On behalf of many members of the above company who are dissatisfied with the past management of its affairs, we respectfully in- vite your co-operation in the efforts which are being made— ist. To secure a substantial reduction fu the salaries and running expenses paid by the com- ny, and in the rates of insurance; vdly. To have the of the company thoroughly examined, and to compel the mana- ers to account for all the money y which they ave iHegally received as salaries, for all profits realized by them on the funds of the company in thelr hands, and for all deficiencies found to Xist in the assets; and Sadly. As a preliminary step to elect a board of managers Who will have no interest in con- cealing or covering up any of the past transac- tions of the company, or in refusing to compel the present managers to give a strict account of weir stewardship. In setting before ca our reasons for seeking’ to effect these objects, we shall not. indulge in of what “unscrupulous and self-seeking men” might do, but we shall confine ourselves to a statement of what has actually been done by the very honorable and a ae who have managed the affairs of is company for so many years. The company was organized in 1955, on the mutual principle, the aim of which 1s to fur- nish insurance to the members at the actual cost thereof. Under the charter, its affairs are entrusted to seven managers, chosen annually at a general meeting of all the policy-holders. From the organizaiion down to the annual meeting in 18+9, the great body of the members seem to have taken no active part in the man- agement, and substantially (re same board continued in control; but at that meeting a committee of seven lc: holders was ap- pointed to Investigate the accounts and general affairs of the company, and report to an ad- journed meeting on the ist February, 1879, Oa the last-mentioned day the committee sub- mitted an elaborate report, the correctness of Which was conceded on all sides, and which was printed and distributed. closures made by the report were the ist.

So great was the interest excited by the report, that at the ensuing election 2,237 ballots were he highest number ever’ cast before that time being about 500, Upon counting ae votes: it was found that Geo, 'T. enn Coch- ran, J. 8. Edwards, and Samuel Norment had received a majority of the whole vote cast. Mr. Norment being the only member of the old board re-elected, although the members of that board cast 223 votes, presumably, for them selves. John B. Clagett, William King and Henry Polkinhorn recelved the next hig ighest number of votes, but less than a majority, and at a subsequent élection Messrs. Clagett, Polkin- horn and L. H. Schneider were chosen to com- Bee the board. The newly elected members nized and demanded possession ot the books ag L papers of the company, which was refused. is stage of the proceedings it seems to have occa to the old board that although y had been overwhelmingly defeated at the pole, they might still use the funds of the com- pany to advantage in employing lawyers to pick some flaw in the title of their chosen suc- cessors, The result of this new move was that the old board undertook to declare the election void, on the ground that they had caused the only one newspaper, and only ten days before the meeting, whereas the charter required ty 0 weeks note to be pabusted a eno nee papers; and thereupon they pul a notice that a new election would be held. The elec- sions under which this same board of ers had held office for years would have been open to the same objection. In thecall for the new meeting the managers designated at the place the oflice of the company, which had been found entirely too smail to’ accommodate the ng, Which had for that reason wdjourned to a large hall. When remonstranee was made, on the ground that the room was not adequate for the purpose of holding a meeting which 2,000 or 3,000 persons had-a right to attend, one of the managers replied that, “those who wished to Vote might come there and vote, and those who wanted to make speeches might No other course being left, the members posed to the old board obti ined an in against the holding of an e Dearing, Edwards, Cochran, and Schneider commenced proce their title passed upon by the court delays, the case Was heard and the that the election was void, on the that the notice given by the in compliance with the ¢ r many ided le ground id board Was not er, having been er ays before the meeting in- stead of two Weeks. This ended the controversy, and made another election necessary In the course ‘of the litigation, tt appeared that a iarge number of the two hundred and twenty-three votes y the managers at the last election were in virtue of stall risks upon wood-hous es, and privies, one of the manage: Having sixteen risks r. Bar on the buildings on lot 11, square 238, the total ot joes not exteed $3,000, and eight vies. AS every risk in this company, whether large or small, entitles the holder to one vote, the impropriety of accepting so many small risks from the same be apparent. x jection having been thus annulled, the old board holds over under the charter un- Ssors are chosen. Instead of tal have