will be settled at another conference 10 be hello IN
Albany Monday, and the substitute Dill - eA-
pected TO go TO the committee Tuesday.
Objections were made 10 the bill as originally IN
troduced on the ground that IL gave the Supertn-
tendent too great power to step in and take contro
without first getting permission Of the courts and
that the procedure used in dealing with banks had
been followed too closely. Superintendent Hotch-
kiss agreed 10 a new bill which would provide that
the Insurance Department must first get permission
OF the courts before stepping in, except In certain
emergency cases. The provisions for lQuidating an
insurance company by the Superintendent have
been eliminated from the bill and will be left TO be
drawn up by the department in its discretion.
