Special to The Observer. j Columbia, S. C, Feb. S. The in 1 sura nee muddle appears to be well on the road to a favorajjle settlemeat, through bills introduced in the Gen eral Assembly and reported favorably to the two branches by the commit tees on Banking and Insurance. Th ' House will take up the bills under 'a ; special order on Tuesday at 12: IS ; o'clock, and it appears that they will go through substantially, as they came from the committee. The bill are on third reading in the Senate with every prospect of favorable ac tion. Enactment of these bills into i law, it is understood, will mean a re- turn of the fire insurance companies to business in South Carolina. The Senate committee reported a hill fixing two per centum as the maximum tax which municipalities can place on insurance companies. The House has one more reading to give the "air tight, bone dry" Richey prohibition bill, and it will then be sent over to the Senate. Just what that body will do is not certain, but indications are that the bill will pass there also. The interest of ihe public is centered in what Governor Manning will do with such a bill and there w intimations on the loor of the lb --sterday during th" debate that the Governor might veto the bill. v PHONE 2700 " " & IS $100.00 50.00 125.00 It a a a mm for mi Y.
