According to the cooperative insur-
ance companies the report says: "The
honorable attorney general, under date of
February 25, decided that cooperation or
mutual assessment insurance companies
could not be admitted to do business in
this state under article 2971a, and after
wards addressed communication to this
Office requesting me to furnish him the
names of all insurance companies doing
business in the state in violation of the
law.
In reply this office forwarded to him
a list of over twenty companies. Among
these was the Crescent Insurance com
pany, of New Orleans, La. | now believe
that an error was committed in regard to
this company, and that the policy in the
company that was furnished this office
and on which the charge against the COM
was based was written without the
authority or knowledge of the company
A number of cases of agents doing
business for unauthorized companies have
been reported to this Office, and by mt
have been referred to the honorable
attorney general.
L OF the agricultural department Mr.. Eos
ter speaks as follows:
By an act of the Twentieth legislature
approved April l, 1887, the name of thi:
department was changed to the depart
ment of agriculture, insurance, statistic:
and history, and the commissioners charged
with the additional duty of arranging ant
adopting some plan for collecting ant
publishing agricultural and from stats
tics. Work in this branch of the Office
was commenced in September. Blanks
were prepared and forwarded to assessor
of taxes in the various counties, with thu
view of blaming as full reports in rela-
| +in,, 10 lt1r in Toorfinulpr and Nthn
subjects in general as the means at com
mand would justify.
These reports will be compiled and pub
lished as soon as practicable after tn
assessors have completed their work.
The statistical part of the report i
very full, conveniently arranged and vii
be found of interest, especially to insur
ance men.
The entire report was compiled by Mis-
B. B. Brewster, the chief clerk of the de
partment, and it is most compact, wei
arranged and accurate public documen
Should a change be made Miss Betti
would prove a most efficient chief of th
department.
