case, together with copy of the judgment recordings showing the
entry of judgment for $5000 and that it has been paid and satisfied.

This is the last of the underpass lawsuits and you may now

more than satisfactory.
The words "with prejudice" in the Miller cases means that it
is with prejudice to their bringing any other action.
I would appreciate it if you will see that my claim is filed
and that in due course of time I receive a warrant.

Remarks were made by several participating students commend-
ing the different department heads and council for their time and
effort, and commenting on the education that they felt they had
received. Remarks were made by several councilmen and the mayor,
Msgr. Keating and Mr. Werner, teacher in the high school, comment-
ing on the good they felt was evident and thanking the council for
their efforts. Also Msgr. Keating stated that he felt that the
Student Day and the council meeting on the same day made too long
a day for the students, that he felt that having school one day
and council meeting some other time would be better for the students
and all others participating.
Mayor Martin then thanked the various students for the
evident interest they had shown and all those cooperating to make
Student Government Day a success and bid them all a fond good-night.
Motion of Toft, council adjourned.

A group from Stolley Park Addition with Walter
Lauritsen as spokesman, presented arguments against the city
locating more wells in that area. Mr. Les Stewart, Mr. H. Rinder,
Dr. L. A. Cates, mentioned different ideas as to the reasons
for lowering of the water level. Mr. Frank Phelps of the city
presented arguments refuting the arguments as set forth by the
protestors showing that the number of wells that the city has
is less than one per cent of the wells in Hall County, and that
it was apparent that the lowering of the water level was due
to the number of wells used for irrigation. Considerable argu-
ment was presented by each side with no definite conclusion
except that the city would go ahead with the wells as outlined.
Mr. Claussen and the West Land Building Company
made request for the construction of eight residences on six
lots in Block 11, Claussen Country View Addition. Motion of
Toft, seconded by Hehnke, request was granted providing that
all other matters pertaining to the building code were met.
Lawrence Eaton, Commander of the American Legion,
made request for permission to use grounds on the Baseball Park
area for carnival purposes June 13 to 18. (Charles K. Lewis,
Fullerton, Nebr.) After considerable discussion, motion of
Winkhoff, seconded by Cunningham, request would be granted as
per arrangements to be made with the city manager.
Motion of Cunningham, seconded by 1:Jinkhoff, that f...
Mr. Frank Phelps be highly commended for the presentation as
given pertaining to wells and well sites.
Mr. Frank Greene made request from the council for
permission to wire the third apartment w.ith Romax instead of
Conduit, stating that in the construction of duplexes he knew
nothing as to the building code on the use of Romax. After
considerable discussion, questions and answers, motion of Toft,
seconded by Cunningham, that the wiring be governed by the
Building Code. Roll call ballot. Voting yes, Toft, Hehnke,
Martin. Voting no, Cunningham, Winkhoff.
Mr. Claussen made request that the stub streets

5. On June 6, 1955, an additional recommendation
was made as follows:
IlThe meeting was called to study the matter of invest-
ments and transfers from the Light, Water and Ice Funds accord-
.
I
ing to m record in the Utilities Commissioner's office as of
May 12, 1955. Mr. Burdick had resolutions covering all of the
transactions and after a great deal of discussion, a motion
was made by Mr. Stephens, seconded by Mr. Contryman, that the
Council pass a: resolution repealing all resolutions, ordinances
and Council actions pertaining to the transfer of money and
loans from the Utilities Department to the City of Grand Island
according to the record that was read at the meeting of the
Finance Advisory Board on the above-mentioned date, said record
being dated May 12, 1955, except the item showing a resolution
dated November 18, 1953, in the amount of $9,000 (said money
was taken from the Ice Fund and transferred to the Parking
Lot Fund for the purchase of parking meters), and that all
I
tangible properties are to be put in a capital account so that
a record can be kept of all properties over which the City of
Grand Island has control.
IlAfter some discussion, the motion was voted upon
and carried unanimously. The City J\1anager was directed to have
a resolution prepared for the regular Council meeting of June 15th.
These recommendations are made this 15th day of June,
1955. After a number of meetings were held, your Finance
Advisory Board respectfully submits these recommendations to
the Honorable Mayor and members of the City Council for their
consideration and action.

