Number that Have Failed
to incorporate.
WILL TAKE STEPS AT ONCE
tFrom a Staff correspOndent)

there are about seventy insurance com
panies doing business in the state who
have failed to incorporate and are there
fore working in defiance OF law and are
liable to prosecution.
Many OF these companies are mutuals
and according TO the attorney general the
members thereof are assuming unlimited
responsibility availability because II is a
partnership pure and simple.
The attention OF the attorney general
has been called to the matter by secre-
tsry OF State Pool for he believes that
they should be required to pay the fee
Of two dollars and come IN under the
requirements OF the law.
View of Attorney General.
The opinion Of the attorney general is
as follows:
With reference to your inquiry today
IN which you say that seventy companies
are operating as insurance companies In
this state without having first filed in
your office their articles OF Incorporation.
VIII say y Is great surprise that such
state OF facts exists. They should be
by law should have been paid IN -ad-
vance INTO the state treasury, and, upon
your certificate showing that the articles
OF incorporation or association had been
FILED In your office, permission by the
state insurance board through its score
tary should have issued permitting and
ance.
Any attempt to contract a mutual as
sessment liability by any such companies,
articles of Incorporation filed in your
office and that OF the county clerk of
the county where the principal place Of
after permission obtained from the state
insurance board. would be creating .un-
limited liability on the part OF the several
simple. and which was not contemplated
by the insurance code, the laws OF the
state. and, no doubt, not the intention OF
NOSE VINO are interested In the several
