INSURANCE BROKERS HIT
IN NEW STATE SCHEME
Must Fill in Question Blanks
lust Sent Out if They Wish
to Stay in Business.
TO SAFEGUARD INSURED
Department Takes Drastic
Action to End Alleged Dishon-
est Practices Applications
Must Be Filed Before July 1.

Insurance brokers in this state, who
number in all twelve thousand, received
in their mail yesterday morning an ap-
plication blank, which each must fill and
file with the State Department of Insur-
ance before July l. if they wish tc con-
tinue in business after that date.
The nature Of the questions which each
broker must answer marks somewhat
radical departure in the states methods
of dealing with private business. and in
some quarters the trainers Of the blank
were ccnsured for what the mildest of
the critics called their overzealous pa
tcrnalsm. The greatest objection was to
question No. II. which reads:
Has applicant ever been charged By
an employer with irregularities n money
tranSactiOns?'
This question" said one insurance
broker. who requested that his name be
not used 'is wholly improper"

riders in a fire insurance policy reads as
follows:
THE assured guarantees that no par,
Of these premises are used for business
And yet frequently insurance companies
default on policies where such a rider
appears; for instance. in the case OF an
apartment house where, after the policy
has been issued. dressmaker moves in
and starts a small business there.
The application blank also demands that
the applicant tell the place OF his birth.
when he arrived in this city, what schools
or colleges he attended, when and how
long, and where he has been employed
since he left school,
Easy to Disqualify a Broker.
Elijah r. Kennedy, OF the insurance
brokerage firm OF Weed G. Kennedy, one
Of the Oldest and best known In the city,
took the situation philosophically.
"Speaking selfshly-and this is true Of
every other established broker-the more
stringent the law. the better 1t Is for US

6itions il would be easy to disqualify a

Willis o. Robb, chairman Of the Ne"
York Board Of Fire Underwriters, de-
clned to discuss the application blanks'
He said the reason for the searching form
of the questions was due 10 the law.
