Council Rel ects
Bids For Repairs
On City Library

The bids submitted for the interior
repairing of the city public library
were rejected last night at a special
meeting of the city council and new
bids will be sought Immediately, ac-
oording to John Neale, city clerk.
Only two bids were submitted, one
for $490 and the other for 5000. The
councilmen decided that both were
too high and accordingly returned
the 10 per cent checks attached to
the bids.
The council finally passed the
resolution that definitely severed
the city library from the county
library system. The councilmen de-
cided that the $1,000 paid annually
to the county system for the loan of
books could be saved partially now
that the city library has outgrown
the use of county books.
Walter Mcdonald, the new milk
inspector, made report of his work
showing the council number of
specimens of bacteria found in the
milk produced in this district. He
explained his work among the dairies
etc, which was approved by the
city council.
The council also approved and or
dered filed the report of City Clerk
John Neale on his trip to Los An
geles to take the short course on
public administration at the Uni
versity of Southern California.
Neale stated at the meeting that
the classes lasted eight hours a day
and sometimes longer and that any
public official attending the course
could not help but be benefited.

expected to result.
