Thirty Days Allowed by Law

Vandi, er's recent letter to the insur-
ance company, Attorney Judson said:
Your letter assumes the solvency
of the company and its ability to per-
form its contracts and the absence of
these conditions are the only grounds
upon which you are empowered to re.
woke company's license. We submit,
apart from all other considerations
and even conceding for the moment
that you have the power under the sta
tutes to take such action, that II
should not be taken without giving the
parties interested a chance to DO
heard"
The superintendent Of insurance
said that under the law 30 days were
required for notice to the company.
His letter to Mr.. Mccall is under date
Of October Z. which, he says, would
make November z the approximate
date when the revocation would be-
come operative. From that time, he
declared, the company would have 80
additional DAYS in which to arrange
It's affairs for withdrawal, In case the
order Is issued.

were left behind. The horses dashed
over small cliff and went down in a
frightful mass. The 29th battery be-
