Ci ty Clerk Johnson and Building Inspector Snyder. Visitors and .
interested bidders were also present.

the alternate bids which were requested and was advised in the affirma-
tive.
Councilman Turville asked for, and was given the floor. Mr. Turville
read a prepared statement as follows:
Mr. Mayor, you and all of us have been under considerable pres'sure
from many sources to remodel the Jenkins Building. Bef<5re .\V'eopen bids
on its remodeling and before you entertain now or at any future date,
any motions for' acceptance of any bids and the .entering into any
contract for such improvement, I want to make a motion which, in my
opinion, will avoid duplication of problems that 'arose 'under the Fire
Station Contract.
Therefore, ,f.1r . Mayor, I move that when the Council of this City
enters into any agreement or contract for the remodeling of the Jenkins
Building, that the City, Attorney incorporate in that agreement or
contract a clause giving the City right and authority'to annul, cancel
or revoke the agreement or contract' for a period of 45 days from the
date of its execution, without any liability on the part of the 'City
to anyone else in the contract for any claims, damages, material or
labor, or for the breach of the agreement or contract by reason of
said annulment, ,cancellation or revocation.
I have typed this motion and I hand it to the Clerk so that the
Clerk can be sure to have my statement and the motion as stated.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Beals. On roll call vote the
