The. county knows now what -coverage it has and- surely it's nothing more than' the sin�iple . matter of asking other' insurance firms' to. ,submit , prices for providing the ,sames•amount of"cdverage, The county broker advised'tha.t anew-- carnpany could'- terminate ,coverage at any r _ — time if .they,' found. it unprgfitable after the policies:came ifito force.
