I renew the recommendation made by me to the last Legislature relative to the enactment of a law for the regulation of the business of insurance in this State.

The object of such law should be to provide for the security ot pob-cy holders. It should provide, 'at the expense of the companies, for a supervision of the business by an authorized agent of the State, charged with the duty of examining into the affairs of all the companies doing or offering to do business in this State, with a view to the detection and exclusion of the false and fraudulent ones, and the protection and regulation of the good and reliable. There is in my mind no question as to the ower and duty of the State thus to provide for the security of its citizens from fraud and at the same time leave opportunity for full and free competition between all companies worthy of public confidence. vertence, tailed to become ertec- tive.
