at the possibility that the city might
have TO pay compensation for fire
men injured In out-of-town fires,
or taht II might have to pay for In
juries to persons or damage to prop
erty which might occur In fighting
out OF town fires.
Firemen Liable
Mr. Sullivan reported that the
city, itself, cannot be held RESPONSE
BILE for such damages, but indiVld-
ual firemen can be sued.
Mr.. Sullivan recommended that
an agreement be made with insur-
ance companies so that firemen
could be protected while covering
out OF town fires, II the practice Is
TO go ON.
The present liability insurance
held by the city covers the firemen
only when covering local blazeS.
Contracts with neishborlng

made only by the mayor and the
Board OF Aldermen.
