BARLOW, Newly Elected President. Mr. Barlow’s banking career covers a period of some thirty years. He was born in Cérhwall, Litchneéld county, and at an early age removed to New Miiford, where he received His edu- catibn. While still a boy, he entered the Fifst National Bank of’ New Mil- ford as clerk; and after remaining there for a time was engaged as as- sistant to National Bank Examiner Mygatt. He remained in this_position for about four years. In the year 1884 he was chosen to.the position of teller of the First National bank of New.Mil- ford and remained there about ‘even Aears, ‘when an opportunity came for promotion t6 a larger field of useful- | ness and in 1891 he accepted the posi- tion of teller in the Poquonock Na- tional bank of Bridgeport, which posi- tion he held for thirteen years. When in 1903 changes were made In the of- ficlals of the Yale National bank of New Haven, and the position of cash- ier was vacant, Mr. Barlow, being highly recommended for the office, fe- ceived the appointment from a list of ahout fifty applicants and has served the bank in that capacity ever since. NEW LONDON-GROTON FERRY. Unfaverable Report of All Measures Affecting It—Contention Settled. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, June 17.—The settlement of the contention over the New Lon- don-Groton ferry and its rates, which has ogcupied the attention of the com- mittee on roads, rivers and bridges all of this session, as well as all of the sessions of every legislature in re- cent years, has been settled by the unfavorable report of all measures af+ fecting it and their rejection by the house—and doubtleds next week by the senate—in a manner which is/ highly satisfactory to all of the rep-' resentatives. and senators from that vicinity, with the possible exception ‘of Senator Latimer of Groton. The chances are that Mayor Armstrong of New London and the Groton sympa- thizers who®wished the rates of ferri- age reduced and ‘even offered to tak over the ferry and run it at reduced rates may not feel as well pleased but the owners of the Thames Ferry company doubtless are and-the house the fact that the fight over this mat- has done in some previous segsions. It is stated privately thatj if the committee had seen fit to recommend and the general assembly to pass a measure under which the rates would be reduced, the result would have been that the Thames Ferry company would be obliged to apply for a receiver or borrow money from family sources already carrying heavy account of the ferry which are hardly likely to be lightened. This was made | plain to the committee and has been to members of the house. And while the offer made to take over the ferry béen taken up by the legislature, much | doubt is felt as to whether those in- | terested would have really come for- ward to carry out this offer, which | was known to have been inspired by Mayér Armstrong. | The position of the committee roads, rivers and bridges, of which | Mr. Bushnéll of Norwich is clerk, was considerable pressure brought to bear in faver of the Armetrong side of the contention. mer appeared béfore the committee at two hearings in favor of reduced rates' 8¢ ferriage. which went to into the matter, Messrs. Smith of Chester, New London to look which consisted of LaFrance could see no reason why the state should interfere in the conduct of the |, ferry as at present run and made that report to the full committee.

During the t three years the Company has steadily reduced i1ts expenses, so that it is enabled to make'q. further increase in benefits. Industrial insurance policies have a-unit of weekly premium—three “cents, five cents and multiples thereof—and the amount of insurance varies with the age. All Industrial Life policies (premiums cease ane\r age 74), Endowment policies at age 860 and Adult Twenty-year Endowment Policies issued since Jan. 1, 1907, will be increased in benefits about ten per cent., according to a néw table of benefits adopted for policies issued after July 1, 1909. In other words, not only does the Company issue a new table for policies hereafter issued, but it makes the increase retro- active since the present form of Limited Payment and Endowment at age 80 policies were adopted. Upon the OLD INDUSTRIAL POLICIES the Company is paying out TWO AND A HALF MILL- IONS OF DOLLARS IN BONUSES 1HIS YEAR, bringing up the total Bonuses and Concessiens upen Industrial policies to EIGHTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN SIXTEEN YEARS. This is OVER AND ABOVE ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS expressed or implied in the policies. The Metropolitan in its Tndvstrial Department has the lowes: Ratio of Expease of all the Industrial Insvrance Companies in the worldg which pay immediate benefits. In FIVE YEARS its Ratio of Expense to-Premium Income has been Reduced 8 per cent., representing an Annual Saving of Three and a Half Millions of Dollars The new Convertible policy issued /hy the Company is a novel form of insurance which becomes fully paid-up life insurance in a few years and is then automatically converted into endowment insurance, the maturity of which is periodically shortened as paymeént of prem- iums continues, The Company is abreast of the public démand for combination of term insurance and annuities, and serves the public better than any other agency. 'INDUSTRIAL POLICIES IN FORCE: NEARLY 9,500,000, INSURING NEARLY $1,500,000,000, ORDINARY DEPARTMENT Thé Company has reduced expensez six per cent. in this Department in the last FIVE years—representing an ANNUAL SAVING OF OVER A MILLION AND A QUARTER OF DOLLARS IN THE ORDINARY DEPARTMENT. The Company issues policies in the Ordinary Department in amounts from $500 to $1,000,000 ;upon a'l approved plans at the lowest.rates. IN 1908 IT WROTE MORE PAID-FOR BUSINESS IN ITS ORDINARY OLD LINE INSURANCE (exclusive of Industrial), in the United States and Canada, THAN ANY OTHER COMPANY, All of‘ its pelicies in the Ordinary as well as the Industrial Department are written on the non-pcrticipating plan. The Metrepolitan pays its dividends at the start—that is to say, it cuts down the premiums. It believes the plain, common-sense men who make up the bulk of policy-holders look for a plain business contract. By, plain busines: cortracts we mean those which teli their whole story upon their face: which leave nothing to the imagination, borrow nothing from hope, require definite conditions and make definite promises in dollars and cents, In both Departments combined the Company has, in each of the past fifteen years, written more paid-for insurance than any other company in the world The Company upen Hs Total Business Has in the Last Ten Years Reduced Its Ratio of Expenses to Premiom Income Fitteen Per Cent M C HIGGINS Supt I.
