Dear Sir: ag,reemen$
You have asked our opinion as to whether. a mutual assess-

tinue its corporate existence as a mutual assessment association by the re-
tention of another group, club, or class. which is not made subject to the
“reinsurance” agreement.
A mutual assessment association is an association of indi-
viduals or group5 of individuals fn tbi ,busiaess ,d q+adly protecting or
insuring their lives by assessmsnts made npoe ruch members No stat-e-
