The finance committee made the
following report:
Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the matter of procuring esti-
mates and rates for liability life in
surance of employees Of the City have
| to report that we have procured rates
and estimates and find that the total
estimate of premium to be paid in the
| first instance would be between $500
and Sl4O0 that with the probable in
crease from additional labOrers for
which the city would have to pay
premium over the present estimated
payroll would increase the total pre-
MUM to be paid in one year to at
least one third additional or about
$500 per annum.
In our judgment, the city can best
afford to buy each year an amount
equal to the probable premiums to be
paid and invest it in a revolving
fund, to be used for the purpose OF
paving accident liability and carry
its own insurance against accident
and other liability that they would
be insured against under a casualty
and accident policy.
