WILDCAT" INSURANCE.
Unlicensed Companies Reported to be Doing
Business in the State.

The commissioner of Insurance, Mr..
Jas. X. Young, an ever alert office, has
issued timely letter with refereae e to
underground and wild cat" insurance
companies.
Many OF these companies are attempting
TO do business in the. STATE. Eff such
companies will attempt to cheat the
State, says Mr.. Young, "then the public
need not be surprised if they treat them
in the same way. Such companies will
defraud you or your wife and children
when the opportunity presents itself.
These companies know that contract
made with them is illegal and cannot be
collected under our laws"
Mr.. Young says further:
Among these companies reported os do
ing or seeking to do business in the State
are: Commonwealth Insurance Company,
of Chicago; Commonwealth SAVINGS ard
Insurance Company, of Richmond; Great
Britain Insurance Company Mercantile
Fire Insurance Company, OF Chicago; Mer-
camille Fire and Marine, Washington, ID.
c.; Victoria; London Fire Office, Limited;
Mutual Fire OF Baltimore; Mercantile
Mutual Fire; Millers Mutual Fire and
other companies of the class known as
mill Mutuals''; Western Consolidated
Underwriters. Of Chicago; Triple Link
Life Insurance Company, of Illinois; Old
Wayne Mutual Life, of Indianapolis, ard
others.
MANY of these companies have no as
sets or standing in their own States, and
when they do legitimate business, they
have to pay taxes in their own and other
States. This department has collected
from licensed companies and paid into
the State Treasury over $4,000 since
the first Of last April. and those COM
panies not contributing to this fund do
not deserve the patronage of the citiz Els
of North Carolina"
Insurance companies are required to
file a statement showing their business
standing and financial condition on or be-
fore March 1st. These must be published
in some newspaper in the State.
Blanks for these reports have teen
mailed to the insurance companies by the

The Sanitary Committee recommended
that the appropriation to Rex Hospital
be increased from 500 per month to $166
per month. This was the amount of the
monthly apportionment tothe hospital
before the board cut it down several
months ago.
After much discussion the Aldermen
decided that they must have contract
with the hospital to care for all the pa
tients that might be sent to the institu-
ton by the city. The matter was re-
ferred to the Mayor ard City Attorney,
who were directed to draw up such a
contract.
