GO JOY RIDING
City Commissioners Spend Aft
ernOOn Going Up and Down.
Are Giving All Elevators in
Town a TryOut.

If the agitation for an elevator for
the city hall results in nothing more
1t has at least been instrumental in
uncovering the latest innovation in in
door sports-elevator joyriding. The
development of the newest sport pop
ped up in the course of regular bust
ness this morning in a meeting of the
city commissioners.
The awarding of contract for the
installation of the elevator was I'D for
consideration. Two bids for ma
chimes had been filed.
"A bid from the Montgomery EIe-
svator Service Co., of Kansas City, Mo,
offering to install a machine for
81. SGGG," announced Miss Eta Coven.
city clerk
The commission ordered that the
bid be filed.
Another bid from the Otis Elevator
company offering a machine for
$3.50" Miss Covell announced.
This bid also was filed
Now then here is a lot of literature
describing all the beautiful features of
each machine" the clerk declared
w hat are you going to do with it ?"
There was a problem. Commission
er Tandy, acting president of the COM
mission. looked toward Porter, who
made the original motion to ask for
bids. Porter turned to City Attorney
Hayden for solution. And HAYDEN
checked the problem back to the com
SionerS.
Porter Sees a Light.
It's out of my line Hayden de-
clared.
So the commissioners continued to
look at one another, trusting that some
one could lead them out of the predic-
ament.
Certainly the fate of the elevator
that has been the source of grief to
every commission in ten years could
not be decided by reading half a dozen
sheets of advertising matter
Then Porter saw the light
Both of these companies have in
stalled machines in local buildings. I
believer" he asked
1T says so in their letters" Miss
Covell agreed.
Inspection of the letters showed that
one company placed machines in sew
eral office buildings while the second
had impressed the state with the eff
cheney of its elevators to the extent
that several of them had been pIaced
in public buildings.
well. then" declared Porter. al
move you, MT President, that we take
a recess until this afternoon In the
meantime. l suggest that the cor1rnis:-
Sicner5 go to the various buildings
where there are machines installed nv
these companies and see for ourselves
whether or not they are the kind we
would want in the city hail.,
The suggestion met with instant and
unanimous approval. and the commits
SlonerS hurried out to joyride on AZ
many elevators as possible before thew
finally disposed of the contract .hIs
