new INSURANCE LAW
URGED FOR DISTRICT
Baldwin Tells Commissioners Ac-
tion by Next Congress
Is Needed.

Hope that Congress will enact the
new insurance code for the District
at the next session was expressed to
the Commissioners yesterday in the
annual report of Thomas NJ Baldwin,
superintendent of insurance.
The report shows that during the
calendar year 1924 the total of pre-
miums paid by Washingtonians for all
kinds of insurance was S19,637,322.5S.
Losses paid by insurance companies
during the year amounted to S6,513,-
8S433. These figures represent an in
crease of 100000 in premiums over
1928 and an increase of $1,000 in
losses over 1923.
The insurance department issued
432 licenses for the writing of all
classes of insurance during 1924. an
increase of Al over the license total
of 1923.
Mr.. Baldwin stated that a bill also
would be introduced in the new
Congress for the regulation of fra
ternal insurance, which is not covered
in the proposed new insurance code of
the District.

stituted inquiries on the next occasion

"Why is IT," he asked, that, instead
OF singing the hymn In reyereni
