GENERAL
HANDS DOWN OPINION
Holds That Person Living in Another
State and Owns Property Here
May Insure in Foreign
Authorized Company

Little Rock, an. 7.-Attorney Gen.
Moose in an official opinion holds that
"a person who lives in another state
and owns property here, which he
wishes to have insured, may make a
contract with a foreign insurance
company authorized to do business in
this state, and that the company may
issue its policy through it's agent in
the state without violating the law.
Of course" he says, "all fire insur-
ance policies covering property in this
state must be issued by companies
authorized to do business in Arkansas,
and through agent resident in this
state, who have been licensed to So
licit business, but it seems to me when
this is done, the question as to how
or by whom the negotiations were be-
gun which resulted in the issuance of
the policy cannot be matter of con-
cern to the state and does not come
within the mischief that was intend
ed to be cured by our insurance laws"

but they preferred another number.
Finally it was taken by E. A. Kings
