proper functioning of the well.
Mayor Wilson stated that the
city is interested—first, in the
money involved. The responsibil
ity should be placed where it be
longs and the money recovered,
he stated.
Mathews stated that any action
taken by the Government against
the contractor would depend on
the date he will send in his report
The "eport will consist of a com
piliation of reports made by the
contractor making the well re
pairs, the city water department
personnel’s report, and on what
Mathews himself saw at the time
the well repair work was done.
If action is taken against the con
tractor, Mathews reported, an
opinion has ben given that money
will not be involved.
Following a suggestion by the
Mavor, the subject was tabled for
further study by the Council.

The police committee chairman
proposed that council members
be considering the feasibility of
•the city purchasing a police ve
hicle. We are spending between
$2,400 and $3,000 a year for car
use at the present time, he stated.
I believe he added, that we could
turn in our old telephone truck
and purchase a suitable vehicle
for the same amount we are now
spending for someone else’s ve

the proposition.

coal in the fireball building in
stead of oil. Long requested the
city reconsider in view of the fact
that coal BTU basis is about one
half the price of oil and that also
coal has played an important part
in the local economy. There have
been a number of lay-offs at trie
mine, he pointed out, due to a
lack of markets. We wish to pro
mote the sale of coal as much
possible, he said. Councilmem
bers told the visitors that a year
ago when the heating system was
first considered, it would have
meant adding another employee
to take care of the furnace and
ashes. Another deciding factor
was the lower cost of installing
oil instead of a stoker, and other
reasons more minor. At that time
the quality of produced coal was
not the best. The miners reported
that this year the qualtiy of coa.
produced is far superior. Mayor
Wilson requested A1 Hagen and
Robert Peterson work as a com
mittee to investigate the feasibL
itv of such a change-over, consid
ering the fact that the contract
has been awiarded to install an
oil heating unit.

In making a report on the plan
ning commission it was announc

of Palmer had no claim on the

rightfully belonged to Mr. Felton.
The fire committee chairman
reported that the City Fire Chief
is no longer in the city and that
he expected to be gone for some
time and suggested a temporary
appointment until such time as, a
permanent man be appointed to
dhat position. Former Fire Chief
Joseph Gallant was requested to
serve in that capacity.

Both appointments were approv
