Kelly Asks City
Take Over Own
Fire Insurance

A recommendation that the city
assume its own fire insurance on
city buildings was made by Coun-
Gilman Richard T. Kelly, Tuesday.
Kelly called premiums paid on
city fire stations an outright
gift to the insurance company"
Asking that a committee be ap-
pointed to study the matter, Kelly
listed the city's success in taking
over the workmen's compensation
obligation.
Without setting up any initial
fund, and with no receipts other
than the premiums that would have
been paid to a private insur-
ance company. the last financial
report shows a balance in the fund
of s87,023.31," he pointed out. "This
is $4,000 We would not have If we
were not carrying our own insur-
ance.
This success prompts me to sug-
gest that serious consideration be
given to the matter of assuming
our own fire insurance on city
