Accidents Increase
Insurance Rates for
County

Montgomery County's insur-
ance premiums took a sharp up
turn this year because of a series
of accidents during 1858, the
county council was told yester-
day.
The trend was reported as the
council was asked to transfer
some $4,000 from other funds to
the insurance accounts to make
up the premiums.
! The council this year has had
to pay $4,000 for comprehen-
sive liability and property dam
age insurance covering it's fleet
and $4,000 for workmen's COM
pensation.
Increase of $4,000.
That's a total increase of
$4,000 over premiums paid last
year.
The higher rates resulted
partially from the beer truck
accident last December which
caused the death of two Ken
sington youths and the deaths
in the line Of duty of two police
men and q. tree division employe.
The county lost its 20 per cent
credit received in the past on
vehicle insurance and in addi-
ton had to pay a Is per cent
higher premium this year.
The higher rates also were
brought on by the increase in
the ainount of liability insur-
ance carried.
Councilmen, in approving the
transfer of funds, also ordered
that the finance department sub
init a full report on the insur-
ance situation.
To Screen Applicants.
The council yesterday set up
a meeting Monday night for
screening applications for the
still vacant county managers
post.
Councilmen Robert T. Snure
and Wilbur N. Baughman told
the meeting that during the re-
cent international City Manag-
ers' Association meeting in
Miami they interviewed % per-
sons for the post.
Both, however. urged the coun-
Gil to take sharp look for a
county man for the job. They
also recommended that before a
decision be made Louis Brown
low, former president of the
ICMA and now of Washington,
be called in to give his advice
in the selection of a manager.
Charles Jamison suggested a
group of county businessmen
also be called in on the selection.
Ii an out-of county man Is
selected. Mr.. Snure and Mr..
Baughman suggested chat coun-
Gil representatives visit the APP
plicant's present community to
learn firsthand about him.
Sewer Project Ok'd.
The council yesterday ap-
proved storm sewer project for
Gatewood avenue in Burnt Mills
Hills but provided that steps be
taken to satisfy residents who
oppose the project. The con-
tract will be awarded immedi-
ately, according to Joseph Kor-
della, acting public works di-
rector, and should be completed
in three or four weeks.

tive delegation and State welfare
officials on the State welfare pro-
gram.

Jerry Coleman's liner and
streaked a far distance to his

The Senators grabbed a 20

The Yankees still need one
more victory to set an American
league record for victories by a
second-place club. They current
ly are tied with the 100 games