1. The Board met with Mr. Dave Shaad, representative
of the firm of Lutz & May, the City having requested that they
make a thorough study of the light and power rates and make
suggestions as to any changes that might be necessary to bring
.
I
these rate schedules up to date. {\,fter a thorough discussion
wi th ]\1r. Shaad, the Board has decided to recommend the analysis
and changes as recommended by this firm, with the following
two exceptions:
"Under the classification of commercial lighting
schedule, it is suggested that thoseusers falling in this
classification and being located outside the city limits not
be allowed the 10% discount for prompt payment of their accounts.
"The second exception is that the schedule of rates
for electric stoves, which has not been in complete overall
use by all users for some time, be discontinued.
"Also, there may be additional technical changes
suggested by the Electric Department.
I
2. The Board recommends to the City Council that
all properties and activities not directly connected with the
production and distribution of power in the Light and Power
Department be properly placed in the various departments of
the City Government.
3. The Board recommends that a sum equal to 10%
of the ,Q'ross receipts of the Electric Department be paid to
the City General Fund in lieu of taxes. The City in turn should
pay for the power necessary to provide all necessary services,
the rate for this power to be set by the Council.
4. The Board recommends that the Council proceed
immediately to conduct a thorough study to place all of the
I
.
various properties and activities of the City into the proper
departments for administration and accounting according to the
City Manager Plan, under which the city is now being operated.
This has been discussed with the City ]\1an!3.ger and he has pre-
pared certain pertinent information and charts and is prepared
to submit this to the Council.

items that were on the agenda and which were discussed not only
on May 3rd, but also at previous meetings, and agreed upon by
all members present. The recommendations are set out here
below as prepared by Mr. R. E. Stephens.

~
liThe Board was appointed by Mayor Martin January 19,
1955. The purpose of the Board as stated by the Mayor was to
study the accoclnting and financing of the various departments
of the City, and he advised that at the present time, due to
the necessity of enlarging the power and light facilities of
the city, that the Council was very interested in having the
Board deal particularly with this problem at this time, and at
later dates other particular problems would be referred to the
Board for their investigation and recommendations.
liThe Board found on investigating that the problems
involving financing of the new power plant were very far reaching,
particularly due to the fact that it is the first time in the
city's history that such financing has been necessary. In
I
complying with the necessary accounting practices involving
such financing, it is very evident to the Board that some
rather radical changes in the accounting system must be made.
lilt was also called to the attention of the Board by
the Light Department that many of the rates that have been in
effect over a period of many years had become out of line, due
to the addition of so many unusual power demands, and that a
study should be made and certain changes no doubt should be
macle.
"Your Board had several meetings considering these
various problems and received excellent cooperation from all
city departments in the submitting of all necessary records
I
.
and facts in order that the problem could be studied thoroughly.
The Board has now reached certain conclusions and wishes to
make certain recommendations for your consideration, which we
feel are based entirely on factual information.
liThe following are the specific recommendations which
the Board wishes to submit to the Council:

Council met as Board of Adjustment as per adjournment of
Sentember 7, 1955. All councilmen present except Martin, who was
excused on account of illness in the family.
Request of the Westland Building Company appealing from the
building inspector's orders prior to September 7, Attorney Dunmire
for the builders, requested consideration in as much as the Westland
Buildinq Comnany had over $20,000 invested in material and labor, and
from the point of view, it appeared that it would be to advantage to
the city to have more residences constructed and also improving
the area down there would be an advantage to the property owners in
that area.
Lloyd W. Kelly, representing the protestors, stated that he
as well as his clients felt that the builders that purchased this
ground made the area smaller for the purpose of putting more houses
in that area than the zoning ordinance permitted, and that he could
not feel that it could be considered a hardship case. He also stated
that being residence A, he understood the zoning ordinance could
permit a second house on a corner lot after a hearing of the
Board of Adjustment.
Mr. and Mrs. Berryman, and David Harnly spoke for the protestors.
Attorney Dunmire stated that the construction would be in the spirit
of the ordinance and it would not deteriorate values of the property
previously improved. Vaughn Wright, the potential buyer advised the
council that he was now living in an apartment where they had a
very small area and that as far as he was concerned, it would be a
hardship case. Motion ~ Winkhoff that the permit be issued to the
builders as previously executed, that the permits be granted. Seconded
by Toft.
Dale Ball representing the planning commission, at this time
stated that before action would be taken on this motion, that he felt
the planning commission should have a right to make expression,
claiming that they w~re invited to the meeting and that apparently
it wa,s for the purpose of approving the plan, and felt that they
should have a right to state their position. . Roll call ballot.

