REPLIES WITH INSINUATION New York Life Insurance Co. 346 Broadway, New York SIXTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT To the Policyholders: At the suggestion of the Board of Trustees, I preface the brief of our Sixty-fifth Annual Report which appears T)elovv with the statement which accompanied the presentation of the full Report to the Board on the 12th inst.

I TT'S a simple matter of paint! MACVICAIt MADE THRUST AT with fire-proof whicl prevents anything it covers VCL-w PRIVATE SALE ARRANGEMENT. from CAtchinar jruu aoiuing rain to nw Superintendent of Streets Advocates Lons Time Bonds at Low Rate of Interest. Fire-Proof Paint "estate either had no knowledge of natural laws or that he "cherished an especial hostility against fine trees. "When the State of New York enacted certain statutes, "insuring economy, eliminating the legislative blackmailer, "compelling publicity and strict accountability it did well. "But when it enacted Section 96 of the insurance code, deliberately intending to stop the natural, sound and growth of this Company, it sinned against nature.

"Obeying tho law, we have been obliged to cut deep into "the Company's living tissue, into its organized working "force, and so 6trong is the Company's vitality, so rapid its "recovery, that we huve been obliged to cut again and again. "Let me give you a few facts; "Our domestio working organization at the close of 1903 "and at the close of 1909 was as follows: Regardless of Councilman MacVicar's declaration that he would oppose the proposition of floating 100,000 worth of 8 per cent bonds to pay for the river front property which haa been condemned for park purposes, Councilman Ash last night stated that he had no Intention of withdrawing his resolution calling for the Issue. Instead, he proposed to carry the deal through as originally planned and will not be sidetracked by the superintendent of street's opposition. Mr. Ash retaliated to MacVicar's thrust on the private sale arrangement ot the contemplated issue by an inslrfuatlon.

MacVloar had a liand In the aale ot the 1160,000 city hall bond issue to Oeorge M. Bechtcl. A majority of the council supposed ttie Issue waa sold to hlns on a straight per cent Interest rate. It developed that the principal was not turned over until several months after the city started to pay Interest. Mr.

Ash, in answering the argument of MacVlcar that 6 per cent ia too high a rate, said: "There's one thing about this, you haven't seen me paying any Interest before we got the money." Mathis in the Open. "The figures placed before you Dy the officers of this "Company, including the income, disbursements and profits "of the year, the balance sheet and detailed schedules of "assets at the close of 1909, make an impressive picture. Xo "fair-minded man, having reviewed the figures, can avoid "the conclusion that energy, capacity and fidelity in adin illustration were not born yesterday in the New-York Life. "Any claim which we as Trustees and officers may have "to approval by the 750,000 families protected by this is made stronger by the willing admission, which we "all make, that our predecossors toiled both mightily and "wisely. "A great life insurance company is not the product of "accident or violence.

It does not arise from a social catastrophe, as a mountain may suddenly arise in the landscape "from a convulsion of nature. It is the product of peace, of "labor, of thought, of energy, of fidelity, of faith, of good "will amongst men. "When a storm has swept over an estate and has done its "cruel and possibly necessary work, the owner may send for "men and direct ftiem to cut away broken and twisted "branches, to prune away unnecessary and unheal thful "growths and clear the ground. Having done this, the men "would hardly be entitled to claim credit, on that account, "for the fact that certain trees were still symmetrical, beautiful, vast in girth and vigorous to the outermost twig. "Any such claim would be presumptuous and the men it would become ridiculous.

"The New-York Life grew like the oak and it tells the same story of storm and tempest survived. "Lately the hurricane came and did its cruel perhaps It an all-purpose paint made In forty-odd handsome colors as easy spreading under the brush, as long lasting, as handsome and furnishes as great protection from the weather as the highest-quality standard paint you can buy.

In opposing the plan advocated by Mr. Ash, Mr. MacVlcar did not wish to be understood that he opposed buying the river front or floating bonds for It On the contrary, he went further than Ash and advocated the purchase of the ground on the west bank In front of the Coliseum, thereby giving the city ownership of both brinks from Grand avenue to the Raccoon forks.

He favored Increasing the bond issue until It would cover the additional expense, but advocated long time bonds at a low rate of interest.
