LEGAL aDVFRTISEMENT
CALL FOR BID
The extraordinary session of the
legislature which met in 1946 pas
sed an Act. Chapter 9. revising
and extending workmen’s com
pensation to include territorial
employees.
Through inadvertance, the legis
lators made no specific appropria
tion for the insurance of territorial
employees. Therefore, I think
it advisable for their protection
that it be issued and paid for out
of the Governor’s emergency fund.
Since the Act does not go into
effect until June 30, it will be
necessary only to have insurance
for seven months, or until Janu
ary 30, when the next legislature
will be in session and in a posi
tion to appropriate for future in
surance for territorial employees, i
Insurance agencies doing busi
ness in the Territory are there
fore requested, if interested, to
submit bids in writing, in tripli- j
cate, to the Governor’s Office.!
Bids will be opened at the Gov
ernor’s Office at two o’clock p.m.,
Friday, June 28.
The right is reserved to reject
any or all bids.
