CITY INSURANCE
REPORT HELD UP
Water Board Strong for Ezercis-
ing Its PrerogatiVeS

Every city department from
which replies have been received,
, with the exception of the fire and
water departments, has signified a
readiness to comply with the recon-
mendations of the special commit
tee on fire insurance, it was report
cd at a meeting of the committee
last evening. The school depart
ment and board of selectmen have
rot replied to the committees re-
quest and therefore the attitude of
these two bodies Is not officially
known. The water board has taken
the stand that it would be advisable
TO hold the insurance policies in
stead of turning them over to the
city hall commission, while the fire
board claims the expense of increas-
ing the insurance on the fire de-
partment building precludes the
carrying out Of the recommended
ton.
Only William G. Dunn, Harry G.
Hancock and Councilman Stanley
VI. Cooper attended the meeting.
Councilman Cooper presided and
was instructed to ask the council
at the meeting tomorrow evening
for a months extension Of the time
allotted for presenting the report.
The committee was instructed TO
make a report at the August meet
ing. but it will be impossible to
carry out the instruction on account
of the delay in obtaining reports
from the school department and
board of selectmen.
