In checking, I find that the part would cost the same regardless of whether the city places the order or a local parts house, and the local parts house would assume the telephone cost in their profit, I'm told. It would appear profitable to the city and the local parts supplier to change our parts ordering process. Councilman Szymkowiak made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file.
