Bonding Firms Pull Out Of Nevada Over New Bond Law
Bonding companies withdraw from Nevada after a 1909 law requires deposits with the State Treasurer equal to five percent of bond liabilities. Premiums last year totaled 12536 dollars, with the largest firm holding policies worth about 4462480 dollars. To continue in business after July 1, deposits would exceed 223140 dollars, over 30 times their Nevada income, threatening trust positions in banks and railroads and likely forcing buyers to accept bonds from individuals. The State Printing Office has finished publishing the 1909 Statutes.
