City Manager Kennedy reported that no bids had been received for the sale of the Wildcat Lair building, but he indicated that several proposals might be received in the next week. This matter was continued until September 21, 1955. It was reported by the City Manager that under the Bond Issue the Fire De­partment has been buying transite pipe and having it laid in conjunction with the Southern Nevada Telephone Company. He requested authority at this time to purchase an additional $3500.00 worth of pipe to continue this operation. He stated that two bids for the furnishing of this material had been received, one from a local concern and the other from a firm in San Bernardino; and since both bids were the same, he would like to make the purchase from the local business, Standard Wholesale Supply Company. Commissioner Bunker moved the City Manager be authorized to purchase transite pipe in the amount of $3500.00 from Standard Wholesale Supply Company to con­tinue the installation of the fire alarm system in conjunction with the Southern Nevada Telephone Company project. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Mr. Kennedy requested permission to secure bids for twelve three-way radio units.

He indicated that this installation would cost approximately $700.00. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved the City Manager be authorized to secure bids for the installation of twelve three-way radio units in City equipment. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the improvement of 25th Street was reported upon by the City Manager. Mr. Kennedy stated that the rights-of-way could be secured with the exception of the property owned by Mr. Dick Swartz. He requested permission to purchase this right-of-way for $2,000.00, said amount which will be split by the City and Clark County when the improvement is completed. Mr Kennedy reported that in order for the County to put up their share of the purchase of the right-of-way would require approximately seven months, and it is necessary to secure this property as soon as possible.
