1t Is generally conceded in Legislative
circles that the Dupuy bill to create q
State insurance department will not pass.
The bill is now in the hands of sub
committee>from the House Committee on
General Laws. There are many who
earnestly advocate it's passage, but
should the measure get through the
House it would hardly passhthe Senate.
