penses, including salaries, printing,
postage, etc, amounted to $19,636.25.
This is the largest amount taken in
by the department in one year, says
Commissioner Host in making the an
nual statement.
Some idea of the value of the Wis

tanned from the following letter sent
to Insurance Commissioner Host by E.
w. Krackowizer, former Milwaukee
newspaper man, now in New York.
Can you oblige me with your de-
partments blank forms for annual re-
ports of IRE and life insurance com

You will be pleased, though per-
haps not surprised, to learn that Mr..
Hughes went out of his way, the
other day, during the examination of
Mr.. Hendricks, to commend the Wis
consin forms as compared with those
of New York, and that in the investi-
cation, your current annual report
was the standard for reference"
