Opinion of the Court

Reed, J.

— Plaintiff’s capital stock is one hundred thousand dollars. Of that amount twenty-five thousand dollars has been paid up, and for the remaining seventy-five thousand dollars it holds the obligations of the stockholders.

It also held that plaintiff was liable to assessment on its monies and credits — after deducting from the amount certain unpaid losses, and' forty per cent, of the gross premiums — and plaintiff’s appeal is from that part of the order.
