over to the City Manager for further processing and suggest
that he come up with a common plan and specifications for bidding.

independent engineer to write specifications for this air con-
ditioning it was decided to use the Gas company's specifications
for bidding criteria. Upon vote the motion carried.

Korner, attorney for R. L. Grover, owner of Lot 23, Block 15,

adjoining Mr. Grover's home at 185 N. E. 100th Street. Action
on this request was tabled at the last meeting. It was Mr.

Council is not interested in condemning the property for public
use. After some discussion Mayor Nicholson moved that
