He suggests the city council could save $500 by refurbishing the old clock rather than buying a new one. The proposed clock would have eight hands three times longer, four illuminated glass dials, a self regulating pendulum, self oiling jeweled escapement, and self oiling ball bearing journals, all for $300 with a five year guarantee.
