AND BANKING.

The biennial report of Insurance
Commissioner Charles H. Maull was
issued last Friday.
The total receipts of the depart
ment during l909 were S44,74O. 20;
during 1910 they were $47, 500. II.
The disbursements each year were
So, 700. The profits to the State for
the respective years, therefore, were
S42, ,040.29, and S44,S66. II.
The commissioner states that the
contingent funds of the department
appropriated for the two years by
the General Assembly were made
quate to defray the necessary ex-
penses. The report continues: !:
lone reason for the deficiency in the
amount of such funds for this de-
partment's use was that your hon
orable body did not take into con-
sideration the fact that during the
present commissioners inCnm-
bency of office it has been necessary
for all travelling expenses necessi-
tated by his official duties to be de-
frayed from the contingent fund and
from his private funds, whereas be-
fore his term the commissioners
transportation was given them free
by the railroads " Expenses Of
postage, printing, etc, are also re-
ferred to.
The report further says:
Chapter 40, Volume "a, Laws
of Delaware, imposes upon the COM
missioner the duty of collecting
from every State bank savings bank
trust aud loan company, an annual
tax of one-ffth of one percentum
upon the amount of its capital stock
surplus and undivided profits.
This statue also prescribes many
duties and imposes much work on
the insurance commissioner with
out adding in any way to his re-
muneration. All officers of the COun-
ties and of the State whose duty it
is to collect taxes, other than the
insurance commissioner, receive a
percentage therOf, varying in
amount.
The exercise of the departments
supervision over banking and kin
dred corporations is more costly to
the State than the exercise of its
supervision over insurance COM
panies and fraternal, beneficial and
charitable associations, but the pro-
lection afforded the public thereby
is incompatible with cost Of it.
After enumerating the business
done in Delaware by different
classes accompanies during the past
two years, Commissioner Maull
makes several suggestions.
Along with this report he pre-
sents the biennial report of the Blu
reau of Banking. The Insurance
Commissioner is ex-oficio banking
commissioner, The total amount
received during 1909 by the bureau /
was SI7, 10000; in 1910 the amount
was SIT ,48S. 90. The cost Of main
tenance each year was SI,2 200. The
aggregate Of deposits in State
banking institutions, Sebtember ],
1910, was $I9, 864,SIS.
The commissioner recommends !
that a law be enacted providing for
at least one thorough examination
each year of every banking institu-
lion under hhe supervision Of the
bureau.
