July 24, 1948
Members of the Common Council:-
Gentlemen-:
I am returning with my approval the resolution ordering payment of
$601.70 to the Rochester Ice and Fuel Co. However, in the future
please do not order any commodity where shipments,. even though
received as of different dates, will total $500.00 or_more.-
I appreciate the difficulty of getting bids on coal, or even the
purchase of coal in any required amounts, and in -view of the
hardship it would unnecessarily create if I were to make an issue
of the matter,- I am placing my signature on the resolution.
No doubt your actions have been in good faith; but I do not
believe this splitting of shipments will satisfy the requirements
of the law.
Any time there is a real emergency I will be willing to sign an
emergency order and thereby our actions will be unquestionable.
Respectfully,
CLAUDE H. MC GUILLAN
Claude H. Mc ui'l'lan
Mayor"
