had been called tor the purpose of awarding the bid tor Workmen's Compensation
Insurance tor the City ot Clearwater tor one year. He stated that each Commissioner
had received copies ot the bids and accompanying letters which were opened at the

consideration to paying a higher premium with a possible rebate on the pre WI.
The Comadssion discussed the terms ot the various bids with the tollowing agents
who were present at the meeting: Mr. H. B. Harpham ot the Harpham Insurance

Insurance Company, for a guaranteed premium or $12,036.09 on the basis of the
projected payroll. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried
unanimously.
Commissioner Russell suggested that since this type ot insurance was subjec~
to the regulation of the Florida Industrial Commdssion that the Commission gi..
serious thought to some method for awarding bids for Workmen'. Compensation
Insurance each year along the same lines as it now awards contracts for gasoline.
He said that it might be a good idea for the insurance agencies to torm an .
Insurance Committee for the purpose of working out a method. The Mayor suggested
that the insurance agencies get together as a group and come forward with a plan
for the Commission's consideration.
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting
