In connection with the laSUrance on the building we wish to advise that under recommenda- ' tien" of our broker, the Frank Cow - tui Agency, we have reduced the amount of insurance on the old -bnilding to the amount of $60,000 and in turn this amount will be reduced monthly until such time as there is very little insurance left when the new addition will have been completed. However, to Offset .any possible loss at the pre- sent ime>yur committee have taken out an extra expense policy %-the amount of $100,000 for a per:- . Lod of one year. Since the county council has given approval to build •the new addition to the County _ Home, under insurance regulations the old building. is. therefere_con- sidered to be of little value. How - • .

Therefore, it would pos- sibly be necessary tohave patients out in private nursing homes, etc.; and this woutcl',..be'W fairly expen- sive item. The reduction in prem- iuxii bx reducing the insurance on the old'hutlding will offset the cost of the extra expense policy. There- fore, there will be no additional cost to, the county by rearranging the said insurance. There has been one matter which has been brought to the attention of the committe and that is in con- nection with the hiring of work- men at the County Home in con- nection with the construction job. The arrangements relative to the. above subject are as follows: (a) certain key personnel will be brought in by Con -Eng. Construc- tion Limited, (b) local Union men wiU be hired where available, (c) ailing the availability of Union men, then nOn-Union local labor can be hired. It is anticipated that our deben- tures wj.1 be ready for the public very shortly abd that the former warden, William Jewitt, and the Clerk -Treasurer will go to Toronto, sign the necessary -documents and transmit these debentures to Nes- bitt, Thomson and Company Ltd. Historic Committee Your committee met with Dr. J. WI—Grant, of the Ryerson Press, relative to the preparation of the History of Huron Comity, Dr:' Grant pointed out that costa of printing or publishing, the history will de- pend a great deal on the length of the book, the ,uumber of books'to be distributed, the Ailing:ler •of_ il- lustrations, the type of binding, and paper, etc. He also advised that actual costs can not be del 4ermined until the work on the manuscript. has been .completed, The' matter of insurance in con- nection with the .articles, in the Museum was discussed by your. committee. with Mr. John Kennedy of the Frank Cowan -Agency. Mr. Kennedy suggested that an invehtory)-sheuld be taken by the Curator 'in order that some value .could be placed on the entire col- lection. This inventory has been completed and has been transmit- ted to the insurance agency. Your committee authorized the, purchase of six 21/2 -gallon water - type fire extinguishers of anti- freeze solution for the County Mus- eum, three being placed on each floor, This -in turn will show a sav- ing -in our insurance rate.
