Ceed Fields on The
Council

The city council met in adjourned
session last night for the purpose OF
taking up the several bond proposi-
tions, lately submitted to the finance
committee and the city park board.
Enough opposition developed to de-
feat the proposed contract OF the
SwanwicK company, Of joplin, and
the one of like nature submitted by
Bert Billings OF this city. In the dis
cussi0n the feelings OF the different
members were expressed on the sub
iect, the consensus of which was
that in accepting the hyphenated bid
Of the construction companies, the
city would, figuratlvely speaking, be
bnying "a pig in a poke. Both pro-
positions were turned down The
council then requested all bond buy
ers present TO submit bids for both
the park bonds and the via0uct bonds.
Splitter, Rorick & Co, and A. j. Nc
Nfahan, of Oklahoma City, were repre-
sented by agents and NJ L.. Turner
was present IN person. Sealed bids
were first presented to the council.
The best bid submitted was by c.
A. Fitzgerald, for the McMahan com
pany, it being par for both ISSUES ano
d commission OF 5000. NJ. L. Tnr-
ner then requested the council to re-
ject the bids and auction the bonds to
...e highest bidder.
AT this juncture Bill Coyle,
known along the Cottonwood as a
town knocker par excellence, took
part in the proceedings. He declar-
ed that ii the bonds were sold the
park board would spend 500, 900 in

scored the knockers. When he sat
