TEST SUIT OVER
insurance LAW
Question of Who Shall Pay
the Premiums Before
Supreme Court.

A suit has Just been instituted
against the state auditing board by
the Northern Fire and Marine 1nsur-
ance company for premiums on an
insurance policy issued to cover a
university building.
There are several companies inter-
ested in the case The case ia sim
ply a test and will be taken directly
to the supreme. court. -.
At the last session Of the state legis-
'lature a bill, was passed repeating the
old public buildings insurance law,
but Attorney General Andrew Miller
has declared that the bill providing
for the repeal was unconstitutional.
The university board of trustees has
taken the position also that the law
is not constitutional and has accepted
insurance policies with the under
standing hat payment would be made
by the state auditing board. Another
reason for the refusal to pay the
premiums Is the fact that the uni
versity has not sufficient funds to
meet the payment.
The present law. and the one that
is being tested. places the cost Of in
surance upon the several institutions.
rather than on the general fund of
the state, as heretofore. About $12,-
900 in premiums Is involved at the
university.
