He stated that Phillippi Equipment, bidding on Wayne Models, does carry a complete parts stock, and recommended that bid be awarded to Phillippi at $10,180.00 for the Model 1-550 (4-Yd), stating that this bid is higher than that for the Elgin by about $285 but that with the Wayne a steel broom will be furnished, which will lessen the difference by about $150; that he believes the availability of parts and service to be a big advantage, and that this make has been satisfactory to both City of Minneapolis and Minnesota Highway Department. answered to the effect that this model is just not heavy enough for the type of work which must be done here. that the bid of Phillippi Equipment Go., for a Wayne Model No. 1-550, amount $10,180 .OO be accepted in viey of the Manager ' s recommendations iherefor . seconded by Beim and carried.

He stated that he has considered recommending that the well be pushed down to the Hinckley stratum but that this would take too long--that the well would not be in service until July; also, that there would have to be gpecial arrangements for the building for this different style pump. of the wells to be tied into an iron removal plant at the High School, the most expedient thing is probably to give the well a chemical treatment to burn off the scale and corrosion, at a total cost of $900 to $1100, that this treatment F70U1d be good for about two years. He stated he has informed the well driller that two years' service is not sufficient for the $5,000 work done two years ago, but that he is getting nowhere in attempting to effect an adjustment.
