 Supt. Harold E. Chittenden was ordered by the board at the Novem- Der meeting to contact mutual corn- panies concerning insurance to see what savings the school board might make. It was brought out at the session that although some mutual firms have local agents, two big firms do not have local representatives. The school insurance, most of which is in stock companies now and placed through several local agents, should be increased in the opinion of several members of the board. At the meeting last month, Emil Mannweiler said 1t Is the duty of the board to the citizens here to con- slider the savings offered by the fnu- tual companies. Some members of the board seemed to oppose the idea of placing all the insurance with mutual companies.
 The financial report of the school department will also be given.
