City Council Rejects Improvement Act Amendment
Improvement Act revise bypassed. An amendment to the 1911 Improvement Act aimed at saving time for the City Council would, if adopted here, create four hours of work for the city manager and city clerk. City Attorney Irving M. Smith said the measure does not fit with other act parts. Yesterday the Council chose not to use the amendment and to continue opening bids on 1911 Act jobs as before. Such bid openings take 10 to 20 minutes of the Council in open session. The amendment would let the city manager or his agent open bids as directed by the Council. Mayor Burton W. Chace noted the council did not intend to burden other agencies to save itself time.
