In re NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
THOMAS P: FOWLER, Esq., ,
Chairman Special Committee of the Board of Trustees of
The New York Life Insurance Company, New York City.
We have audited the books and accounts of the New. York Life Insurance Company, both at its Home Office and its principal
Domestic acid Foreign Branches, for the year ending December 31st, 1905, and have prepared therefrom the following Balanc
('11-4.1- ...
i isneei ana insurance Account.
We have verified all the Assets of the Company and, after providing sufficient Reserves for possible losses, find that on Decem-
l ber 31st, J905, the total Assets amounted to $438,788,015.39, and are fully worth.that sum. '
J We have tested the clerical accuracy of the Insurance Reserve as certified by the Actuary of the Company, which' amounts
and having made provision of $5,589,755.00 for all other Liabilities, we find that there was on December 31st, 1905, a balance of
$54,017,176.29 available for Dividends on Participating Policies (including Deferred Dividend Policies at the end of their several
accumulation periods), and for Contingencies.' This balance exceeds that claimed h? the Company in its Annual Report for 1905.
The general administration of the Company is well organised, its management is sound, its business methods and system
of collecting premiums are effective and economical, and its books and records are well and accurately kept.
And WE HEREBY CERTIFY that the following Balance Sheet correctly sets forth the true financial condition of the

In official life Instead of merely glancing
at an "annual," carelessly revealed for
their Inspection.
The time was, ss related by William
Henry Harrison Oouid, sn old-time con
ductor on the Baltimore A Potomac rail
way, when passes were so plentiful that
statesmen not only supplied themselves,
but all their retainers with those useful
pasteboards. And In those good days, said
he. the highest were none too high or the
lowest too low to accept such little courte
sies from railroad.
"But even then," aald Mr. Gould, "there
were many public men who declined to
ride on pasae, but persisted In purchas
ing their tickets.
"During the sixteen years that I ran on
the LlmMed between Washington and Bal
timore there were very few men of national
prominence whom I did not carry."
As Illustrating the elasticity of family
passes, Mr. Gould tells of a little trouble
he once had with James O. Blaine while
that statesman was representing Maine In
the upper house.
"It was Just sftsr congresa had ad

who could was leaving Washington, that
Senator Blaine, accompanied by his wife,
two daughters, young Jim Blaine, and

Municipal Improvements and the Initiative

Mr. Roaewster, In the course of his ad-

endorsed municipal ownership of public
utllltlea.
"It has been found,", he said, "that 7
per cent of municipal corruption Is due to
the Influence of public service corporation.
It Is these corporations that force poor
officials upon cities, and these officials give
bad government. The smaller cities, where
thsfe are no large corporations, hsve good
government. It Is the larger cities that
have poor and Inefficient government.
Persons who are In favor of municipal
ownership must first be In favor of good
government and the foundation of good
government la a good civil service system.
We must use the system-In vogue among
private corporations. They do not let men
go when they have become efuvient, but
raise their salaries and keep them. A muni
cipal government la usually ready to let a
man go sfter he has been In the service
long enough to become efficient. This la
due largely to the Influence of public serv
ice corporations who want to cripple the
government of the city."
Omaha Vitally Interested.
Mr. Rosewater pointed out that the city
of Omaha has t3i.ono.000 Invested tn public

Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Ver Mehren
wore divorced. The mother originally was

been living with their father at a boarding
house. Recently a quarrel ensued between
the eldest eon, who Is a high school student,
and the father, and the matter attracted
the attention of the juvenile court officers.
Judge Sutton decided that on the .stories
told by the boys Ver Mehren was an unfit

and guardian of the eldest and the two
others were placed temporarily In the d

Mr. Ver Mehren asserted that he could
