Alexis.Thielans of the Municipal Supply Company was present and proposed that
the City buy a street flusher instead of a street sweeper. After a discussion,
Mr. Anderson pointed out the fact that a flusher would be impractical, due to
present construction of the City*s sewers, but that the matter would be further
considered and decision made later.
Bids were received -on the new street sweeper, as advertised. It was found
that the Austin -Western Road Machinery Company did not bid and the bid of the Elgin
Sweeper Company was the only one received. The price of new sweeper to be $6,790.00-,
• payable in four equal annual payments with interest at six percent on deferred
payments. This contract was executed by the Board, subject to the approval of -the
Common Council.
