ceive the report Of the medical board

ed, hut the contracts were not
awarded,
Instead, action was deferred until
the regular meeting of the council On
Monday night
Just why the mayors door should
have been locked during the session

who were in the meeting claim they
were entirely ignorant of the fact and
suggest that the sprinE-lock must
have caught accidentally when the
door was closed Others inhmated
that the commissioners desire speedy
and uninterrupted action on the bids
When the meeting had been called
to order, the mayor offered the fol-
lowing resolution: Resolved That
the recommendation OF the municipal
tuberculosis sanatorium committee

struction Of the proposed tuberculosis
sanatorium be awarded to ]. Eolk &

and heating be awarded TO Ward &
Mcmahon, and the contract for cleo
trio wiring he awarded to Leithner &
Weishar, he approved and that they
be instructed TO proceed with the con
'strucUon."
The bids had been opened by the
medical board yesterday afternoon and
the resolution of the mayor was IN
accordance with the action required
by the state law authorizing the
awarding Of the contracts to the low
est bidders
But the majority Of the commission
ers seem TO be inclined TO delay the
building Of the sanatorium on the
hill site Three commissioners were
net in favor Of taking immediate &C
ton. and when Commissioner Rudgre1
moved as a substitute FOR the mayors
