Alton Evening Telegraph from Alton, Illinois • Page 16

TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1967 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAGE B-5 Wiseman Answers Hoefert: Had Overall Low' Alton Mayor Clyde Wiseman officially answered local Dodge Dealer Harold Hoefert today: after Hoefert had announced that he felt it a waste of time to submit bids to the city on ve. hicle prices. On June 13 Hoefert had returned the city's bid request with a statement that Alton no longer respects the low bid on comparable equipment so, "We feel it is a waste of our time to submit proposals." In the city's February call for bids on six trucks, Hoefert submitted the low bid ($118 lower) on one of the vehicles, but the Alton city council voted to give the entire contract for all six trucks to Chevrolet. Wiseman in his most recent explanation to Hoefert said "Total bids received from Chevrolet amounted to 731.48, while the total from Hoefert Dodge was $17,116.81. Wiseman said that the city recognized that, on one of the vehicles, Hoefert was $118.30 less than Chevrolet.

But, "It was the opinion of Public Works Director Gerald Bacus, City Controller Harry Ramey, and apparently the aldermanic committee that the total low bid of Chevrolet be accepted thereby giving the city standardization of truck equipment purchased during the current model year." Wiseman added that this makes it possible for the city garage to stock parts for all trucks during a single model year, and assists mechanics and operating personnel to be familiar with equipment. The Mayor added that, during his two years in office, Hoefert's was the first objection on bidding practice to be directed to him. During this period, the city has received bids on the largest number of public works "hundreds projects, in its history and thousands of dollars in equipment and services have been contracted through bids," the Mayor commented. Council Defends Computer Purchase At Wood River Wood River councilmen firm Monday night against the mayor's protest of the purchase of a new IBM computer for the city. The computer will have a greater capacity than the present computer used by the city.

The entire council, with the exception of the mayor, voted for the purchase of a 1130 IBM computer which will cost $51,730 plus maintenance costs. At a previous council meeting this month, Mayor Lucien Ringering contested the purchase of the computer without bids. Monday night, City Manager Virgil Barnett said he received quotations from other companies of $100,000 or more for other machines. He told the Telegraph today that these quotations did not represent a bid for the same type of machine. He said the other companies did not make a machine with the same production capacity or intermediate capacity that the IBM machine offered.

The city's present computer is used by Wood River for all its billings, salary payments, financial statements and the like. Mayor Ringering protested that the machine's purchase was not necessary especially since other city budgets, such as police, fire and recreation, were pared down this year. The mayor said the new computer's purchase would tie up present municipal funds, Ringering also does not feel the city needs a computer with an increaesd capacity. Wood River was the first municipality in the United States to employ the present 6400 computer. The city will be one of the first in the United States to ploy the present 1130.

The city manager had recommended the purchase of the present computer which the city leases for $834 per month at a cost of $23,400. City councilmen noted in voting for the purchase that the city paid $40,000 in lease funds over a four-year period for the old machine. Councilmen also authorized payment to Wegman Electric of $2,277 as second payment and $3,593.70 as second payment to Kane Plumbing and Heating for work completed to date on the Roundhouse project. The council tabled a request from Attorney Marshall Smith, representing City Taxi-Cab manBert Major, to discuss amending the city code to permit an increase in taxi fares and allow individuals convicted of a felony to operate cabs in the city. The council also returned annexation petitions for Lincoln Addition as being insufficient.

Councilmen authorized the purchase of an administrative car from Albrecht Chevrolet for the low bid of $1,582.70 and a one-ton truck for the Public Works Department from Hutton Ford for a low bid of $2,747.81. A resolution was adopted authorizing the investment of $257,000 of city funds not needed for immediate use. County Police Bill Now Up to Kerner SPRINGFIELD, -The bill to authorize a county police department within a sheriff's office, if the idea is approved voters in unincorporated areas, passed the Senate this morning by a vote of 35 to 4. The bill would create a trained police force for unincorporated areas separate from present sheriff's offices. It now goes to Gov.

