Honorable Mayor and Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen
With reference to the request OF
the Police ard Fire Commission for
authorization to purchase an cleo
trio water cooler not contemplated
in the present budget, and referred
to the writer, I beg to report as
follows:
Electric water coolers are now
available without priority and the
cost is approximately s225.O0. There
are ample funds in the 1945-46
Permanent Equipment budget for
such purchase and in my opinion
the Police Headquarters Building
should have this equipment.
Respectfully submitted,
Wilfred Kane,
Purchasing Agent
Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
With reference to bids for paint
ing American LaFrance pumper at
Fire Station No. 2. and referred to
the writer. beg to report as fol-
| lows:
Bids for this work were solicited
from six automobile painters. The
only one received was from the Oak
Street Super Service, for $4,000. In
asmuch as the Fire Department
budget contained only $4,000 for
this item the order could not be
placed.
AS to whether this is a fair price
for the job. one Of the other deal
ers informed me he figured the
work at $4,000, but for some rea-
son did not submit his bid. There
fore, in view of market conditions,
the figure of s34O does not appear
excessive but in my opinion We
would receive lower quotations six
or eight months from now.
Respectfully submitted.
Wilfred Kane.

Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
Short time ago our friend and
colleague, James Mason. passed
away, but before he died, Jimmy
left an idea with us that will live
on, that is, the building of swim
ming pool for the youth of this
city.
Councilman Mason recognized the
need to provide a place to swim for
the kids of this town, he knew that
the Detroit River. flowing past our
door, dirty, sewage filled, provided
only a temptation to these kids.
To honor a fine sportsman, an ex-
cellent civic leader, and the pro-
ponent Of the swimming pool pro-
ject, suggest to this Council that
the swimming pool to be constructed
by us be named in memory Of Coun-
Gilman James H. Mason.
Very truly yours,
Richard T. Kelly,
Councilman
