McLinden company for cement side
walks and curbs on certain streets was
read and accepted, and a few bills were
read and ordered paid. The principal
business Of the evening was the pur-
chase of a motor fire engineA and after
much d~eliberation Council concluded
not to award the contract until the next
regular meeting of Council, owing to
the fact that two of the members were
absent, and the additional fact that
Council desired more time to look into
the matter. The representatives of the
several companies bidding were pres
ent, and in reply to a question, Mayor
Hoffman stated that it was his indlvid-
ual opinion that the contract would be
awarded at the next meeting, and
further stated that it was not necessary
for the representatives OF the companies
to take the time and go to the ex pense
of attending this meeting, unless they
desired to do so, as Council had all the
information relative to the merits of
the various machines that could be OBJ
tanned, and that the successful bidder
would be promptly notified Of the ac-
ton of Council. At this ju%ncture John
w. Young appeared before Council
and read q resolution passed by the
