One June 1, 1941, the responsibility of the state supervision over certain
instalment houses was assigned to this office by the Legislature through the
Acts of 1941, Chapter 851. This called for a small increase in the personnel
of the department, who though handicapped by the sudden abnormal ex-
pansion of business brought on by the war, have been able by their super-
vision to hold to a minimum those abuses that necessitated the passage of
such an Act by the General Assembly. This section of the office is also
sustained by the fees obtained for licenses secured therefrom.
