MUTUAL INSURANCE.
On motion by Mr.. OLLEMAN, the House
took up bills on the third reading.
Mr.. McNey's bill III. X. No. III to amend
sections 30, -. IS and 81, of the act for the in
corporation Of Insurance Companies, &C., APP
proved June Il, 1852, coming up
Mr.. NEWCOMB explained that it was law
to amend the present statutes in regard TO Mu-
tual Insurance Companies. Itrequires $4,000
in premium notes before the Company can go
into operation. This will give solyency 10
every new Company. Secondly: The party
may pay cash instead Of a premium note.
| Thirdly. Instead OF distribution every five
years, the earnings shall be added to the stock.
Mr.. BUSKIRK said, the provision doing
away with premium notes would command
his vote; so that when man takes policy he
knows precisely what he has to pay.
Nj. CHURCH. lie would vote for q bill de-
claring that every travelling insurance agent
shall get out of the State. He thought he saw
an opportunity here for deception of the peo-
| pie. He gave examples.
Mr.. C0fFROTIl said the purpose Of this
bill was to provide against the defects OF the
existing law-tO place these companies OH a
more permanent basis. So
Mr.. SHUEY. If there was wildcat any
where, it was to be found In this bill. Every
stock holder holds his own premium note,
and $4,000 pile of these notes contributes all
| the security which these mutual insurance
companies propose to losers. Then by prOys-
! ion OF the bill, these mutual insurance compa-
mics may, 10y trick Of legerdemain, change
their character into that OF stock companies,
without making the deposits, as required 10y
existing law.
Mr.. BURWELL denounced Mutual In
surance Companies rs systematized swindling.
This bill might by amending the system
! give il character. lie was opposed to
! giving the system any shadow OF Responsibility.
Mr.. WOODS thought this bill WAS worse
than the old law. 1t On to the Mutual In
surance agents power TO twist themselves into
position where they play the double part
of mutual and stock companies; and gave their
agents power TO run away with all the money
the poor man has, instead of taking only five
per cent.
Mr. NEWC0MB defended the provisions Of
the bill. 1t would make the people ten times
more secure than they now against these
companies. The provision that the stockhol-
der may pay money instead Of his premium
note, was a common feature in all insurance
companies. Then II provides that the cash
accumulations shsll be added TO its capital till
IL amounts to 800 900. to pay losses. The I'd
section would secure the State against the or
! ganizaton of n single bogus company.
Mr.. GRON Is demanded the previous ques-
ton, and, under its force, the bill was passed
the House--yeas %, nays %.
On motion Of Mr.. GREGORY, OF Warren,
! 10 was ordered that when the House adjourns
! it shall be till o'clock tonight.
