Little Terrapin for Insurance Chief.
Two bills, both affecting the Office OF
Insurance commissioner, were returned
TO the assembly at the evening session
with the governors veto. Bill 449 A
provided for increasing the salary OF
commissioner Of insurance from $4,000
to $4,000 The governor said in expla-
nation:
Il do not undervalue the importance
of this office. Its duties are exacting
and require experience and acquaint-
ance with the insurance business
But, in compa ison with salaries paid
to other state officers considering the
grade. character and responsibility OF
each, it IS manifest that this advance
cannot be justifable.'
The otner measure receiving the eX-
ecutiye's disapprovai provided for In
creasing the salaries of employees in
the insurance department and the EN-
Dloyment of extra help. The increases
WERE deputy insurance commissioner
from 81, 500 to S1,S00; chief clerk from
$1,000 to $780, examiner from 1,20O
10 $1,000; license clerk, from 81 200 to
Sl,0U0 and the employment of one ex-
! ira steuographer at $500 per annum
Governor La Toilette said he was un-
willing to approve an increase OF these
salaries at the present time or to sane
ton an increase in such salaries to
, take effect in the future. The bill
fixed the time for its taking effect
two years hence. He also maintained
that if the increase was a present ne
cessity then it should go into effec,
immediately, and ii no eXigency has
arisen calling for the enactment OF
such law to go into effect at once
