TO PURCHASE BY WHOLESALE.
O'Meara offered the following:
Resolved That the city recorder no.
tify the heads of all departments t.
send to this council at it's next meet.
ing a reouisition for supplies needed il
those departments for six months from
july 1, 1S54.
The object of the resolution was II
enable the council to purchase the sup
plies by wholesale and so get them a,
the lowest price.
Young and Bache thought such Z
method was not practicable, as it would
resolve itself into the city being 9
store keeper and having a big ware
house. There were liable to be leaks
and waste which would overcome any,
thing gained by the wholesale mode O.
purchasing.
The resolution failed of adoption.
voting against it and for it.

Hardy raised the point that the may
or had the right TO make the appoint

order. Judge Hoge was appealed to am
