Commussioner Orawford thought thoy should dclibornte upon tho quoutlon, waich was rather sorious. He wanted to have "city authoritics " substituted for the Board of Public Works" in the roport. Hotwantod toknow whether tha rato of compensation for tho architects was stilt foft blank, ‘Tho Chairman—That isa mattor to bo aottled Bt some future time, Commissionor Crawford remarked that tho mattor of compensation ought to be tlxad-with- outilolay, ‘There was some dissatisfaction rela. fivo to tho building of tne Court-Houss by tho city and couuty authoritics jointly. Ho thought that the report nocdod amondment in that ro- ard, Commlasionor Clough said that tho report pro- vided for tho election of architects by the joint volo of the city and county. Comunivsionce Holdon said that although tho Committeo had been unanimous in tho revom- mendation of the election of a Board of Arohi- tucts, to consist of three mombers, ho thought ONE ANCIITRCT WOULD BE AMPLE for all practical purposes, Ax regarded tho plans, he thought Mr, illoy's was incomparably the best, It wav the publio favorito at nil svonty. Ho moved that tho words ‘*an arcli- tect” bo sitbutituted for 'throo,”” Commussioner McCaffrey dissented from Mr. Holdon's ideas. Tho gront question before the ‘oard was whethor tho public would bo eatis- fied to havo so large o sum of money committed to tho kooping of ono mau, Mo farored tho election of o Board of Architects, and also thought that the question of pty and nattonal- ity ought to bo sunk for the common good. ‘They should have mon conpotent to do tho work without regard to minor considorations, Commissionor Crawford thought that ono man of brains would ba quite suilciont to do tho work. Hothought from what thoy had learned when the plans wero undor discunslon, that it would bo impossible to build undor Mr. Tiltey'a Man for 2,000,000, Nov, if one architect could 0 fixed upon by alt, ho thought it would be the very hest way todisporo of the question. Hoe alxo dopreented tho nationality matter, The seletion should bo on the merits of the candi- ato. Commirsioner Guenthor favored the olection of three architects, and spoko strongly against hay- jug nattounlity brought up in tho business. Commivuiouor tolden did not think Mr. ‘Tilloy's pian would bo extravagant, bocauss moro Work could be dono for $2,500,000 new than for 2,000,000 when thoso estimates wore mato, Conrequontly that objootion did not hold good. As rogardod remuneration, if ono architect wero agceed upon, throo-fourths of 1 por cent would ‘bo amplo remuneration. On tho other hand, 1 Ror cont would be roquired for » Board, -- Commissionor Clough sald that all the plang had beon bastily prepared. ‘I'horo waa plenty of room for imnprovomont inallof thom. Thora. fore, ho favored tho immodiate oloction of a compotent Board of Architects to go to work on the plans, ‘Lhe motion of Commissloner Holdon was thon ut, and declared lost, by a voto of 18 ta 2— exere, Holden and Crawford conatituting tho minority, * Comiissloner Crawford thon sald that tho ro- Post ought to be amonded by tho unbstitution of “erry avtuonities" for ‘Board of Publio Works.” Commissionor Clough sald that * city adthor- ities” would bo too indefinite, Tho respanuibil- ity should bo placed on somo branch of the Cit: QGovernmont, and why not tho Board of Public Works? Commissioner McCaffray—I favor the amend- mont. Tho Board of Yublio Works cannot build without the consent of the Council, Tho Chalr—The plang will nocd tho action of tho Council, but the clection of architects, which is contom ated by tho report, is within tho Province of tho Board of Publia Wort. Commissioner Crawford then changed bis Amondinent to road as follows: ‘l'ho Dusrd of Publie Works, or tho propor clty authorities,” which provailod, Commirsioner MeCaffroy wanted to know Whethor their action would not bo doclared null aud void if the city did not ratify their choice, Suppore tho city waa not roady to proceed with tho building, wero thoy (tho County Board) to Temain inactive? ‘The Chair sald that, according to tho terme of ihe report, tho election by ulthar side of the ouro, without tho consent of the other, would bonull and vold. 1f tho city was not proparod to go alicad, tho county could take such subso- queut action as might scom best, PAY OF AROUITECTE, Commiesionor Holden moved that the com- Poneation of tho architeots be fixed at 1 per cant, fhia would be ample remunoration for » Board, Decause their timo would not bo exclusively oce upload by tholr dutles. omminstoner MeCaffroy did not wish any such taiprousion to go abroad. The duty of tho Board of Architects would be no winecure, ‘Choy would have all they could attond to, Commlsstoner Carroll moved that (ho compen- setion bo fixed at 4 por vent. Commissioner Clough said that the companss- How ought to be intumatod to the Board by the Commissioner MoCaffrey said tho matter ought to be fixed before tho olection, and then thare could be no charge of lobbyiug in the intorest of any person, Commiasionor Clough was opposed to so high wd percent.

