At the American Bar Association meeting in Portland Maine Henry S Dewey of Boston offered a resolution declaring unwritten law the foundation of all good law and the English common law. The resolution was indefinitely postponed amid debates on regulation of life insurance firms and federal mail bans on fraudulent unlicensed companies. The committee urged public understanding of insurance principles and supervision methods, with two recommendations debated and one tabled.
