There Is some question as to the right to bar 's company when ones ad- ' fritted, as long as It Is solvent, and the matter will probably be considered when the times comes to Issue new licenses. Deputy Pierce suggested that where ex aminations may be considered necessary the states may combine to have ths work done by expert actuaries. May Vltlato Dipsomanias Law. Deputy County Attorney Tyrrell has ren dered an opinion to the county board that no fees can ba collected under the new dlp somanlao law by the members of the county Insanity commission, ths witnesses or offi cers. He bases this conclusion on ths omission of thoj.. new enactment to provide for the payment of fees, but he states that ths failure to provide compensation does not necessarily relieve the officers of the duty of enforcing the act. Should the omission of the legislature to . provide for the payment of fees be held by ths court to bar payment for services, it Is pointed out, ths statute would become dim- , cult of enforcement, especially If there were no provision for the 'payment of witness , fees, sines ordinarily the witness may re quire payment in advance. The question raised by the county official will probably be carried Into the courts, since C. C. Mar ' ley, a member of the commission, has signi ' fled his Intention to appeal should his claim be rejected. Seeks to Find Daughter.
