seconded by Mr. Latham and carried.
The Council took a short recess and upon reconvening all were noted
present.
City Manager Hickok stated that the bids received were much higher than
he expected and believed that by preparing a new set of specifications, asking
for separate bids on the foundations and chimney, a better price could be ob-
tained. This and several other contemplated changes would mean a lower price
and he therefore recommended that the bids be rejected. Yr. Probst so moved,
seconded by Mr. Tilden and on roll call carried unanimously.
Mr. Probst moved that the City Manager and. City Engineer prepare a new
set of specifications, seconded by Mr. Latham and carried.
Mr. Tilden moved that the City Clerk be instructed to advertise for
new bids to be received the first meeting in February, in accordance with
the specifications to be prepared and submitt ed by the City Engineer, January
3rd, 1922, seconded by Mr. Latham and carried.
There being no further business to transact the council adjourned to meet
