OI'I'O.-ITION to senate BILL NO. !)S—REMOK?TUAKCE
RE.U) liEFOKU  THE   .rUDICIARY COMMITTEE.

■ The following- remonstrance, wliich was
reail before the Judiciary Conimiltee of Ihe
State Senate, expresse.s tlie views entertained
by New York ta.\-payer.s and pi'opei'ty owner.s
iu regard to the bill nnthoiizing insurance
companies to loan tlieir surplus fund outside
of the State :

To the Honorable Leqislaliire of (he F-infe t)f ynp
York:

YVe, tlie undersigned, on belialf of the lol¬
lowing associations of real estate holders in
the City of Kew York, viz.: The East Side
Association, The Norlh Side Association,
The AYcst Side A.ssociation, and The Wa.sh
ington Heights Association,

Do respeclfidiy remonstrate against tiie pas¬
sage of tlie act now pending and known as
" Senate bill No. })8,'' and which is intended to
.grant additional ))owers to the corporations
therein named, for tliefollowing reasons, that
is lo .say—

First—The corporations mentioned in that
act iiave special privileges confened upon
them by the laws of this Stale, and particularly
the life insnrance companies, whicli are ex¬
empt from taxation on tlieir personal in'ojierty
(excepting only §100,000), in reluni for whicli
the people of the State are justly entitled lo
receive Aviiatever advantages can be derived
from the judicious and safe investment of their
funds within this State, and particnlarly in the
great beuetits arising irom loans upou bonds
aud mortgages.

Second—It is believed that if this bill should
be passed it will result in the diversion ol large
anu)unts of capital trom this Stale which
ought, of right, to be invested within its bor¬
ders.

Third—That so wide a latitude of invest¬
ments is allowed, namely, the city, village,
count}', or towii bonds of the States mention¬
ed ill the act, and the rale of interest promised
for such investments is so high that the in¬
ducements thus ollered will result in the diver¬
sion of capital from this Slate, and Avill en¬
courage the corporations mentioned iu tlie act
to make investments of donbtfnl security and
propi'iety.

Fourth—That before the recent panic the
demand for loans upon bond aud inoi'tgage
was far in excess of the suppl}', which
was owing to the high rate of taxation, by
reason of which capitalists are deterred from
making sucli loans. Tliatwdien business again
revives there will be need for all the surplus
capital that may be available for loans upon





mortgages or for the  development of the va- j
I'ions iiKlusti'ies of the State.                                    i

Fifth-—Tliat owing to the  injurious system i
of taxation within tliis State, aud the usury |
laws, very large amounts of capital have been j
sent beyond its borders to invest in the West- j
ein and Northwestern States, where the rates !
of interest are higher  than  in this State, by
means of Avhich s^id capitalists escape ta.xa¬
tion ; and il is feared that if this bill be passed
it will open the way for further depletions of
cajilfal in tlie  snme  directions; that  even if
the bill as now drawn is uot broad enough to
accomplish this result, it  is apprehended that
it will be altered so as to remove any restric¬
tions  in  the way  of such  investments.    Re-
sp(!Ctfully submitted.
