Herman 1 DeWltt, second Ward alderman, presided over the meet- after his election es mayor Dro-tem, in the absence of Mayor Lavier D. Humphrey who is oh vacation.

Stevens asked the council for Approval water department, expenditures of $10,000 for replacing sld pipe In the water system, and $2200 for -urchase of three transformers for supplying power to the water department pumping station. The subject of purchasing transformers brought on the discussion of the newpower contract, calling for reduction of rates for use of power by municipal agencies. Should the contract 1 accepted by the council, said, transformers for the pumping station would be provided by the company, In addition to enabling the water department to make substantial savings on power usage. The engineer said that transformers are being rented at present, but will be unavailable after Sept. 1, and with a six months' delivery the best expected on any city order for the equipment, all the department can do after Sept.

1 is Action on purchase of transformers was started, but Alderman Gordon Mallory questioned the legality of purchase without calling for sealed.bids, and the discussion of the power contract reached its peak. Mallory said, "I'd like to see some tangible form of the offer, something 1 can read and evaluate. If the new contract is as good as the committees believe it to be, I'm in favor of accepting it, but I won't vote for it until I can see it." Alderman Gene Kasten pointed out that the light company had told the committee on lighting that e. 20-year contract meant 20 percent savings, and a 50-year agree- men.t meant 50 percent savings. The council instructed, the city clerk, Emmett Howard, to contact a representative of the power company to present the contract to the council at its next meeting.

Stevens explained that purchase of pipe was necessary to replace west end mains that are leaking. Pipes were laid in ground filled with cinders and the cinders have eaten through. Besides providing water for west end residents, the faulty pipes provide fire protection for the Standard Oil loading docks; Stevens said he would use larger pipe in the section beneath the railroad tracks on the west side of town, since any factory which might possibly be constructed by International Harvester Co. would use that portion of the system. The engineer also said that "in a short time Wood River's department may be supplying water to the Village of Hartford." The city already has offered a contract to Standard Oil Co.

for supply of water for sanitary purposes. The council voted to call for bids on the pipe. Alderman Ragus reported that the City Park bandstand had been painted, two coats, at a cost rf $167. When asked to waive penalties on two lots within the city, the plea was allowed on a vacant lot on Tenth street, but refused on tVie corner lot at Whitelaw and Lorena, where Savmor Market is now located. Alderman Kasten questioned the advisability, of waiving penalties on Improved property, and City Treasurer Scribner said the penalties amount to $1300.

The council adopted a resolution giving the city $1049 in state funds Shipman Scouts Co to Camp for the sewer project, and 6 an increase in its bid from $100 to $135 for OCD equipment in possession of the city.
