The Insurance Bureau Bill,

Assessor Trimble today made a report upon
Senate bill 1901, to establish an insurance bu-
reau in the District of Columbia, in which he
said: The proposed bill, while possessing in
some respects undoubted merit, is, in the
opinion Of this Office, too cumberous, too elab-
crate in its requirements and, above all, too
expensive.
''Great as is the necessity for amendments
to existing law" Mr.. Trimble says, II can
no. recommend the passage OF this bill,
but would respectfully suggest that if Con-
gress will authorize aud provide for
an insurance clerk with fair salary
(S2,0 00), who will be able to give his individual
attention to insurance matters, the public in
terest would be as well protected and at much
less expense than in the proposed bill"
