Metropolitan lift Insurance
Insurance Superintendent's Report
The New York Insurance Department has had the Company under examination, pursuant to law, for about
fifteen months. After this examination the Superintendent of Insurance said :
TOOROUGHTHSSS. It is thought that no Company of
this character under the supervision of any Insurance Depart
ment in the United States has ever been so thoroughly
examined by such a Department"
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. "The claims received aver
aged from 600 to 800 each working day; the percentage of
rejections is small, being in 1909 less than one-half of one
per cent."
CAREFUL INVESTMENTS. "On an investment of
$100,000,000 in real estate mortgages this Company now
holds through foreclosure but one piece of realty."
Ordinary Department
In 1010 the Company wrote a larger amount of Ordinary business in the United States and Canada
than any other company, by TWENTY MILLIONS!
In 1910 the Company placed Ordinary Insurance up lo the Limit of the Law
and was obliged to hold back hundreds of thousands of dollars of insurance by reason of the New York statute limiting
amount in any one year.
MORAL: Get in early this year and avoid the rush at the end. Best plans; cheapest rates; all policies non-participating
that is, the money is not collected on promise of repayment in dividends, but is left in the pockets of the
insured by reduction of premium.
Industrial Department
OLD POLICIES. A bonus has been declared to
Industrial policy-holders amounting to nearly
SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
payable in 1911 on Whole Life and Increasing Life and
Endowment policies issued prior to 1907, which bonuses give
reduction of premiums varying, according to period of per
sistence, from
EIGHT TO ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.
The Company added not one dollar to surplus at the
end of 1910 out of income from Industrial policies.
"No summary of this examination of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company would be complete which omitted
reference to certain agencies for social service which it has
inaugurated and is now conducting."
"CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS. Among
the activities of this Company begun since the Armstrong'
investigation is its participation in the nation-wide crusade
against tuberculosis. As to policy-holders, its work has thus
far been confined to the dissemination of the literature of
irevention and instruction; a work which its great Agency
wee and close contact with the industrial classes makes
easy, as well as effective. As a matter of mere business
economics, the Company's activities in this direction entitle
it to the approval of the Department."
Largest Company in the World
The largest amount of insurance In force of any Company in the world $2,215,851,388, covering 1 1,288,054 policies.
In 1910 the Company made the largest gain In Insurance lo force of any Company In the world.

K(.ri(iliUf Board f Health.
The senate passed a bill late Saturday
evening recommended by the governor and
prepared under his direction to abolish the
present State Board of Health and reorgan
ize It into a new one on salaries Instead of
a per diem. The bill provides for a State
Board of Health of five doctors with pay
of $300 a year and each member to devote
his entire time to the work. It Is estimated
the cost will not be any greater than
under the present system with a much
larger board on the per diem basis.
Rate Cases Provided For.
The senste has now passed the second
of the appropriation bills which were asked
by the State Railroad commission to fur
nish funds for the prosecution of rate
cases. This is an appropriation of $25,000
fo rthe prosecution of caaca affecting stale
rates, the .previous one being for the prose
cution of cases affecting interstate rates.
The two appropriations will give the pres
ent railroad commlsalon a fund ot $..0,000
for use in this work the next two years.
Pay of Coeaty Clerks.
The bill to Increase the pay of county
clerks In the larger counties of the state
finally passed both houses on a conference
report as a compromise. The bill pro
vides that where a county has over e?.oo
population the pay shall be $2,500; over
60 000 It shsll be $2,7bO and over So 000 It
shall be $3,300; Wnd then in smaller coun
ties there may be added a $!O0 extra out of
probate fees If collected. The only mstter
in controversy was as to the use of the
word "shall" Instead of "may'' in regard
to the probate fee items, but this wss left
optional with the county boards
Mere the Moaaaaeuat.
The Iowa soldiers monument will be

The vote on the proposition in the senate
was 40 to 0, sfti their had been a good
many pstriotlc speeches delivered. The ex
ecutive council is given suthcrlty to super
vise the removal In case it tan be done for
not to exceed $30 000.

YORK
INDUSTRIAL POLICIES AT COST. "On this basis
this Company, from all of its departments, added to its
surplus in 1909, after setting aside in that year as a
liability its dividends and bonuses for 1910, about $800,000;
in other words, the volume of its business being considered,
seems to have furnished insurance substantially at cost."
PROGRESSIVE MANAGEMENT. The Department
Report shows during the last five years :
Reduction in the ratio of expense to premium income. . 7.13
Reduction in the ratio of lapse to issue 10.36
Reduction of cancellations in first year of insurance . . 8.92
NEW POLICIES. The benefits on policies issued since
January 1, 1907, are over
TWENTY PER CENT. GREATER
than the benefits promised by policies issued previously.
In the last eighteen years it has declared
TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
in voluntary bonuses over and above all requirements
of policies.
"NURSING SYSTEM. - About two years ago this
Company -inaugurated a system whereby trained nurses
would, upon request, be sent to the homes of sick or
bedridden policy-holders in its Industrial Department. ...
While this service has been but recently established, and
while, therefore, the examiners are in some doubt as to
its ultimate effectiveness either from the standpoint of saving
the lives of policy-holders or minimizing unhealthy condi
tions, no one can make a personal investigation into what
has already been done without being profoundly impressed
with, not only the economic, but, more, the beneficent value
of the work. Numerous cases where lives have been saved
are already on record. Many instances showing improve
ment in home conditions duo to the visits of the nurses
are known.!

ject. A resolution directing the appropria
tions committee to prepare and bring out a
bill of that kind Is pending and would
have been acted upon Saturday but for ob
jections on the part of one member who
would not permit It to be taken up then.
The plan Is to have a committee report on
whether or not anything Is needed In that
line.
For Memorial Resolutions.
The senate has decided that Monday
evening It will hold a special session for
the adoption of numerous memorial reso
lutions which are due from special com
mittees. Thfy can all be adopted at one
meeting and then be printed in the Journal.
