Such a bill waa drafted by the Legislative Bill Drafting Department after a oconferen which were present Senator ( Mr. Lord,| Mr. Millburn and others, This bill | wae an alternative measure and at the request of Mr. Lord and Mr. Mil \ burn was Introduced by nator | | Pitcher, Chairman of the Committee | on Banks. The bili provided among other things that the sub-agents be Noensed and bonded by the State Comptroller and subject to his con- trol. While the original Cotillo bill lay 1 | abeyance, Senator Cotillo drafted a| second bill somewhat similar to the Pitcher bill, and these two bills came before the Committee on Banks for a public hearing. It was there suggested that all concerned endeavor to agree upon a measure tory to both sides, but no such agreement was} ever reached. In the mean time, it be- | came known that the Governor did not favor the original Cotillo bill and | that he did not believe the regulatory powers over agents should be reposed | in the State Comptroller. | ALL CONCERNED AGREE ON THE, BILL PASSED. ‘Then on Senator ( of Banks McLiughlir .

No proof was made that a single dollar was raised or used by these companies or their representa- tives for improper purposes, and the investigation has shown that the ac- vities of the legal representatives mentioned were confined to a proper representation of clients who had a right to be heard on any proposed legislation affecting their business. —< .
