Mr. Edward P . Ierriam, Secy of the School Committee , came
before the Board to discuss the matter of liability insurance
on the school barges . He stated that the School Committee had
received the opinion of the Town Counsel and that he advised
employing only contractors who carried liability insurance . At
the present time the town carries liability on the barges and
the question arose as to whether or not if any accident happened
it would be an easier matter for the town to settle the case if
the contractor carried the insurance rather than the town.
