1t was decided today at the meeting
of the Insurance Fund Commission to
arrange for a date on which to inspect
all municipal buildings in order to ia
miliarize the members with the value
of all property the insurance of which
is either carried by the commission or
given to outside companies through IT..
This, 1t is believed, will enable the COM
m%issioners to act more ~intelligently on
all policies that come before them n
be the means of saving money in case
some of the insurance carried Is
thought too high.
1t was also agreed that in the future
all policies will be placed for n year
at h fiat rate and h lowest rate
be obtained in all cases. Brokers are
| notified when given a policy tina II
their rate is not the lowest the board
will cancel the policy Immediately.
Policies on the almshouse and Morris
and Summer e lighthouses were
renewed. The commission assumed
s65, 900 on the almshouse and gave $780,
| 600 to outside companies, 100000 to Jo-
seph M. Byrne and s10,0 900 to the New
! ark Fire Insurance Company.
Each of the bathhouse polcies was
renewed for $40, 900, and the city as

done. Insurance on the Shade Tree
