In regard to the Heavy Duty Trucks, City Manager Rolison recommended that a contract be awarded to the Weltner Motor Company for two G.M.C., 161 inch wheel- base trucks for the sum of $5392.32 which was provided for in the current 1945-49 budget. This was the second lowest bid covering 1-1/2 ton trucks but the lowest for trucks with the longest wheelbase. Under discussion it was revealed that the longer wheelbase was more adaptable for,the City's needs and could be used for more purposes, however, the wheelbase was not called -for in the bids as everything was not available and it was thought certain specifications might rule out some bidders.
