ell will again advertise for bids fora
machine Of this kind. r. F. Brown,
who represented the Austin Western
Grader company, protested against tne
purchase Of machine on competitive
bids, as he said it was not a fair deal
to him, because he had already made
the city an offer and stated his sprlce.
Two other grader representatives were
present and told of the merits Of their.
machines. Street Commissioner La-
Fond stated that he had examined the
grader offered for sale by Mr.. Brown
and had found that:it was not sulta-
BILE for grading streets, in the city and
that the blade was patched on each
end to make it measure - feet. He
stated that a: auick-lift grader would.
be the sproperskind for the city to pl1r-
chase, as the time lost in raising the
cutting blade, at crossings, is too
great: ; . 5. . Il. .4.s@ - -
