It Is recommended that the Ore-

•0 the statutes of the state should
be amended and the legislature should
make a sufficient appropriation to pay
the beneOts for which It provides.
Laws should be passed, snys the com-
missioner, relating to "excess Insur-
ance In unauthorized companies" and
regulating reinsurance contracts and
giving the department supervision
orer the same.
Another new requirement of espe-
cial interest proposed by the com-
missioner 1b that when a receiver Is
appointed by the court to take charge
of any insurance company he should
be require^ to notify every policy-
bolder, as shown b tl^e company's
books, within ten days, and a heavy
penalty should be imposed for each
and every day he falls to perform this
duty. It is further recommended that
hO shoul'l be required to make a sat-
isfactory report to the insurance com-
missioner and to the court every
thirty days.

on record for districting the state,

road, for the purpose of more equit-

If sand and gravel dealers doing
business along the Arkansas and
Grand rivers will recognize the state
claim to title of the river beds they
may make individual contracts with
the board of land commissioners for
taking materials out of the streams.
At a recent meeting of the commis-
sioners John R. Williams, secretary
of the department, and James H.
Chambers, attorney for the commls-
aioners, were instructed to go to
Tulsa and confer with the sand men
on that basis and to fix the royalties.
The disposition of the sand men is
understood to be that they will make
contracts with the state under which
they might take sand and gravel
from tbe rivers, and in the event the
state title is established in court the
contractors agree to pay royalties for
what they have taken, otherwise they
would owe the state nothing. It is
also understood they will resist the
state's effort to collect back royal-
ties.
This question has been quite a
bothersome one, and state officials
express themselves as feeling sure
it will be settled satisfactorily.
