The forward section was soon brought under control, but before the brakes could be applied to the lat- ter, it crashed into the other, der’ailing four or five ears.

HE comparative merits of the so-called “purely mutual” system of manage- ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the largest proxy-mutual company in the New England States (the Connec- ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the fETNA LIFE, the largest com- pany with stock management. ~. The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and expenses on real estate ' in 1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or 342911.31 more than its entire income from that source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in- come was realized from its surplus, nor from the $525,093.79 (the excess of real estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as shown above. $42,911.31. Of the jETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of J anuary. last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount- ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00. Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to which add its in- come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone. The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, o,f S42.9l|.3l. - These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular, as the ETN A LIFE, it would.- havc gained. in the year 1896, over its present ex- perience, $469,138,25.): ' . $10,000—1TEN5PAYMENT LIFE PLAN—AGE 57.
