The Fire Chief stated that this would be ample for the fire equipment as long as there wasn't any parking on the street. Councilman Weiss read the following prepared statement. It is not my intention to interpose arW objection to the mode of settlement that is ....+ being proposed$ -since it appears to be the recommendation of the committees and since I am cognizant that said recommendation is thezesult of a somewhat confused$ reluctant and abject surrender in disgust of the people involved. The property in question must be developed$ we have had ample delays in arriving at this solutions, it is therefor not my purpose to thwart the will of the majority, but I mast in conscience express may views on the matter. The proposed solution will create certain nonconforning usage of certain properties, the worst of it is that it may also well set a precedent for certain other properties to be developed in that area in the near future; and for all purposes and intents I an doubtful that the good planning for the future welfare of the community or the people on either side of the proposed opening into Virginai would permit such a development. Because of said reasons, and others that I could readily offer.. I shall be constrained to vote NO on the question* there being no further protests or comments, the motion carried on roll call with Councilman Weiss voting NO* REPORT ON BIDS FCH AIR COMPRESSOR, STREET DEPARTMENT. The Clerk mead the following letter submitted by the City Engineer: - re: Bids — Air Compressor — Street Department 0 Bids received on September 2$s 1956$ for a portables six sylinders gasoline "moo operated, 125 CFM, rotary type air compressor for the Street Maintenance Department, are summarized as follows: Edgard R. Bacon, Company Jaeger, Model 125 $4sO56.14 It is our recommendation that the bid of Edward R. Bacon Company be accepted,. This equipment was specified to be equipment with a 6 cylinder engines based upon our experience with both 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder equipment of this types the last two compressors purchased by the city within the last year being 6 cylinder. The city departments now using air compressor ,equipment are convinced that the 6 cylinder engine is the most satisfactory for the f olowing reasons: 1. Quicker recovery of both volume and pressure under heavy loads. 2. Slower speed under normal and maximum loads. 3e Quieter and smoother operation at all timess which is particularly important where equipment is being used in residential and commercial areas to avoid disturbance. 4. Less wear and maintenance due to slow motor. operation. 5e Lower horsepower necessary. 6. Quieter operation during warm up periods, particulary when being used in residential neighborhoods. We have checked with certain private contractors who also recommend the use of 6 cylinder equipment wherever possible for the same reasons listed above. Glenn M. Jain The City Manager stated that while he had hoped to receive more than one bid from the legal advertisements it was apparent from the detailed statement submitted by the city Engineers that it would be advantageous to the City to purchase this equipments for which funds are provided in the budget. Since the City Engineer also advised that this equipment is badly needed, the City Manager concurred in his recommendation. Councilman Spillers moved approval of the recommendations 0
