The Texas State Board of Insurance asks for 5,173,664 to run in 1962-63 with 2,638,878 for 1962 and 2,534,786 for 1963. The request boosts staff and includes six field actuaries at 47,880 annually to inspect reserves, sparked by W. L. Bridges disclosures. Chairman Penn J. Jackson credits examiners for exposing the tangle while noting current workload on reserves.
