MAYOR WANTS ACT CREATING
 ACTURIAL BUREAU REPEALED

Agitation has begun again, led by Mayor Simon Bloom of Pine Bluff, for the repeal of the act creating the Acturial Bureau for the regulation of Fire Insurance. Mayor Bloom claims that it is a trust restraining compe- tition. Insurance men, however, are contending that it is the only scienti- fic way to handle insurance rates, and insist that they will be able to con vince the members of the Legislature that it should not be repealed. The act was passed in 1913, and the state has been thoroughly surveyed and rated under it.
