'Companies To
Divide Gty’s
Lis. Program
A knotty problem which had
frustrated efforts to establish a
health and accident insurance pro
gram for city employes was solv
ed last night when two competing
insurance companies agreed to
split the business.
Asa result of the compromise,
the New York Life Insurance Cos.
was given the contract for health
insurance coverage and the Gulf
Life Cos. will get the life insur
ance.
Mayor C. B. Harvey and Com
missioner Paul R. Roberts cast the
only dissenting votes.
Harvey based his opposition on
the fact that Gulf Life actually was
low bidder on the health insurance.
“I’m going to be forced to vote no
on this motion. It seems that the
agreement means that the high
bidder on the health insurance is
going to get the bid. We asked for
bids and the low bidder should get
the contract,” said the Mayor.
Commissioner Roberts explained
his vote simply: “I haven’t chang
ed my mind."
Commissioner Delio Cobo, who
held the key vote, said, “I’m glad
they got together, the city will be
nefit by it."
Commissioners Louis Carbonell
and Jack Delaney voted to OK the
proposal.
City Considers
Land Transfer
The city commission will meet
with the Monroe County Anti-Mos
quito District commison shortly to
discuss their request for a plot of
land at the city dump to construct
storage facilities for their equip
ment and office space.
William Warner, director of the
district, and Neil Saunders, chair
man of the Mosquito panel, appeal
ed to the commission last night
for the deed to the land.
But the city fathers expressed
the thought that they would grant
a long term lease but would not
agree to giving the land outright.
They held that the city might need
the land in the future.
Saunders said he was sure his
panel would ge along with such
an arrangement.
Mayor C. B. Harvey also took
time out last night to laud the op
eration of the anti-mosquito forc
es who have taken over the super
vision of a sanitary fill program
at the city dump. "It has been a
very beneficial arrangment for us,”
said the Mayor.
Worker Escapes
Death In Hopper
MILWAUKEE UR - Edward
Schaffer, 41, slid through a giant
dock-side hopper with 10 tons of
coal yesterday and escaped with
out injury.
The coal had become stuck in
the hopper and Schaffer and sev
eral other employes went to the
top to poke it loose. Schaffer lost
his balance and fell in.
Other workmen left the opening
at the bottom of the hopper open
and after about 10 tons of coal j
had poured through, Schaffer fell
out, unconscious.
He was revived, taken to a hos
pital and later released.

Burton Expects
To Attend JC
Meeting Wed.
Forum On NAL,
County Dispute
Will Be Held
W. A. Burton will be pre
sent at the regular meeting
of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday night
to give members a run-down
of National’s side of the
present dispute between the
airline and the county over
the collection of fees for air
port improvements before
the airport is improved.
Burton, who is administrative
assistance to G. T. Baker, presi
dent of National Airlines will have
with him the airlines top opera
tional man who will answer ques
tions which may arise.
Previously Canceled
The airline official was to have
been present at a previous meeting
but was called to Washington for
a conference and had to cancel the
visit.
County commissioners have been
invited to send a representative to
the meeting to make it a public
forum
The dispute has risen out of the
county's putting a fifty cent head
tax on all passengers coming in
and out of the airport. National
has refused to pay the passsenger
tax on the ground that the facili
ties aren’t worth it and are not in
line with charges of similar airport
fees.
Natonal has set a limit of $359
a month until the airport is im
proved and the county has set a
minimum of $425 a month. Both
sides have taken the respective
stands as a matter of principle.
The . üblic is invited to the meet
ing.
