The only objection was that the company at the
start limited itself to $500 yet he under
stood that the policy-holders were asking for
this very increase Of risks. 1t was in no bad
faith towards them.

ing the third reading Of the bill WAS reconsid-
cred Senator Needham then moved that the
Senate propose to the House an amendment,
providing that the bill shall not take effect UNI

for that purpose, accept it.
The amendment was agreed to, and the bill
was passed as amended.
