Insurance report cites Armstrong amendments impact on New York life firms
Albany June 27 1907 Superintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss transmits to Governor Hughes a report by J H Woodward on Armstrong amendments to New York insurance law. The audit shows a three year drop in New York life business mainly due to disclosures, with recovery underway as lapse and surrender losses remain high, and notes that fresh capital is not essential for a healthy company while expenses have fallen and policyholder costs saved.