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Grand Island, Nebraska
.
I
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your formal request of September 7, 1955 for
a full Ci'.lse history of the transaction for the purchase by tI1.e City
of Grand Island of one 16,500 Ie1!J turbo generator from the ;,llis-
Chalmers CompEmy, I 8.m herewith furni shing you the following facts
in chronological order.
The necessity for the purchase of this turbo generator
and power plant improvement hE~ s been well established in a detailed
study and report made by the engineering firm of Lutz and May of
Ksnsas City, Missouri who were retained by the City for this purpose.
This report was made on J13nuary 18, 1954 and was subsequently s.dopted
by the City Council and orders given the above engineering firm to
proceed with blue print plans, specifications and estimates for the
purchase and installation of one 16,500 K.'vJ turbo generator unit.
Following the request of the City Council, the engineers
presented specifications for one 16,500 KW turbo generator and
condenser together with their estimate of $820,000.00. The City
Council at a regular meeting on November 3, 1954 adopted the
engineer's speci.fications and estimate $nd ordered the City Clerk to
advertise for bids on the same to be opened at a meeting of the City
Council on November 22, 1954.
I
There were four companies who submitted sealed bids for
furnishing the turbo generator at the following prices, bids on the
condenser being submitted as a separate item:
Elliott Company
General Electric Company
Westinghouse Company
Allis-Chalmers Company
~~ 6~,)3, 150 .00
~; 6~)2, 550.00
4? 626,300.00
d~ 624,140.00
The bids were referred to your vJater and Light Commis s ioner
and City Engineers, Lutz and Tf:ay, for tabulation, comparison,
efficiencies of operation and many other features. After two days
of intensive study and extending each bidder ample time to explain
the details of his equipment as bid by his company, the Commissioner
and ]VII'. Lutz, of Lutz and May, recommended to your City rvIanager and
City Council that the bid of the Allis-Chalmers Company was the
lowest and best bid of all pids received. rI'his recommendc,tion was
unanimously adopted by resolution by your honorable body at an open
meeting of the City Council November 24, 1954, awarding the contract
to Allis-Chalmers Company at the bid price of $624,140.00. The
contract was subsequently signed by the Mayor, attested by the City
Clerk c;md both contract and performance bond approved by the City
Attorney.
I
.
All of the above information, together with copies of the
contra.ct and minutes of the meetings, are on file in the City
Clerk's ofn.ce and are a matter of public record and verification.
May I state here that all of the above transactions, the adoption
of the engineer I s specifications cmd estimates, the advertisement
for bids, opening of bids and awarding of contract was acted upon
by the City Council at open public meetings and strictly in
accordance with the statutes of Nebraska and the Home Rule Charter.

Council of Grand Island, the City of Hastings, Nebraska opened bids

All of the above four turbo generators were purch8sed
from specifications written and furnished by Lutz and May Engineers
and are for the same size, type and steam conditions.
On March 11, 1955 following the bid at Hastings and haviftg
been informed 6f the wide difference of price of the same equipment
offered at Grand IsIEmd and Hastings, the Allis-Chalmers Company
representatives were asked for an explanation of the cause for such
a difference in the price between the two bids. Several dates were
set, by mutual consent, for a hearing; none of which were kept by
the Allis-Chalmers representatives. However, the following letter
under date of May 31, 1955 was received by the City ]Vjanager.

Mr. Otis L. Barbarick, City Manager
City of Grand Island
Grand Island, Nebraska
Dear Mr. Barbarick:
Subject: Contract #2
16,500 1\1/1 rrurbine-GenerEltor
Heference is made to my copy of your letter of May 19, 195) to
Nr. C. \v. SchvJeers, Vice PreE;ident, Director of Sales, Allis-
Chalmers T1[mufacturing Company, and your prev iOllS letters wri tten
under this same subject.
>' n <i
';;;,~, !'IV; 11
....J.A.
The City of Grand Island requested that bids be sU.bmitted fora
16,500 Kilowatt steam turbine generating unit for public opening at
8:00 P.M., on the 22nd of November, 1954. We, in good faith, sub-
mitted a bid for the City's C0nsideration. Our bid was in accordance
with the City's specifications and with all the latest features of
design included.
.
I
After the evaluation of bids subm~tted, the order was awarded to
Allis-Chalmers Tlilanufacturing Company. A formal contract, dEtted
November 24, 19Ej4, wes entered into between the City of Grand IsIEmd,
Nebraska and the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company.
Our Company is proceeding with performance of the contract as set
forth in the contract documents, and we know you will be well
satisfied with the equipment.
Frankly, while we appreciate your concern, we do not understand
your attitude regarding this contract. The City purchased a turbine
from the Company in November at the fair ml';JT}cet price. Four (4:)
months later, another City purchased a similar turbine from the
Company at lower price, which reflected the !Ili:'lrket at that time.
It is quite obvious that the City of Grand Island has not been
h~3.rmed by this chain of events. It is rather a case of the other
City obtaining a bargain at Allis-Chalmers' expense.
There is no justification for anybody reproaching the City of
Grand Island officials for not making the best contract possible.
They could not heve anticipated th[jt the mDrket would soften four
(4) months after they purchased theturbine; neither could Allis-
Chglmers. It WStS tur)'! of events which hurt the Company rather than
the City of Grand Island.
I
INe trust that calm judgment will prevail over this unaccountable
flurry, for we know that ultimF'l.tely the pElst pleasant relations
between the City and our Company will be cemented by the City's
en,loyment of another fine product of the Company.
Very truly yours,
ALLIS-CHALMERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY

