It was the opinion of the Council that the offer of $25.00 per month for the leasing of the two buildings was very low but there was not much that the City could do about it at this time as the Engineers had moved in. A motion was made by Stewart and seconded by Baker that the Council should complete the purchase of the plant and that the price be taken out of the ,emregency fund. On vote the motion was carried. A motion was made by Davis and seconded by Barette that the City accept the Engiheers offer of a rent payment of $25.00 per month.
