<br />Gentlemen:-- Your Sewerage 0ommittee respectfully reports

<br />herein concerning the following matters referred to the Joint Sewer,s Committee April iS-E1,
<br />

<br />
<br />Referred by Common 0ouncil April lath.
<br />
<br /> A petition of R. L. Albert and sundry other Master Plumbers and Journeymen Pi-ambers for
<br />the establishment of a Board of Examination for plumbers.
<br /> We h~ve looked into this matter and would recommend that it is inexpedient to take any
<br />action thereon at this time.
<br />
<br />Referred by two branches April lS-Elst.
<br />
<br />Authorized to ~dvertise for bids to repair the Sewer Power House.
<br /> We have so advertise~ amd h~ve received the following bids therefor:
<br />
<br />For Ma~king Water Connections:
<br />
<br />N. V. Pearson, $48.~5
<br />P. J. Riley, 49.85
<br />0scie D~shiell, 5~.00
<br />
<br />It is recommended that award be made to N. V. Pearson for such work.
<br />
<br />For Repairing Roof:
<br />
<br />T. W. Thomas Roofing Co., $6~.00
<br />E. H. 0denh~ll & Son, ?0.00
<br />
<br /> The bid of E. H. 0denhall & ~on is somewhmt higher than the bid of the T. W. Thomas
<br />Roofing Co., but as E. H. 0~d~n~l & Son gu~rmutees to keep the roof in good order for eight
<br />yemrs ~as seen by bid), it is r~commemded that award for .the work be made to that firm.
<br />
<br />(Signed) T.F. White,
<br /> Chairman C. C.
<br />
<br /> The report of the Committee having been rea~, Mr. Reynolds moved that the recommendation
<br />of the Committee with reg&rd to the establishment of m Beaird of Examination for Plumbers be re-
<br />ferred back to the Committee for further consideration.
<br /> The matter was discussed ~ud the motion was lost on a division.
<br /> Mr. Hawks wished to know why award for repmiring roofs of the Sewer Power House was .recom-
<br />mended to E. H. 0denh~ll & Son, said firm being a higher bidder tha~ the T. W, Thomas Roofing
<br />Co. for the same work.
<br /> The Chairman of the Sewerage Committee explained that, though E, H. 0denhmll & Schwas the
<br />higher bidder, yet said firm guaranteed the .roofs for eight yemrs and the Committee thought it
<br />advisable to accept its bid with this guarantee.
<br /> The question w~ then asked if the bidders we~e~sked to give a guarantee, The reply was
<br />no, that E. H. 0denhall & Son had voluntarily offered the guarantee.
<br /> Mr. Hs~wks then moved to make award to the T. W. Thomas Roofing 0o., provided it will give
<br />the guarantee given by E. H. 0denh~ll & ~on. The motion was adopted.
