commissioner, as provided for by section 158 of this article,
shall ascertain that any insurance company doing business in
this State is writing and issuing policies upon an insufficient,
insecure or impracticable table of rates, then he shall report
the same to the insurance commissioner, who, upon such report,
shall notify such insurance company so writing or issuing poli-
cies at rates less than are deemed in the opinion of said actuary
adequate for the protection of its contracts made with its policy-
holders, of the fact of such report and advice; and shall there-
upon, if such company shall refuse or neglect to adjust its rates
in accordance with the advice of said actuary, cause an exami-
nation to be made into the affairs of said company as provided
in sub-section fifth, of section 160 of this article, and if the
opinion of said actuary be sustained by the result of such
examination it shall be the duty of the insurance commissioner
to require said company to cease writing and issuing policies at
rates so found to be insufficient. If said insurance company
continues the writing and issuing of such policies after notice
from the insurance commissioner, then it shall be the duty of
the insurance commissioner to institute proceedings against said
company as provided in section 160 of this article.
