progress. We shall get reasonable relief in time, because in this
Country nothing is ever settled until it is settled right.
