To the Honorable County Board of

Gentlemen:
We, your Committee, to whom was
delegated the duty of purchasing two
motorcycles for the use of the Sheriff IS
Office, respectfully report that we in
vestigated the following makes of
motorcycles, all of which have local
representatives: Henderson, Indian,
Harley Davidson, and decided to take
bids upon two machines of each make.
We did this and received bids as fol
lows: Henderson, $3.50 and $685. with
Jones Speedometer; Indian, $3.50; 2
Harley Davidson, $500, $3.50 and 5000.
After receiving these bids it was de-
cided to purchase two Indian machines
at the price of $6500O and an order
was given Mr.. Fritz Rudy for same to
be delivered in ten days or two weeks.
Upon the arrival Of the date the
| machines were not forthcoming and
neither were they for six weeks and
after consulting with Sheriff Stahl
it was determined that motor cops
were no longer needed this fall and it
was decided to countermand the order
until further notice and same was done
and the motorcycles have not as yet
been delivered.
Respectfully submitted,
