There were present Mayor Thorpe, Alderm an-at-Large Liinley, Aldermen Aumiek, Callahan, Leahy, Johnson, Brown, Graebner, Meyers and Marion, Corporation Counsel Cuddeback and OJerk Cleary. After council had been called to or der, George W. Case representing the W h ite Company of New York, pVe- sented a verbal bid to furnish a truck worth $9,000. H'e would waive his profit of $970, howe%’er, in order that the city m ight get a truck that he felt was the best for the taxpayers, which would make th e ’^bost price $8,030. Clerk Cleary then opened two seal ed. bids which, were as follows; Robin son Fire Apparauis Company, or St. L ouis , represented locally by the Ku- lan Auto Company. $7,745. Accom panying the bid was an offer of $200 contribution for the firemen’s parade July 4. Later, a representative of the, company, who was present, lowered the hid to $7,500 but the mayor felt a bid could not: be changed after it was once spread on the table.

After a brief discussion between members of the council and the local representatives of the other compan ies, who were present, the board on motion of Mr. Graebner awarded the contract to the La France Company, the low est bidder. The board decided later in the evening to put the old truck in repair. It was, damaged a few mornings, ago,-when the firemen- were responding to an alarm aerpss the track.
