Therefore, that would be all that would be neces- sary and on that basis he thought it in order to permit the operation. The motion made by Councilman Holmes, seconded by Councilman Bishop that the permit be issued and the fee waived carried four to one as follows: AYES: COUNCILMAN HOLMES, BISHOP, WILSON AND MAYOR COLE NOES: COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN ABSENT: NONE Mayor Cole announced that the hour of 8:00 o'clock P.M. having arrived, it was the time and place fixed for opening sealed bids or proposals for the work described in resolution of In- tention, Resolution No. 59-45, and ordered by Resolution No. 59-54, said work generally consisting of certain sewer work in Assessment District No. 1958-10, Chevalier Street.

City Attorney Gorlick stated the bid bonds all seemed to be in order; however, he wished to point out that the bid bond sub- mitted by Laird Paving Company was not signed by the bidder as principal it simply had the assurance of the surety company as bidder. The bid bond form In the City's specification re- quires the signature of the bidder as the prindipal, however, it'was a defect that Council could waive if they desired. Mr. Gorlick also called attention to the bid of Bebek-Rodriquez the form provided In the specification was used and there was nothing wrong with the form, except that after 10% of the amount of the bid" Mr. Rodriquez had the figures 1070" which did not look like 10%". Mr. Goriick said it raised a question but could be left up to the City Engineer as to whether or not he had submitted the required bid bond.
