It was the recommendation of the Director of Public Works that the bids received for the construction of lavatories and a storage room at the Golf Course, known as Bid No. 55.11 be rejected due to the fact that the lowest bid was $5,002.00, and the money budgeted for this construction was not sufficient. Mr. Wade further recommended that if the installation of these facilities was needed it could possibly be done at a later date under forced account. Commissioner Sharp moved that all bids received for Bid No. 55*11 be rejected due to the fact that there is not sufficient money budgeted.

He further reported that there are ten to twelve manholes for the sewer lines that will also have to be repaired. City Manager A. H. Kennedy advised the Commission that applications for Federal aid had been received and would probably be filed by the end of this week. He further reported that Mr. Granger of the U. S. Government would be in Las Vegas on July 11, 1955 to discuss this matter.