Otto Kerner for his signature. It will become effective July 1 or on the day the governor signs the bill, if that occurs after July 1. Introduced by House Speaker Ralph T. Smith of Alton on Jan. 17, the bill passed the House June 6.

It was sponsored in the Senate by Sen Paul Simon of Troy. The bill would authorize sheriffs to set up and maintain a county police department, consisting of deputy sheriffs whose duties would be solely to provide police protection for the Senior Citizens Trip Canceled The Wood River senior citizen trip by chartered bus to Hannibal, scheduled this Thursday, has been canceled.

H. G. Mueller is in charge of reservations. Debate on Dodd Could Last a Week By JOHN CHADWICK WASHINGTON (AP) Senate debate on proposed censure Sen. Thomas J.

Dodd is snagged in a procedural wrangle that Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield says "could last all week." Chances for an early vote on the censure resolution dimmed Monday AS Sen. Russell B. Long, self-appointed defender Dodd, renewed his demand for vote first on the charge that the Connecticut Democrat knowing. ly double-billed the Senate a and private groups for travel expenses. The Senate ethics committee, which recommended Dodd's censure for what it called financial misconduct, remains insistent that the Senate vote first on the separate charge that Dodd converted at least $116,083 in political funds to his personal use.

No Fillbuster Long, said he has no intention of filibustering. But neither did he indicate readiness to yield the floor until his colleagues agree to vote first the double-billing count. Long said he expects the Senate to reject the double-billing charge and contended it was unfair to leave it hanging over Dodd while the other charge debated. Mansfield met Monday with Dodd, Long, Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen and Chairman John Stennis, the ethics committee to try break the impasse.

"We got together but we didn't get anywhere," Mansfield later told reporters. But he said efforts would continue. Change Rejected Long needs the Senate's unanem-limous consent to reverse order of vote on the charges by the committee. When he asked for it last week, members of the ethics panel ed. Mansfield said he would willing to vote on the doublebilling charge first if an agreement could be obtained to follow this, after three or four hours of additional debate, with a vote on the other charge as it now stands.

Long maintained that if the double-billing charge were rebe allowed for additional debate jected, a couple of days on the charge Dodd used campaign ceeds contributions and the proof political testimonials for personal expenses. Long indicated he plans to offer softening amendments, and probably a substitute, to this count. 800 Detroit Police Off Duty Today DETROIT (AP) Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh flew home from Honolulu today to deal with Detroit's police emergency, still adamant in his stand against an officers' pay raise demand. The mayor, who cut short his attendance at the U.S.

Conference of Mayors, arrived to find the force of more than 4,000 men depleted by sick call-ins and disciplinary suspensions. As Cavanagh returned, city officials were preparing to into court Wednesday to demander a permanent injunction against a strike. A temporary restrainting order was issued last week. In an airport interview Cavanagh expressed displeasure with the policemen's union. Cavanagh indicated he was not prepared to say whether the Michigan National Guard would be asked to fill the gap in police ranks.

Al Leggat, city director of labor relations, said he had been assured that some 400 Michigan National could be called to duty on four hours notice if they are needed to help out. State Police Aid Aid also has been offered by the Michigan State Police, Leggat said. The dispute centers around demand by the Detroit Police Officers Association DPOA that patrolmen's top salaries he raised from the present $8,335 annually to $10.000. City officials insist there is no money availafor such a raise. The ranks of patrolmen were depleted by about 200 suspended for neglect of duty and several hundred others who called as well as nearly 100 on the disabled list or on emergency leave with departmental approval.

'The "sick call" epidemic began last Thursday after several; traffic bureau officers who legedly had participated in ticket writing slowdown were lassigned to pounding a beat.

If the President signs the measure into law-and he requested it-students seeking a deferment to complete their undergraduate studies no longer would be at the mercy of local draft boards, nor would they be required to stay in the upper half of their classes.
