Committee, after study and review, recommends the following: 1. The fire coverage to be $1,700,000.00 on a replacement cost basis with 90% co- insurance endorsement. Also recommended fire coverage be on a 5 -year installment plan, instead of present budget plan. Reclassification from Class 4 to Class 3 and other rate reductions has provided a return premium of *4,697.00, sufficient to pay the first year's premium and return a balance of $1,824.00. 2. Liability and property damages should be increased to $300,000 - 1,000,000.00 for liability and $100,000.00 for property damage. The maximum standard premium would be $28,700.00 with a minimum premium of *20,820.00 based on experience. From the last informa- tion available it would appear that the City will have earned pre- mium of $7,500.00 during 1954 -55. This would mean an appropriation in the 1955 -56 budget of $21,500.00, a reduction of the anticipated appropriation by $3,500.00.
