the cost was $58.475.17.

,vhich says that a municipal corp-
)ration cannot accept a bid which
is more than 10 percent above the
ngineer's estimate and a lack of
additional funds to increase the
city's participation makes the out-
look for the project somewhat
cloudy right now.
Mayor Frank Travis Jr. said
the fiz.t step will be to contact
(he Housing and YIome Finance
Agency regional office in Seattle
to see what they suggest. The
HHFA is the federal agency which
handles funds under the Aeceler-
:ted Public Works program. This
agency must approve the contract
before the city can get the fed-
eral money.

Either of these courses would
come up against the state law
limiting the amount contracts can
go over the engineer's estimate.
City Attorney John Ragan was
asked to check the state taw to
see if it was applicable to this
case. Both would require HHFA
approval.
The lower bids. he said, wer
actually pretty good bids on the
job. Part of the problem, he said,
was that in figuring the estimate,
he had to stay within the am-
cmnt of money available. Also. he
commented, that when the engin-
eering work was done. it was dis-
covered that for a very sn-mll ad-
ditional cost. there could be con-
siderable improvement in the sew-
meat of deteriorated lines. When
lhe job was originally planned, he
said. it was to be just a replace-
ment job.
The proposed project would i]-
elude installations on Cedar Street
from east of Front Street to Third

to the alley above Laurel Street
and do\\;vn the alley between Lau-
rel and Birch Streets for half a
block; Fir:;t Street from the creek

The board voted to continue to
receive written applications until

The board voted to accept the
new kitchen in the h'cnc S. Reed
building on the recommendation ot
architect Steve Johnson.
Oltman reported that the win-
dows in the back of the Junior
High School building were being
broken out and told the board he
believed the best solution would be
to cover some of the windows with
plywood.
Oltman was asked to get esti-
mates on the cost of replacing the
present wooden steps on the walk-
way from ML. View behind the
Junior High with concrete. The
steps are also subject to numer-
ous instances of vandalism which
at times leaves them in a danger-
ous condition.
Oltman reported that he had a
contractor take a look at the root
on the High Sclmol Gym and, he
recommended that new roofing be
installed before acoustical material
was put on the ceiling.
The board voted to send a letter
of congratulations to Football
