copy of the letter which City Clerk Dodge read. Councilman Armstrong moved that the City Manager be instructed to follow through with this matter and make a report in thirty days as to the progress. The mo- tion was seconded by Councilman McNulty and passed unanimously. Results of the sidewalk improvement work were announced with R. G. Clifford being the low bidder on Unit 12 Resolution of Intention 1945-1; and 11. Weber being the low bidder on Units 2, 3, and 4. Resolutions of Intention No. 1945-2, 3 and 4. City Attorney McCarthy advised that he had examined the bidder's bond of Mr. Weber and that it met all legal requirements and that Mr. Clifford's certified check of $3000 was more than ample. Mr. Sorensen asked to see the two low bids. He said that he had bid "across the board".on the four jobs and had put in a bid bond to cover all four. City Attorney McCarthy advised that the Council was at liberty to accept bids on each of .the jobs as a separate project: Mx. Sorensen questioned the legality of Mr. Weber's bond which Mr. McCarthy stated met all legal requirements. Mr. Sorenson objected to the bid being awarded to Mr. Weber. Councilman Armstrong moved, seconded by Councilman Anderson, that affidavits of public notice of accepting bids be filed. Motion passed unanimously.
