<br />Reports from the City Engineer and Public Library for the month of March were
<br />presented and ordered filed.
<br />
<br />At this time the Mayor asked the Recorder to open bids received for the paint
<br />ing of the City Hall. Three bids were presented: Lange and Greenfield, $873.25;
<br />Earl Kast, $659.'70 and W. A. Gilbert~ $290.00. Upon motion made and seconded, Mr.
<br />Gilbert's bid was accepted. All councilmen present voting aye except Carlson. The
<br />local painter's union registered a complaint to the effect that Mr. Gilbert was not
<br />a union man, never had been and could not do the city a good job for that amount of
<br />money. Councilman Carlson stated that there was something decidely wrong with the
<br />bid and that it should be given very careful consideration, but the Council deter~
<br />mined to let the contract go to Mr. Gilbert.
<br />
<br />The Mayor asked the Recorder to open bids received for the installation of th
<br />Police Short-Wave Radio Set. ~ bid from Western Auto ~upply Company for the fUrn~
<br />Ishing of the car receiving sets at $40.80 each was presented. A b~d from the H. W.
<br />White Electric Company for the installation of the transmitter was presented, call-
<br />ing for materials, $650.00 and labor $200.00. The Recorder stated that the amount
<br />budgeted for this radio was $'750.00 and that the two bids combined, which in fact
<br />makes one complete bid, makes a total of $9'72.40 or a total in excess of the amount
<br />budgeted of $222.40. Councilman Carlson stated that it would be impossible to get
<br />better bids and since it was obvious that we do not have the finances with which to
<br />do it properly, it was his suggestion that the radio be forgotten for this year..
<br />Councilman Lamb believed that with the expenditure of this amount of money that it
<br />was very apparent that at the end of another year, additional expenditures would be
<br />required. Councilrrum Hendershott moved and it was seconded that these bids be re-
<br />jected and the recorder be instructed to adv~rtise for new bids and it was so or-
<br />dered.
