The County Welfare Board, thereupon, requested- the firm of

_ bids, were. •called for as of August•'10, -1959. Six bids ,were received, the lowest

bid being that of .the. Snelling Company in the.-am ount`,of $34; 20.0. 00. rMr °.'Carl E.
Crausman 'reporte.d• to ,the Board that the bid is unqualified and is based on plans .
and specifications `arid that the bidder is a 'responsible. contractor. It was hia'
recomm endation that` the- contract be awarded to the low bidder'.

for air conditioning of the entire operating Suite. :which is necessary if the
