Water pipe contract awarded by city council
The city council awarded a water pipe project to Gifford-Hill American of Dallas for 223000 plus. Two road improvements were funded by the Gotan bond issue sold to a New York syndicate with revenues to be available next week. Blue Pennant Tire Co. won a contract for truck tires and tubes at 19754.90. Street work covers West Sixth Street and Colorado Street through Lavaca. Mayor Miller's suggestion delayed a decision on buying extra right of way at East Avenue and Airport Boulevard for a grade separation.
