The annual inquiry of the New
York Legislature relative to the sal
ary account of life insurance compa
nips develops great reluctance on the
on
part of some companies to tell what
they are asked to. The meagre in
formation supplied also shws that
the poorest companies paid the high
est price. For instance, one compa
ny paid its vice-president $20,t)67; its
secretary $14,234, and a total of
8116,428, to receive three millions
and manage assets of five millions.
Another company only spent $56,000
to manage assets of four millions and
a half. Another spent $181,000 in
running the company with an income
of only about a million and a half.
