 Insurance Field Untouched. ''There is so far as have observed, and talked with the members of the Legislature. tust one really important subject upon which 1t is unlikely there will be any new laws suggested this wintes.", said an offi- dai at the Capitol Building the other day. That is the subject of Insurance ''of course you never can tell what bills will come up at a session of Legislature, or which of those bills the solons may de- eide to pass, but there has been no special demand for any insurance laws at this ses- sion. and haven't heard of any bills to be introduced.
 .'The laws of Alabama upon that sub feet at the present time are good. and will compare very favorably with those of any other state Consequently, l doubt that any insurance legislation, at least of any i'm portance will be considered by the fnem- bers of the two houses at this session" Representative A.
