YOLUME XXX The opening of bids for the new fire station and incinerator was reâ€" sponsible for the unusually large atâ€" tendance at Monday evening‘s counâ€" cil meeting. The turnout at this week‘s session proves that the citiâ€" zens of the community will attend the council‘s meetings if there is something of interest on tap, Bids for the new fire station were submitted by Joseph Cabonargi of Highland Park and E. L, Archibald and William Mavor & Co. of Chiâ€" cago. The base price on Mr. Cabonâ€" argi‘s bid was $30,968. E. L. Archâ€" ibald‘s bid was $32,250 and William Bids for the plumbing and heatâ€" ing contracts on the project were submitted by T. H. Decker, Howard Moran, Murphy & Schwall, and C. P. Sullivan & Co. Figures on these bids revealed additional expendiâ€" tures for this part of the work from The fire station bids show totals for the project ranging from $33,000 to $37,000. As the amount of money available for this work is only in the neighborhood of $25,000 it appears more than likely that some revisions in the original plans will have to be made if the council wants to keep within this figure. The concensus among some of the interested parties including one of the bidders was that a revision of the plans would be made to substantially reduce its final cost. However, no definite acâ€" tion will be taken until the city enâ€" gineer and the council have an opâ€" portunity to thorouzhly examine the bids submitted at Monday evenin: meeting. Mavor & Co.‘s was $29,618. $3,800 to $5,000. Fred A. Ellis & Co. submitted a bid of $1,974 for plumbing work only. American Legion Organizes To Combat Subversive Activities Bids for the incinerator also reâ€" vealed figures somewhat higher than anticipated. On this project, Nye Oderless Incinerator Co. of Macon, Georgia submitted a bid of $51,000 for a structure with a gable roof with an added cost of $850 if a flat roof was used. These figures were bared s.. constzucticu costs at thr city garage site. If the structure was built on its present site an additional $6,500 would have to be paid. In making this announcement, Commander Leslic McCaffery states that the recent demonstration by a uniformed group of the Bund just west of Highland Park; the activiâ€" ties of certain Pacist organizations and the extent of known communisâ€" tic endeavors in our community are ample evidence of the need under prescnt conditions for organized means of securing all information. _'_h“lqrwmh-l&lb He further adds that the details of the plan have been worked out The first unit in the American Legion plan to expose and combat certain established subversive and antiâ€"American activities being conâ€" ducted by individuals and groups in and around Highland Park, will be to secure the cooperation of all eitiâ€" zens in establishing a central point for receiving reports, transmitting information and cooperating with the local and federal authorities. Pittsburgh & DeMoines Steel Co. of Pittsburgh submitted a base bid of $41,000 with several additional items which brought the total up to $44,620. This figure did not inâ€" clude an added cost of $8,250 for building the structure on its presâ€" ent site. The third bid opened and read at the meeting was submitttd by Nicholls Engineering & Research Co. of New York. This company submitted bids on two types of buildings. One called for an exâ€" penditure of $52,500 for construcâ€" tion on the city garage‘s property and $61,400 for construction on the present incinerator‘s site. Figures on the other type amounted to $54,â€" 550 with an additional cost of $10,â€" 00 if the present site were selected. After the reading of the bids was concluded a resident of the city garâ€" age neighborhood asked the mayor for a chance to discuss the advanâ€" tages and disadvantages of both sites before a final decision were made.
