rendered an opinion to William n. Hotchkiss Su-
perfntendent of Insurance, concerning the proper
interpretation Of Section g. or the insurance law.
limiting the expenses which insurance companies
may make for business, IN which he holds
that the limitation applies to each individual agent
and is not an aggregate limitation This ruling is
under the Interpretation OF this section made by
the Appellate Division, in the case Of Boswell agL
the Security Life Insurance Company.
The Attorney General has also advised Superin-
tendent Hotchkiss that. under the decision of tho
Court Of Appeals in this case. the limitation
of Section 81 application to new business
secured under contracts entered into before the
passage OF the law.
The opinion called for by the Superintendent
OF Insurance because of opinion which he had
received from ex-Attorney General Jackson last
December. in which he advised that the Court
of Appeals had reversed the Interpretation of
Section 81 made by the Appellate Division in this
case The Attorney General now advises the
SUPERINTENDENT TO disregard the opinion. pointing

Interpretation OF the law made by the Appellate
Division. but reversed the decision on another
ground
