at Sumner school last fall of $4,000. Be-
tween now and January l the policies on
thirteen of the buildings will expire,
and renewal of the policies calls for
S1,O9675. The amount of insurance
carried on the buildings in question Is
$4,000.
The school board proposes to take the
thousand dollars which would go to the
insurance companies this fall, and make
of it the beginning of permanent sin
surance fund.-" AS the other policies
fall due they will be cancelled. and the
amounts paid into the insurance fund.
In this way the board will soon have IN
its own possession drawing interest and
constantly increasing, a fund large
enough to meet any ordinary or probable
fire loss.
T. A. Beck of the Fifth ward is the
originator of the plan 80 far as it affects
the Topeka schools. At the regular
monthly meeting of the school board
last night he presented his figures. The
whole matter was referred to the build
ing committee of which Mr.. Beck is the
chairman and there is no doubt that the
plan will be adopted The insurance COM
panies will lose good customer in the
Topeka schools.
The policies which fall due this year
are indicated BY the following table:
