ira school fund levy, and then the

ion Later the supreme court de-
decided the provision was legal and
that the counties which did not
levy the amount must pay it, This
amount held back was counted On

count.

Insurance Commissioner
Writes County Auditor

! bismarck, \. d., March 19.-
Commissioner OF Insurance W. C.
Taylor, to whose regular official
duties have been added those OF
hail insurance commissioner, is
hard at work shaping up matters
II the new department. He is hope
ful that state hail insurance, as ad-
nmstered under the plan of the
amended act, will justify the ex-
pcctations of its trainers and prove
a boon to the farmers of this state.
Commissioner Taylor has just ad-
dressed the following letter to the
several county auditors Of the state
By enactment of the Thirteenth
Legislative Assembly the State Hail
Insurance law was amended thru
out, and | desire to call your at
tention especially to the following
details:
First. The administration of this
law was transferred from the hands
of the Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor to those of the Commis-
sioner of Insurance, and the trans
fer has been made.
Second. The, premium or rate
for hail insurance has been in-
creased from twenty cents to thirty
cents per acre, it having been de-
monstrated to the satisfaction of
all concerned that the premium
heretofore charged is inadequate.
I Third. The duties of assessors
IL the matter of taking applications
for state hail insurance remain un-
changed, but the basis Of COM
pensation has been changed in that
assessors will hereafter receive as
an application fee sum equivalent
to one-1alf of one per cent for cash
and every acre insured, instead Of
a fee of twenty-five cents for 100
acres or less and ten cents for each
additional 100 acres Or fraction
thereof.
Fourth. Under the original act
the duty Of making adjustment Of
losses devolved upon ''the several
members of the board of county
commissioners, each within their
respective counter This plan
has been abandoned, and the law
now provides that ''the county
commissioners of eacl, county shall!
at the April meeting of the board
one competent person who
shall be a resident of the county to
act as official adjustcr of losses Or
damages caused by hail to any crop
that has been insured under this
chapter
These are the more salient fea-
lures of the State Hail Insurance
law in its present form. In view
of the complete revision Of the orr
ginal Act it has been found ncccs-
sary to order a new supply Of
blanks, printed copies of the law,
etc, throughout. As soon as
these are received from the printer,
a supply will be sent to your Of
