Howard Says City May Lose Gas
Tax Monies If It Holds Up Street Jobs
(Continued from Page 1)
said in effect, the city had only
really received one legitimate
bidfor the job and that was from
Huntington.
Councilman Ben Barry moved
that the council reject all bids
and call for resubmission of bids
in early April. j
Howard then asked the council
to exercise caution in rejecting
the bids. He said the city was
putting itself in the position of
perhaps having to refund gas ‘tax
monies and that was where he
had come in,
Howard was hired several months
ago to straighten out city finances
and in his study had discovered
that the city had gone ahead on a
gas tax financed job without state
approval and ended up having to
pay the state back more than
$7,000,
He said Monday night that he
didnot want that to happen again
and urged the council to delay
action until he and the city
manager could confer with the
state.
Ingram maintained that there
was no danger of losing state funds
and that Howard would discover
that when he checked with the
State,
Howard countered that it was his
belief that it was Ingram's firm
which had been the engineer on
the other abortive job which cost
the city the $7,000,
Barry said he felt Ingram was
competent and believed the
council should take his recommendation,
Ingram said there was no urgency
on the~matter and there was still
time to check with the state if
that was what the council wanted,
Barry withdrew his motion to
reject the bids and Mayor Arch
McPherson moved that the matter
be tabled until 7:30 p. m. Monday.

vehicles of all sizes and descriptions carry victorious and not so
victorious deer hunters.
In short, the traffic situation,
on this the last day of the first
deer hunting weekend, was
horrendous. I arrived at Sacramento Airport with little time to
spare.
"IT have your reservation here
through to New York,” the young
girl at the counter said. “That
will be $156.56."
“Will you take a personal
check, " I asked?
“Why of course,” shesaid, with
a little hurt creeping into her
voice to show that she could not
understand why I had even
bothered to ask.
“How much is that again,“ I
said fumbling for check book and
pen amid the mess of last minute
papers I had jammed into my
inside coat pocket.
“One hundred and fifty six
dollars and fifty six cents,” she
repeated with an air that clearly
indicated she was beginning to
wonder who this sweating kook
was,

“This isa one way ticket,” she
said as people in the line behind
me shifted from one foot to the
other and the loud speaker announced “passengers holding
space on Pacific Flight 453 should
now be on board. “
And away Iwentin one of those
ungainly looking, but apparently
highly efficient prop jet planes.
Suddenly there was an attractive
blue encased young lady at my
elbow.
“We have coffee, tea or milk
and drinks for purchase," she said
showing a fine set of straight
“white teeth.
After my ordeal of checks and
one way tickets I decided on a
drink for purchase and duly produced a rumpled dollar bill for
a drink in a fine, almost-likecrystal, plastic glass. In case
of crashes, I thought, fondling
the glass, it's so flexible that on
impact-*it would shatter without
sending glass slivers through you.
I had to gulp my drink for
purchase for we were soon bumping over. the coastal range and
then winging over the water into
San Francisco.
And there I was in San Francisca
After several weak drinks I had
a mediocre dinner and then set
about to wander around the huge
jet age air terminal until time
for my jet for New York.
One of the amazing things about
jet age travel is that one can
cross the nation in an easy four
hours, but can just as easily spend
another four hours waiting for a
connecting flight or spend two
hours getting from the airport to
the city.
So I waited and watched the
amazing parade of humanity pass
before me. A startlingly beauti* ful blonde girl with upswept hair
that never all seemed to stay in
place, a stooped, but spritely
old man in baggy pants, rumpled
sports coat and a sweater, anda
young man with very thick glasses
and a slightly desperate look ali
talked animated french nearby
and tried to figure out the latest
model Polaroid camera.
One of the TWA ticket agents,
a tall, good looking and slightly
effeminate young man, approached.
“Parlez vouFrancais, “ he said,
leaning down to the old man.
"But of course,” the old man
said smiling and making a sweeping gesture with his hands, “I am
from France, "
The young man looked sheepish,
The four of them laughed and he
then proceeded in fluent french
totellthe old man about his seat
on the plane. The two then left
and then the old man returned and
explained that hehas had his seat
moved up to the front so that he
would be better able to see the
movie.
Everywhere one goes in the airport, be it the restaurant, the
bar, the coffee shop or the men,’s
room, there is a loudspeaker
playing soupy music. This is
constantly interrupted with
urgent messages by smoothvoiced men or women.

Hodge did some quick figuring
and asked if $20 per month would
be objectionable to Hennessy and
Fairbanks until such time as the

Tamietti said that this would be
penalizing these two while the

users outside the city remained
static, He said he would favor
making the two requested sewer
hookups at the existing rental
rate with the clear understanding
that the rate structure would be

The council approved the sewer
tieins on this basis,
