The Finance committee, to which this matter was referred at the last meeting ot the council, was granted a recess to make a final check of the proposals submitted by I Employers Mutual Casualty C o., a reduced rale company with which the city has carried this insurance the past several years, and the St. Paul Mercury and Indemnity and Phoenix Indemnity, both standard rate com panies. The committee brought in its unanimous recommendation that the rolicy be placed with the St. Taiil Mercury and Indemnity to include policemen, firemen on duty either in or outside the city limits and all other compensable employes of the city, but excluding WPA or relief workers whose wages are paid by the Federal government: that the taking of this insurance at standard rates for each of the classifications of employment be not condition upon the placing of any other substantiat ing policy with the company, either public liability, bodily injury or property damage. The report was approved by unanimous vote. By its action the council approved discontinuance of a bodily injury and property damage policy carried on the fire truck the past several years, at a cost of more than ?50 a year, and frowned upon the carrying of public liability insurance for its em ployes something proposed this year for the first time.
