<br />The Engineer reported relative to W. 230th, W. 232nd and Mildred Avenue,
<br />that he had met with Carney and facts presented, affidavits showing the
<br />job was completed according to specifications, and it was recommended by
<br />the Solicitor the City settle for $750.00 plus the bond of $1,000.00 for
<br />sidewalks, in order to straighten out the difficulties existing in this
<br />subdivision instead of foreclosing on the bond. This was referred to
<br />Committee for study before release of bond.
<br />The Engineer reported relative to Barnow's Subdivision, that on the pre-
<br />liminary inspection, there were nineteen defects. The developer has
<br />corrected all but one, which according to specification8 is an inferior
<br />type of catch basin, and if corrected, recommended dedication of the
<br />subdivision. Mr. Barnow stated that all was done according to plans and
<br />specifications of the Engineer and in his opinion to change the catch

<br />for both, plus one month's rental, plus .02¢ per mile over 42,000 miles;
<br />thus, bringing the total cost to $1,619.75 each. The approximate price
<br />for a 1959 car would be $2,000.00 each. He would appreciate Council's
<br />immediate action because of the time limit, or the Police Department will
<br />necessarily revert to one new car and one old car if action is not taken
<br />immediately.
<br />Committee is to determine if the City is in a position to purchase the
<br />present cars, and advertise for bids at the same time for two four-door
<br />sedans.
