FEE MUST Be PAID UP
INSURANCE BROKERS TO BE COM
PEELED TO TAKE OUT LICENSES.

State Insurance Commissioner Dearth
is taking steps to prevent imposition on
the part of insurance brokers in this state.
There is a brokers' license Of $40 yearly
and Mr.. breath proposes to exact this
from every person who engages in this
method of writing fire insurance For
every policy written without the pay
ment of such fee there is a fine fixed
by law of SIS.
Bir Dearth says the number of people
who engage i'll the insurance business,
on the side, as it We're is astonishingIy
large in this state. Many agents are
assisted in getting policies by those who
are not regularly engaged in the busf-
ness and against this, on the part of
the person lending the assistance, the
state has law. Hereafter, therefore,
when an outsider secures a policy unless
he shall have paid the brokers' fee of
$40 a year, he will be dealt with, OF
apprellended.
