LET PUMP CONTRACT
Kansas City, Kan, Firm VIII Make
Water Plant improvements.

The contract for the installation of
the two new pumps for the city water
department was let Thursday after
noon at a special meeting of the COM
rcissioners. The Merkle Machinery
company OF Kansas City, Kan, re-
ceived the award with a bid of $4,000.
The bid received from the Merkle
company was 1.27 per cent less eff
cient than the figure stated in the
specifications.
Commissioner Newland, not being
an engineer, was slightly hesitant in
recommending the acceptance of the
bid, referring it to Jesse Shaw, who
promptly returned the responsibility.
The buck was then passed to the COM
missioners. whereupon Mayor House
announced that the responsibility for
the water department must be placed
in the water department. Newland
Immediately recommended the accep-
lance of the bid.
The work of installing these pumps
will commence at once.
