Friday August 15th, 1932, at 9 o ' clock A. M. All the members of said

lowing proceedings were had, to-wit :
The minutes of the preceeding meeting were approved as read.
Permission was granted The Kleh_foth-Voss Co. , to cut the curb at their

A petition signed by Herman F. Pilgrim 's Sons, inc . , for extension
of water main in Northwest 5th Street, from Linden. Avenue to School

The Sup ' t . , of Light Plant , was authorized to return certified checks
deposited with bids on '0ondensor & Auxiliaries, to firms whose oids
on said equipment were eliminated on account of price submitted or
financial responsioility.

The Board decide that the 3% added to light plant bills for current
used by the consumer, as charged under the•.Federal Government tax
law, be paid by the consumer as provided for in said law, as the
electric energy rates had been reduced by the city plant in the
spring, it would be unfair for the city plant :: gay the same, as it
would virtually be another reduction of ra,_ i -f; certain class of con-
sumers of electric energy.
The City Attorney reported he had examined the policy of insurance
111
executed by the Indemnity Insurance Co. , of .North America, to the City
covering public liability in the city parks, resulting from bodily in-
juries accidently suffered or alleged to have been suffered by persons
Slr:�l?7''Ssee- nWSsllde� ti using g , s , ding pools, and all play devices that
are incidental to play grounds, tennis courts & picnic grounds in said
parks, but not in swimming pools.
Stating apparantly, this policy is in proper form, but I know nothing
whatever about the financial standing and ability of the Indemnity
Insurance Co . , of North America, which has executed the policy. You .
will have to make an investigation of this from some other source
than from your legal department . It seems to me that there ought to
be submitted with the policy a statement by the insuror showing its
financial condition and the amount of insurance which it has in force .
The Clerk was directed to request a statement from the Indemnity In-
surance Co . , of North America, thru the Peitz Insurance Agency, for
a statement showing the financial condition and amount of insurance p.
in force by said company.
Claims in amount of 085. 13 5. 13 were allowed, the Board approved the •
various payrolls to August 16th, 1ti32.
The Board then adjourned,
