ing, but it was shortly afterward
turned off again. AT 4:30 Saturday
afternoon the board of public works
and Aids. Phillips. Reginnitter, Cam
eron and Klauer held a meeting at
the city hall and discussed the advis-
ability of heating the city building
at the municipal expense. 1t was
found that the contract with the
Davenport Gas d Electric company
cost $1,000 for eight months, whereas
il was thought that 500 would pay
all expenses. including an engineer at
500 a month. Notwithstanding the
high price of coal at present. The
gas company was notified of the de
cision by telephone. Shortly after
wards the company turned on the
steam. Later Chief Martens was in
structed to turn it off again, which
he did. Yesterday the boilers were
fired and the city building is heated
with steam generated within the
building at an alleged saving of 5000
for the eight months. 1t is contended
by the aldermen that the Davenport
Gas & Electric company did not, for
81 900 per eight months. furnish the
proper degree of heat. Therefore
the action of Saturday afternoon was
taken. -'H- --'ssl
