strengthen the department Of insur-
ance was the subject of long discus
sion In the assembly yesterday. All
three of the bills, which bear the name
OF Assemblyman Bletcher, were finally
ordered to engrossment AID third read
ing, two of them by vive vEce yota
and the other, on which the fire OF the
opposition was centered, by an aye
and no vote Of SO to Is.
Following the failure of the motion
to have the three bills postponed, AS
scmbIvmaa Cortland took the floor
against the passage of all OF them. He
argued that his objection to the pas
sage of bill 447a was that it provided
for an increase of salary to the insur
ance commissioner to take effect with
I the passage and publication the bill
while under the constitution, it was
impossible 10 pass any at which
would depr e the commissioner of the
! foes received for the performance ct
various duties Of his Office. The et-
/ feet OF the passage of these bills, he
/ claimed, would be to give Insurance
. commissioner ll'IHl q NtiltNAN ~ P'sV''
a year, 10 which for the next two years
there would be added all the fees to
( he received in addition, amounting, a.
/ he figured II, to a salary of alb ut
/ $4,000 per annum.
In answer to the argument made
against the bill, Assemblyman Warner
called the attention of the assembly
/ ~ Nuhipb II,
during the next two years continue TO
come to the insurance commissioner
would be used to pay the salary of the
aCtuary Of the state, which amounts
/ to about $4,000 year, so that the in
suranCe commissioner would not be re.
/ cciving double salary as Mr.. Cortland
4 had construed the bill to provide.
! Both Assemblyman Cortland and AS
! semblyman Warner resorted to the
! use Of figures in support of their
statements.

was Numerically opposed to the
statement rendered and read to the
members of the legislature as a com
