Tunnel.
Messrs. Robinson and Layton charac,
terized the Richardson bill as a measure
placing a premium on rascality and one
which is driving insurance companies
away from the state 1t tended to make
both agents and the people dishonest as
a man who owned $500 house could,
through an unscrupulous agent. insure IL
for 81, 0D0, burn It and make $500 to the
detriment Of the company and the danger
Of the community at large. The Sussex
countians contended that it was impos.
sible to get companies to take risks in
Sussex county.
Senators Pilling and Williams de-
Tended the law and denied the assertion
that Delawareans can not get insurance
Senator Pilling said he had over $l25 900
insurance and did uot have any trouble
to get IT, That it was the business of
the company and their agents TO know
what risks were taken; to ascertain the
value Of them, and make the amount and
rate conform to the true valuation Of the
property
Mr. Robinson said that If Senator Pill
ing got insurance outside the state he
could not collect as there was no way TO
get service upon the company
Sanatar Williams lau0hod % thfe
proposition and said that the matter
could be placed in the hand of the United
States Court.
Speaker Houston supported the repeal
saying that his insurance rate had in.
creased from per cent. to per cent.
during the four years that the law has
been in operation.
Taken altogether, 1t was very chilly
reception.
Yesterday afternoon ex-senator Rich
ardson, who had probably heard of the
fight against the law, was In the Senate
chamber defending the measure Senator
Williams informed him of the specific
objections Mr.. Richardson said that
the objection was due TO the way in
which Sussex countains insure their
property for much more than it is worth.
Both sides were heard during the noon
recess
