DOC GONE SUCH INSURANCE

A Mobile man who insured his dog with company not authorized to do business in Alabama and who complained to the insurance depart ment when the company declined to pay for the dogs death will never complain again. Instead of getting the assistance of the insurance de- pertinent in collecting the amount due, the Mobile man will be forced to pay the state per cent of the amount which he paid as a premium to the unauthorized company.
 Frank N, Julian, commissioner of insurance. told the story today, but declined to give tho name of the Mobile man. .The insurance laws protect only persons who have their policies in companies authorized to do business fin Alabama. They fur ther provide that insurance compa- nies shall ray a certain percentage of their gross premium for the en- forcement of the insurance laws. Another provision Is that any person who places his insurance with a company not qualified to do business in this state must remit 8 per cent of the premium to the insurance de- partment.
 A dog gone, insurance unpaid and an additional levy of per cent Commissioner Julian is wondering if this man will not patronize com panies who are authorized in the fu- ture.
