Under the new law it is neecssary for each agent selling insurance to have a license from the Federal Government, known as the occu- pational tax license, and also a license from the Territory of Alaska permitting the agent to sell insur- ance for the company or companies appointing him, and no agent is authorized to sell insurance except for companies that have appointed him. In order to protect the people of the Territory from the sale of insurance by unlicensed and un- scrupulous persons, the public is asked to have any person, repre- senting himself as an agent, show his credentials before buying insur- |jance. Both the Territory and the Federal Government provide pen- alties for the sale of insurance by agents who do not have the licenses mentjoned. - The concrete used in the new De- partment of Interior building in following November, Simons held The LO.O.