a new election immediately, lain duty juired, they saw fit to | as’ thelr lengthen their lease of office by postponing the election until January. They probably found ity convenient to use the funds of the com- pany to bire lawyers to keep them in office in Heflance of the wil of the majority of the ment. | bers who voted at the last election, and they appear to be not insensible of the advantage which the control of these funds gives them in the impending contest. For the first time since | the organization of the company they have de- clared a general dividend among the policy holders. [i does not appear why this dividend should be 25 per cent. rather than 10 per cent. or 50 percent. The disposition tobe made of the surplus funds is a matter to be determined by the policy holders themselves, and not by a de facto board, who have been repudiated by a majority of their constituents, and whose object in ‘taking such action a the eve of an election «is too to require comment. Besides declaring tht this dividend the cae | managers have, at the Same time, published in the daily press and in pamphlet coe he an address to the policy-holders. The cost ef this publication must have been considerable, and We presume that these thrifty gentlemen have had it charged to the company. 8 the charter of the company r @ state- ment of its affairs to be published at the end R of the yenr, and as no election was to be held be- Tore that time, the publication of a partial statement a month in advance would have a under any ieee cvanton Ww ampuilet taken os with a Glorindation or is pape scandalous insinuations against the objects and motives of those op) themsel without the Knowledge or consent of the policy-holders, salaries averaging, in 1877 ‘ands 1878, $50.00 yeach for every meeting at- tended by = or whether the —pre- servation of the absolutely re- — that they should loan its surplus to themselves at six per cent. in- terest, when the current rate and the rate at which they were themselves lendiug money was ten per cent.;or whether they “felt constrained, by asense of he when repudiated at the of ihe money them in office, and set Pat naugae policy- holders by taking advantage of a technical de- fect in a notice rid en by ps or whether it was merely a tender rd for the true inter- ests of the company which induced them to de- fer the election for several months, and to im- prove the time thus one by manipulating the Surplus funds to their own advantage, and pub- lishing, at great cost to the company, an ad- dsess praising themselves and vilifying and slandering all who oppose them. If the man- agers have made such 2 record when ‘suided and controlled solely by the deterritnation to rotect and defend the company,” what would have happened if they had been “unscrupulous and self-seeking. "The limits which we have Prescribed for our- selves will not permit us to go into eny extend- ed criticism of the tigures submitted by the managers, but we cannot refrain from calling attention to two items, which may serve to give some idea of the degree of accuracy with which the accounts and records of the company have been kept. By a careful analysis of the state- hients eontained on pp. 1and4of the pamph- Jet, and a comparison with the statement sub- mitted by the investigating committee, (Rep.. p. 14,) It will be found that there is a deficit. of about $6,000, or nearly $9,000, if the extra inter- est due from MeKelden (see Rep., p. 16,) is taken into account. By comparing the amonnt of outstanding insurance with the estimate of the same item given to the committee by the secre- tary, (Rep.. p. 18,) it will be found that the sec- retary made an error in this item-of about $3,000,000, The managers also tue occasion to parade certain reforms which thf have made, or pro- to make after January 1st—two of them, the employment of a surveyor and the abolition of the fee for making surveys, being in violation of the by-laws of the company. It should be borne in mind that although the same managers had had control for many years, no reforms of any kind were attemoted until they were de- manded by the policy-holders, at the last. elec- tion, in a manner not to be mistaken. Nor let it be supposed that as the managers have shown a tardy disposition to make some concessions to the demands of the policy-holders, there is no longer any necessity for a change of adminis- tration. Something has been done, but much remains to be done, and much that these mana- gers cannot be expected to do. Th> iltegal salaries taken by them, which they ougiil to be compelled to refund, amount, with simple in- terest added to more than $13,000.00. The addi- tional interest which they ought to be required to pay on the funds of the aan in their hands exceeds in amount $5,330.00. ‘The bonus received by McKelden on the Marble building amounts, with interest added. to $1,838.20. We have called attention to a defielt of from 36, to $9,000 and others may be developed by a car fulexamination. The salaries under the re- vised schedule are still unreasonable, and no reduction whatever has been made in the rate of insurance, allhough it has been demonstrated that it might be reduced one-halt.
