Govern Building Investment Partner
ships and Fidelity Insurance.
Des Moines, May Governor Cum
nins yesterday signed two OF the
three bills which he had had under
consideration since the legislature
adjourned. They are: To govern
building investment companies which
are partnerships or associations not
incorporated; to permit stock COM
panies, only, to do q fidelity business
in Iowa. One bill remains in the gov.
ernor's hands and will be signed or
vetoed before May IL. This bill re-
quires suit to be brought on notes
held by defuncC insurance concerns in
the counties where the makers reside.
The investment bill requires con-
Germs which are doing building and
loan or tontine investment business,
provided they are not incorporated,
and thus subject to the building and
loan laws, to deposit with the auditor
of state approved securities in the sum
of $4,000, which, with the interest
according therein, shall remain in the
auditors hands to indemnify investors.
Several of these companies have been
organized in Des Moines, Kansas City,
Chicago and Minneapolis, and have
done an enormous business in this
state. Under the new law they will
be compelled to make the deposit of
securities described, or incorporate
and become subject to the building
and loan laws. Some Of them have
started to incorporate already.
The insurance bill prohibits mutual
concerns doing fidelity business, but
permits stock companies to do both a
casualty and fidelity business. The
casualty business is insurance against
loss by unknown persons; the fidelity
business is insurance against loss by
known persons.
