THE INSURANCE LAWS.
Sheriff Instructed to Make Special Efforts
to Arrest Violators of These Laws.
The Secretary of State has sent to
the sheriffs of the different counties
an abstract of the insurance laws to
gether with a classified list of all the
insurance companies licensed to do
business in North Carolina. In a
communication addressed to the
sheriff it is stated that 'complaint is
repeatedly made to this office that un
licensed Insurance Companies are
doing business in this State, and so de
priving the State of Revenue which it
ought to receive, and obtaining the
profits of business which should go to
the companies that comply with the
insurance laws. There is ample pro
vision in the laws for the punishment
of unlicensed agents of unlicensed
companies, if they cia be detected.
But the law makes no special pro
vision for the detection of. those who
violate it,"
The officers are instructed to make
efforts to arrest all persons who vio
late the Insurance Laws.
