LOCAL INSURANCE LAWS.
Opinion Respecting Application OF
Foreign COMPANY for a Permit.

Opinion Respecting Application of
Foreign Company for n Permit.
The District Commissioners have received
from Clarence A. Brandenberg, assistant at
torney for the District, an opinion upon
the application Of the Security Fire and
Marine Assurance Company of Washington.
D. c., to do business in this city The COM
pany was Incorporated under the laws Of
West Virginia, and not in the District of
Columbia, as the name might suggest. Mr..
Brandenberg says 1T appears that no one Of
the incorporators is a resident of the Dis
trict The company proposes making insur-
ance against all kinds of marine risks,
against loss or damage of any kind Of prop
erty from fire, against loss by reason of de-
fective titles, liens and membranes. and
carrying on the business of trust COM
pany.
After quoting the law concerning such
foreign insurance companies as apply for
permission to do business in the District the
attorney says:
This company would seem to be entitled
to permit to do business in the District
of Columbia, provided required by sec
tons 2 and of the act of January 20. 1887,
before issuing any written authority TO
transact business in the District, the Com
missioners, or a majority of them, shall
satisfy themselves that such company has
complied with the law, which, among other
Things, requires that the company, In or
der to do an inland business, shall have
assets equal to its liabilities, including
reinsurance reserve liability equal to 30 per
centum of the premiums received on one
year risks, and an amount proportioned to
the unexpired term of all other fire risks;
and to do marine business that its assets
are equal to it's liabilities, including REIN
surance reserve liability equal to the total
premiums charged upon all uneXpred in
land marine risks.
THE only liabilities shown by the state
ment transmitted amount TO 100000, rep
resented by the stock outstanding. The
papers are silent as to reinsurance reserve
liabilities, and 1t is, therefore, impossible
to say if the scheduled assets are in fact
equal to its liabilities. including such re-
insurance reserve liability.
Il suggest that in determining the value
Of the assets of this company the Com
miSsioners require it to furnish usual GER
tifcates of title as to ownership of the
land scheduled among its assets, with the
certificate Of the assessor Of the county in
which the same is located as to the value
thereof. l am unable to suggest what
method should be adopted to determine the
value Of the mining and other stock held
by the company.
I'm this connection 1t is proper to call at
tention to the fact that the statement Of
assets and liabilities of the company is upon
information and belief, and is made by a
resident Of the District of Columbia, though
part of the assets are located therein
I'm the event permit is granted 1t should
be restricted to the fire and marine insur-
ance business covered by the application"
