MAY CHANCEPLAN
IN POLICE ALARM
Council Considering Uniting
Wiring and Installation
in Contract.

The city commission may change
their plans on the manner in which
the new fire alarm boxes are to be in
stalled. This action may follow as 2
result of a meeting the commission
held this morning with several cleo
trical contractors of the city this
morning.
II was originally planned to adver-
tise for the boxes and their installa-
ton, the wiring to be done by local
labor. This was decided upon to give
local workmen a chance to work on
part of the job.
But the electrical contractors stated
this morning that they expected to bid
upon the job and that in case they
were successful lin landing the contract
that home labor would be employed on
the whole work.
It was stated at the meeting that
the better jobs are always done where
one firm has the contract for all. 1t
may be that this will change the plans
of the council.

Property owners in possession OF

owners represent 2,466 feet of the paw
ing, and the other 1858 feet is either
against the project in its entirety or
for the asphalt paving.
The council is now considering the
plan OF paving with asphalt a resolu
ton TO that effect, having been passed,
and it is TO come up again Monday af-
ternoon. 1t is thought likely that the
type of material will be changed. This
will increase the cost of the project.
