May Have TO Pay over Fees.

Lansing. Mich. Sept. 25.-It is not
improbable that suit may be insti-
tuted TO compel Insurance Commission
er stevens TO pay over to the state all
sums OF money, outside of his expenses,
which have been received 10y him for
examining Insurance companies OF
other states. 1t is contended that as
Commissioner Stevens, his deputy, and
at least two Of his examiners are paid
salaries by the state, the money re-
ceived for their services in making the
examinations should be conveyed into
the state treasury. Although the stat
ute does not in terms require the pay
ment of the money TO the state it is
co1tended that the courts would read
such an intent into the law, as 1t could
not be claimed that the legislature in
tended the commissioner TO make $10,-
600 or $4,000 annually out OF these ex-
aminatiors after having provided him
with a salary of $1,000.
