Boston August 11. Directors of the Massachusetts Benefit Life association met at 60 State Street to consider appointing a receiver and to discuss absorbing members via a New York Life offer.

A two thirds vote is not required under state law for this scenario, Aug. 31 is set as the next decision date, and the offer was rejected as premature.
