1uire all companies organized in any
other State, but desiring to do business
in Ohio, to deposite n hundred
thousand dollars, with the safe AUDI

The bill was generally regarded as
being in the exclusive interest of State
Insurance Companies, and designed to
exclude the eastern companies from the

itch, drain and watercourse laws Of

eotions showed that the ditch law was
egarded indispensable. The motion
o strike out of the bill all after the
,nacting clause was carried. The
nance bills are being acted on this
fternoon. r.
