the power contract comes under
this classification
At the last council meeting the
district submitted an offer TO sup
ply power TO the city at rate Of
l2 per kilowatt, the present con-
tract rate. Later at the same meet
ing a power company representative
indicated the company would be
prepared to repeat a rate offer Of
81 made early last fall
The question of bids did moi
come up when the present con-
tract was awarded because there
was no other company in the fielo,
Whitelaw explained.
rs there anything to prevent
the city from throwing out all bids
and going into the open market
as it has done in a number of
instances?" WhitelaW was asked.
We'll, that is complicated by the
fact that there would be only two
bidders" the city attorney parried
Harry Horton, chief counsel for
the district, however, maintained
that there would be nothing to
force the city to accept the lowest
bid
Without having looked into the
matter closely, would say the city
could accept any bid It wishes
high or low" he said

JANUARY DEMAND
FOR MONTANA CRUDE

Estimated daily crude oil demand
for Montana in January will be
15.4OO barrels as against 1920
barrels in December and an actual
demand of 1900 barrels in jan
uarv. 1899 according to the forecast
of the u S. Bureau of mines. The
average over the country estimated
at / per cent over December and z
per cent more than the actual de-
mand in January 1899. Present in
dications are that stocks of finished
and unfinished gasoline will ap-
proximate new peaks of 80 million
barrels on December 81 and 95 mill
lion barrels on March 81, 1910. A
probable increase of per cent in
total motor fuel demand and 20
gain in distillate fuel oil demand
for the first quarter is indicated.
