(Staff Photo) Mayor, Council Take Seats By CAMELIA FOSTER The Bosque Theatre in the new addition of the Waco Convention Center proved to be an ideal setting for the installation of a new mayor for the City of Waco and the installation of new council members. Over 100 people were present, if the ceremony had taken place in the former council chambers at city hall there would not have been enough room for all of those attending.

The accoustics were excellent, everyone heard everything. Each of the outgoing council members were presented a silver tray. New Mayor, R.D. Pattillo made the presentations. Pattillo said Mayor David Sibley had served the city well, except for his last press conference, where he dressed up like Ram bo and was wearing guns.

Sibley said during the press conference he was going to appoint himself dictator of the city. As the laughter died down, Sibley passed out to the media his farewell speech. Elected in 1987, by fellow council members, Sibley, set his targets on fighting crime, working for a one-half sales tax increase for repair of streets and economic development. Larsen who has served on the concil for one term, said, believe I gave it a good Pinckney went to the Bible for his inspiration, and spoke to his opponent Lester Gibson, who won the District I quoted scriptures and wished Gibson his best.

Mrs. Gibson defeated Emma Harrison for the District I race and Cavil ran unopposed for his seat.

New officers for the board will be elected May 19. The board, prior to the new members taking their seats, also voted on a bid for construction of the 42 classroom structure, which had been controversial, because of statements being made against one of the bidding firms. Tom Kelly, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services in WISD, told the board, original recommendation was not to take the low bid of Hable Co. of Corsicana, but you (the board) have received additional information from Habel. You have heard comments from sub-contractors and other people against Habel, but none of them would come forth, so I recommend the Habel Co.

Cavil voted against the motion and Board member Rick Bostwick abstained saying his firm had represented the Habel Co. in the past and he did not want the question of conflict of interest raised. Following a meeting on May 4, the board had recommended the bid be placed with K.A. Sparks Contractor Inc. of Hamilton.

Habel Co. protested their recommendation on the basis they were the low bidder. Habel is currently constructing the McLennan County Records Building and built the McLennan County Minimum Security facility on SH 6. Total bid for the project is $3,918,800. The elementary school will be located on property located at Gurley Lane and 21st St.

The McLane Carillon is set to arrive July 15, said Danny Boone, Baylor's piano technician who is in charge of the project.

The carillon is named after Temple businessman Drayton McLane, president and chief executive officer of the McLane Company and a 1958 graduate who donated $325,000 to replace the original chimes which first rang in 1939. Baylor officials decided to replace the original chimes, which have been silent for more than two years, because of several mechanical problems. The old chimes may be used in a decorative or functional manner when a new building is eventually constructed for the School of Music, Boone said. Once the set of 48 bronze bells arrives, Boone said he expects it will take another four to six weeks to install and regulate it. Two representatives from the French manufacturer will help get the carillon in place.

The bells will range in diameter from eight inches to about five feet. The carillon will have a greater range of sound than the original chimes and will be capable of playing more complicated music, Boone said. beUs will be somewhat louder than the chimes he said. will sound a little ferent and may take some getting used to.
