SO. NEV. TELEPHONE CO. Fire Alarm System BLOW SAND Sunrise Acre Park CEMETERY AGREEMENT CITY MANAGERS' CONFERENCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 100-25 Mr. Rounthwaite stated that very fine relations with the telephone company have been established with regard to house moving and in return they have agreed to go ahead with the City on planning a conduit fire-alarm system. This system would cost the City $10,000 to place said conduit which would be on Fremont Street from Main to 5th and Carson Street from Main to 14th. The money is available in the Capital Outlay Budget of 1955. By working with the Telephone Company at this time the City will save approx­imately $40,000 as ditches will be supplied by the Company. Commissioner Sharp moved that the tentative bids be filed and approval given this matter. Seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. The City Manager recommended that the bid on the blow sand for Sunrise Acre Park be awarded to Howard Geer at 95 cents a cubic foot.
