CITY COUNCIL SANCTIONS PROPOSED REDUCTIONS IN SCHOOL EQUIPMENT
Consuming just an hour of time, Mayor Kilburn and the Douglas City Council ran the gamut of routine business last night at the next to the last meeting scheduled before election.
Chief interest of the session was concerned with a communication from the Peterman Construction Company, outlining 11 changes in as many items in their school contract from specifications with total reduction in cost of $315.28 and requesting a change order to cover.
Principal change concerned choice of a smaller electric range at about $100 low cost.
There was a little discussion about one of the fire hydrants on St. Ann's Avenue which is still out of order, according to Chairman Balog of the fire and water committee. Streets were reported in poor shape by Councilman Nunamaker. Both cases will be remedied as soon as possible.
To the Finance Committee, headed by Tom Cashen, was voted the job of auditing the city's books when the April business is all entered therein.