'1'he I'layor and City Council considering the explanation of
the price differential in the above letter as unsatisfactory and
unacceptable, authorized Mr. Harold Prince, Attorney at Law and a
committee of the council to contact the United St;~ites Attorney
General and instruct him to immediately investigate the entire
transaction and to take such steps as found to be necessary. In a
let tel' dE3J.ted July 11, 1955 to T'1r. Harold Prince from the DepiJ rtment
of Justice, it states the matter has been referred to the
Philadelphia office of the Anti-trust Division for appropriate
action.

As far as I know, at this writing, this is where the

case history on the recent purchase of turbo generator from the

Recommendation, C. W. Burdick
To
Otis L. Barbarick
October 19, 1955 ~..
On August 18, 1952 a report was submitted, by this office,
to the City Manager covering our recommendation and planning for
future additional public water supply.
This plan was adopted and authorization given for the purchase
of three well sites, extension of 2011 water'main from the Drive-In
Theatre corner west one half mile thence north one half mile by
lOft water main to well site. Also installation of one well and
pump at this site. This project was completed in December, 1953.
Increased demand for water during the past summer, dQe to new
connections to the system and increased usage of water c06led air
conditioners, now requires the installation of two more high
pressure wells and pumps, together with necessary water main
extensions from existing mains to the new wells.
The above wells to be placed on well sites already purchased
for this purpose.
I
.
I recommend the approval of the above project and the
authorization to proceed with plans and specifications for the
purchase and installation of two wells, pumps and pipe lines.
The work to be expedited so that the wells will be available for
use by June 1, 1956.
The estimated cost is $56,000.00 and will be financed from
surplus water funds.
On motion of Winkhoff, seconded by Hehnke, recommendations
were approved.

Grand Island, Nebraska
Gentlemen:
RE: FINANCING SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.
Your City Manager advises us that your city is faced with
making certain improvements to the existing sanitary sewer system,
the cost of which will necessitate your borrowing $100,000.
Agreeable with Messrs. Burdick, Johrde and Barbarick's request,
we submit the following:
W~ propose to purchase $100,000 City of Grand Island Sewer
Revenue Bonds to be issued under an ordinance containing in general
provisions similar to those now contained in the ordinance authori-
zing Sewer Revenue Bonds previously purchased by us and which are
now outstandin~. The bonds are to be dated January 1, 1956, and
are to be due $20,000 in each of the years January 1, 1964 to 1968,
inclusive. They shall bear interest at the rate of 2 3/4% for
five years and 2~% thereafter, all bonds to be optional after five
years.
I
We will have our attorneys prepare the bond authorizing
ordinance for review by your City Attorney and subsequent enactment
by the Council, furnish the printed bonds, and our attorneys'
legal opinion.
The above offer is made for your prompt consideration and
acceptance, and delivery of the bonds to us in Omaha on or about
January 15, 1956 accompanied by the approving opinion of Wells,
Martin, Lane, Baird and Pedersen, and our notification of our
acceptance by December 1, 1955.

seconded by Behnke, approved.
Mr. Grimminger and Bayard Paine appeared before the Council,
protesting on closing South Front from Walnut to Cedar, giving
their reasons as causing a bottleneck, putting too much traffic on
Walnut and Third Street, and if and wheT H9Ppe Lumber Company
obtained the lease, be an added fire hazard. After considerable
discussion, motion of Cunningham, seconded by Winkhoff that the
lease and cancellation of same be referred to the planning commission.
A. C. Mayer appeared before the council protesting on the
location given to Grand Island Transit Company for parking purposes
on the west side of Pine from Third Street north to alley, claiming
I
that it was interfering with business of occupants of Mr. Michelson's
buildings, suggesting that the bus stop be moved a block east to the
east side Salvation Army Building. Motion of Toft, seconded by
Cunningham, taken under advisement, City Manager to contact Mr.
Camaras as to the feasibility.
Mr. Paine also suggested that there be a traffic light placed
on Eddy either at 5th or 6th, to protect school children crossing
same.
Dale Ball appeared before the Council as a representative of
the Planning Commission, suggesting that there be building code
restrictions whereby businesses moving away from the business center
I
.
furnish off-street parking, stating that the streets were for moving
traffic, rather than for parking purposes, making reference to
apartment houses, duplexes and professional offices. After some
discussion, Mayor Martin appointed Winkhoff, Hehnke, and himself
as ex officio member to work along with the planning commission on
this project.
