BOAXD OF TRUSTEES AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE

[March

12

(16) The University carries property damage and_ public liability insurance on its automobile equipment in accordance with a policy adopted by the Board on March 13, 1028, which provides protection for employees in case of accidents leading to claims. The present policy expires on April 5, 1935, and the Purchasing Agent has submitted proposals received on insurance for one year from that date, the lowest quotation being from the Western and Southern Indemnity Company, through its representative in Champaign and Urbana, Mr. Gerald Gallivan. This quotation is $04248; the next low quotation is from the Sun Indemnity Company of New York in the amount of $1,041.21. The Comptroller recommends that this insurance be placed with the Western and Southern Indemnity Company at the figure indicated; he also recommends that the present public liability limit of $10,000 and $20,000 be increased to $25,000 and $50,000 at an additional cost of $65.61. This will make the cost of the proposed policy $1,008.09, as compared with $1,045.51 paid in 1933 and $1,023.69 paid in 1934, which policies were written on the basis of the lower public liability limits. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, these recommendations were adopted.
