Certificates Cut From Five Thousand To Two Thousand
The American Legion of Honor meeting in Boston decided to scale down existing certificates from 5000 to 2000 to offset heavy death claims. Older certificate holders lose 3000 in insurance while paying on the new 2000 basis. Despite declines in membership and double assessments, the order says it must adhere to the law. Secretary Warnock said outstanding 5000 policies have been reduced to 2000 and the situation remains contentious among members.
