were no others. Vice Mayor Hughes then directed a question to the
City Attorney and asked if it was in order for the City to award
the bid where there was only one bidder present. The Attorney ad-

surance was going to expire midnight, February 1, 1967, and that
other firms had received specifications and call for bids, that he
certainly felt that it was in order to acknowledge this one bid and
award accordingly. Vice Mayor Hughes then proceeded to read the
bid according to the specifications.
