Mutual Life Dividends Seen Largely as Actuary Judgment
New York Oct 25 The Mutual Life Insurance Company committee chaired by Richard A McCurdy learns dividend payments to policy holders come from actuarial judgment rather than strict calculations. Emory McClintock testifies that last year dividends were only about 820000 of a 6624000 gain, with total gains including investments exceeding 35000000. The panel adjourns to November 8 as several members seek re election.