If tho Pro- tectlon Lifo ia perverting an honeet. principle to adishonest ond, and procuring motioy by false proteuses, then the ditferont plane of fife iusur- auco have nothing to do with the question at insue. In his letter of tho 24th inat, Mr. Hilliard rayathat Mr. Shufoldt, iguoring fast isiues, thas broken loose in a new spot,” Well, the rec- ord of this Company has 20 many holes in it that it has becomo utterly impossible to touch it without putting your finger on s sora place, I do not proposa to keep reitorating charges which are not denied so long ral can fond now ones which van bo substantiated. J have, however, & word to Hay on tho subject of tho Company's books, which arc sald to ba cpen to oxamipation to prove the falsity of my charge that the Company in Jevying and cullect- ing moro money than it pays out. Their aystem of bookkeeping is auch that the truth of this matter can only be ascertained upon a apecial examination, mada under tho authority of tho Auditor, in which the examiner shall have power to examine, not only the booke, but to put upon thotr oaths one or two gontlaomen whoso names Ican give, and who aro employod by and havo chargo of the Company's accounts. Whon the proper tino arrivox that examination will bo inade, Whilo on thie subject I cite the following cor- tificato: Orvice or thy Fipentrr Savina‘ Dawn, Cutcago, Oct, 5, 147.—This is to certify that the ‘Protection Life Tusuranco Company haa (its duy on depemit in tlie dank, and subject to chock atelent, » Lalauce of $74,648.25, andl that {18 Lalance on the ath of September fast was $92,726.64, Jou C, Haves, Vresident, Bearing in mind that thia Company fs only o ‘Trustee acting for tho mombera; when a lors oc- curs, that it makes the assessment, collecta it, and pays ovor the moucy, the question naturally arives, How comos it that it has $82,000 on de- posit, and whous money is it? Does it belong to tha policy-holders, or is it the monoy which tho Company has made out of them by over-aaseus- ments? With all of this eum iu bank, they goon and make assesement after auscssment, collect- ing money aud nutting it on deposit to the ercdit of the stockholders. Again, Textract from the Company's own rec- ord—tho Adtocate—that, on the 2ith of Decem- bor, 1873, AL. W. Morgan, of Albron, JIL, died, ho holding « policy, and at the time of bis death thore wero i force 8,517 policics, upon which au Assessment was made, On tho 81st of tho sama December the oflicers swore to the Iusurance Dopartinent that there wero only 7,365 policies in forco,—s decrease of 1,152 in soven dayx. In May, 1874, the Adcocale announced that Orrin Forsyth, of Waukegan, died on the 2ith of December, 1873, and that, at the time of his death, the Company bad in force 6,951 poticios, or 1,666 less than they reportod at the time of Morgau's denth, and yet both Morgan and Jor- syth died on the same day. Does Mr, Hil. ard expect mo, or anybody olse, to understand this kind of bookkeeping? It ie said “that figure will not lie,” but it has never beon suid that the men who make the tiguros sro in a simi- lar condition. It is not » matter of wondor that these gentle~ men do not want to raiso new ixsues, and inwint that I shall contino myself to the old ones. I cau only say to them that their history presonts such « record of evagion, fraud, and infamy that it f¥ impossible to coutine the charges to the pasat, Botuch for ther ovo-asseasment business. find shat I owe an apology to this Company for s thoughtless otror in one of my statements, I said, in substance, thatthe Company had is- sued a policy of $2,500 to ovo Mrs. Bothwich, and that, upon her death, an assessment lad been mado and collected, the dobt then com- promised for #250, and the balance of the inoney ($2,250) appropristed by somobody. Upon « more careful oxamination, I tind thal said Pha:be Bothwick, who died at Candor, Tioga County, N. ¥., had two policies,—ono for €2,500 and ove for €6,000, The Company made an as- sessment on both, and collected %6,127, instead ‘of 2,600; the lows wan disputed after satiofac- tory proofs of the desth had been tiled, and the debt compromised for 250, Ishall, thorefore, be obliged to aak Mr. Hilliard what became of tho 65,877? Was it paid back totho policy-hold- ers who bad contributed the money ?_ 1 make this cortection the more readily as Mr. Hilliard has ovidently forgotten to ‘auswer tho former question, and be can now put himself ins position to account for the whole sum, Has it gone to smell the stockholders’ account of cash on hand in the Fi+ delity Savings Bauk? Or has it beou paid back to tha poor policy-holdora from whom it was wrongfully taken 7 It ws sald by tho Protection that I am ‘‘igno- rant of tho subject ou which I write,” i... life iusurance, I regret that thosp men are au thick- skullod that nothing lesa than a caunon-ball can blow an idea into their heads, Ido not profes to ba writing on the subject of life insurauce, but am simply endeavoring to ahow to the public and the people of this Stato that the Protection Life lusurauce Company of Chicago, aa it con. ducts the business of life insurance, is guilty of {raudulont practicos, and is obtaining ther monoy by false protensea and dishonest means, If T shall bo the moans of effecting tant object, ay end will be obtainod, and the Protection cau discuss its principles to itwhoart's content, ‘Tho writer docs not stand alone in his opinion of thiw corrupt concern, I subjoin a few letters from tho Insurance Commissioners of States in which the Protectidn had appliod for sdinission and beon refused, Commissioner Nye, of the Maino Dopartment, eays; I refusod admission at the time for tue reason that I wished to post nfyself tn regard to tho plan of the Company, being sswtred by the agent Wuat it was not & co-operaliveatfair at all, T soon learned that the Goin pany waa not a uafy one for the people of Maine to trust wit money with, and ed to adioit it under any coneideration whatever... .
