SURETY BOND men ORGANIZE
Omaha Firms Form Association for Pur-
poses Of Legislation This Winter.
WANT SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE LAW
Most Important Measure Contemplate
co Limit Liabilities OF surety
Company by ChnnEinE
single Bond Limit.

The Surety Underwriters associa ton has
been organized by the surety bond men OF
Omaha. IL Is announced as partly for So
cial and partly for business purposes, in
cluded in It's business aims being the pas
sage OF laws at the session Of the legisla-
ture this winter.
These are the officers: President, Il. s.
Bryne, general agent, Fidelity and Deposit
ompany of Maryland; first vice president,
Georgc Dodson Of r. r. Howell & Co.;
second vice president, Richard Purcell Of
Webster, Howard & Co., third vice presi-
dent, Robert A. Morrison OF MciKle a. Morrl-
son; secretary, J. r. Wells Of the Brennan
Love company; treasurer w. +. steele
OF Ringwalt Bros. The following commit

Drew: permanent orgsnizs ton, J. r. Wells
c. W. Drew, W. Z. Steele, legislation, r.
b Howell, J. r. Wells p, J. Tebblns.
The most important bill & Is proposed to
introduce is one TO limit the liabilities Of
surety companies by limiting the liability
on any single bond to an amount not OK
ceeding one-tcnth the capital Of the COM
pany or, what would be more desirable to
the majority. an amount not exceeding
one-tenth of the capital, plus the surplus,
At present the Nebraska laws are very lax
in this respect and thore is no limit TO
the money company may risk on a single
man. One company in Omaha with a cap
ital of 100000 is known 20 have placed a
bond OF $4,000 on one man in the state,
and similar instances where single Habit
ity has exceeded the capital are common.
Provision of Iowa Law.
Iowa has a law which limits the liability
In a single case TO one-tenth the capital;
members of the new Omaha organization
say this is n step in the right direction,
but It would be only just to make the
basis the combined capital and surplus.
Where two companies with the same cap
ital are concerned. but where the surplus
in one case is greater than the other they
argue It would be right to establish the
same limit. For instance, if a company
has S1,OOOOOO capital and $5OO,oOO surplus,
the limit on single bond ought to he
$4,000; II It has 100000 capital and no
surplus, the limit ought to be 100000 The
Iowa law would make the same limit in
both cases.
Several important measures were passed
by the last legislature at the instance OF
the surety bond men. Among them was
a law allowing the companies TO write
saloon men and one limiting the duration
of bank depository bonds 10 the term OF
I the treasurer bonded.

that Douglas county should have the speak

basis on which the claim will be urged. The
second is that Douglas county will send tc

two arguments it will be urged that theii
candidate is as we'll qualified for speaker az
