The Thuringla Fire and Life Insurance
company of Erfurt , Germany , has Just filed
1 < charter to enable It to do business in this
state The statement shows that the company
liao dcpoelte-d $2nn.OOO In New Yo-k , In order
to handle Its American business. In con
nection with the matter of chartering for-
cicti Insurance companies it Is learned that
the foreign countries are very strict with
American companies doing business iitross
ti'e water , requiring them to inake a detailed
prone ty statement lifting - hepioiierry at
1's actual value , without regard to Its orig
inal cost. Some of the elates hove adopted
e milar rules toward the foreign companies
c uning to this country to do business , t-nd
early last spring the insurance drpa-tinei't
of Nebraska figured strongly on following the
example. Auditor Cornell , howcve- , con
cluded that Inasmuch as these statements 1-ad
never been required by other administrations
he would not require them now , and the
companies are allowed to come in without
Inquiry into their financial standing In Eu-
