Bill to create state fre marshal nearly killed in senate
The bill establishing the state fre marshal office was nearly killed upon engrossment as 21 amendments were adopted. A Morton proposal moved appointing and supervision from the state superintendent of insurance to the governor. Senators Harrie Rodgers Whit ledge Gardner and others warned of dangers of giving such authority to one official. Gardner called it an effort by Paoles fire insurance firms to harass the public, while Whit ledge argued it would let the state extract favors for the companies. Morton and Goodson supported reducing insurance costs, claiming the measure would yield greater savings than any other. After broad amendments the bill was trimmed to near originals and sent to the informal calendar with little chance of recall.
