City bids show $174,000 difference
Williams Brothers figures total nearly $260,000 as compared to $86,000 low
By K B ROBBINS
Herald City Kditor
A City Commission-appointed
review committee has selected for
recommendation one of three bids
ranging from about $86,000 to more
than $260,000 for consulting
engineering services for five city
projects.
City Manager Nellie Skaggs said
today a determination has been
made by the committee of three city
commissioners, appointed by Mayor
Bobby l^ee Monday, but said an-
nouncement of the selection should
be made during the next meeting of
the commission.
Commissioner Gerald Rush, who
serves on the committee, also
declined to name the selection. The
remaining two committee members,
Commissioners I xiuis Whittaker and
Dorothy Zumwalt, were unavailable
for comment today
Three bids were received for the
city's request for consulting
engineering services for five pro-
jects: final closure of the city’s land-
fill, the Watchorn Street drainage
project, improvements to Sapulpa
I^ike and Dam, an industrial sewage
pretreatment project, and a study of
trihalornethane levels in the city's
water supply.
The bids were submitted by
Breisch engineering Co. of Sand
Springs, Farrar-Hudspeth Inc of
Tulsa, and Williams Brothers
Engineering Co., also of Tulsa.
The apparent low bidder is
Farrar-Hudspeth. The engineering
company estimated maximum total
fees and costs at $88,922. Breisch
Engineering's bid ranged from
$126,000 to $229,000, depending on the
scope of services. Williams
Brothers' bid estimated maximum
fees and costs at about $260,000

Demos select San Francisco
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
Democratic Party today chose San
Francisco as the site of its 1984
national convention.
The Democratic convention site
selection committee selected San
Francisco over Chicago, Detroit,
New York and Washington, D.C.
after months of spirited competition
for the right to be the host for the
meeting next summer
San Francisco got 23 of the 27
committee votes on the second
ballot at the committee’s meeting in
auditorium of the National
Education Associations
headquarters. Chicago got two
votes, New York and Detroit one
each.
On the first ballot San Francisco
had 13 votes, one short of the
majority, followed by Washington
with five, Detroit with four, Chicago
with three and New York two.
The San Francisco bid was the
early favorite because it was
strongly supported by Charles
Manatt, the Democratic National
Committee chairman
Chicago and Detroit both pushed
hard in the final weeks of the
process to overcome the San
Francisco lead. Both stressed their
central and politically strategic
locations and their symbolic value
as cities that have suffered as a
result of Republican economic and
budget policies. With the election of
Harold Washington, both cities also
have black Democratic mayors
But San Francisco had a woman
Democratic mayor, Dianne Fein-
stein, as well as its location in the
state with the largest electoral vote
to bolster its bid
The convention sessions will be
held at San Francisco’s new
downtown Moscone Center
Previous San Francisco conventions
have been at the old Cow Palace, a
spacious but remote building With
650,000 square feet of space and
room for 20,000 seats, the Moscone
Center will be ample for the
Democrats' 5,000-plus delegates and
alternates, an equal or larger media
contingent and public
The Democrats will be returning
to the West Coast for the first time
since 1960, when they nominated
John F Kennedy at Iz>s Angeles
Their only other California con-
vention was in 1920, when they
nominated James M Cox at San
Francisco Franklin D Roosevelt
was the vice presidential candidate
chosen at that convention.
Die Republicans decided last year
to hold their 1984 convention ui

Sapulpans find
showering hard
drop at time ’
There might have been a few
Sapulpans in the Watchorn and
Lincoln area that had a hard time
showering this morning, but ap-
parently not too many.
A 12-inch water main broke
early this morning, but city
dispatcher Marie Wilson said she
received just “two or three”
phone calls about it.
The Herald learned of the
break when residents of the area
reported having to bathe “one
drop at a time.”
Wilson said she found out about
the break when she reported to
work at 8 a.m. She said it was fix-
ed by 10:30 or 11 a.m
Attorney changes hat
to sit as city judge
KELLYVIL1JC - Aside from his
regular duties as a local defense at-
torney, on Monday evening I-antz
McClain dons the hat of a municipal
judge and heads for Kellyville.
Substituting for vacationing Judge
Tom Lucas, McClain says he con-
siders "it an honor to be asked to
serve as the Kellyville Gty Judge.”
A case changes perspective when
one becomes the decision maker, ac-
cording to McClain.
"Rather than simply representing
your client, you have to weigh the in-
terests of the city in enforcing its or-
dinances against the rights of the in-
dividual,” McClain points out
"You find the cases are more dif-
ficult than you would think There
are some that are extremely dose to
call," he continued.
Although McClain has only been in
the judge's seat for three ap-
pearances, he finds the experience
to be interesting and enlightening
And enjoyable?
"Yes,” says McClain, "so far I’ve
enjoyed it.”
Police nab familiar
juvenile in gas theft
A 15-year-old Sapulpa youth, ar-
rested recently for choking an
11-year-old girl and theft of mer-
chandise from Humpty Dumpty,
was apprehended again at 2:30 a.m.
today for theft of gasoline, police
said.
Sapulpa Police Lt. Charles
Williams said the youth and another
juvenile were located in an
automobile driven by a 21-year-old
woman in the 800 block of North
Brown just minutes after police
were called regarding the gasoline
theft.
The two Juveniles had been seen,
Williams said, carrying a gasoline
container from the automobile to
parked car at 805 N. Brown.
Williams said the 15-year-old admit-
ted taking gasoline from the car
after being questioned.
Engineers with both Farrar-
Hudspeth and Williams Brothers
have worked on earlier phases of
most of these projects — Williams
Brothers in its former capacity of ci-
ty engineer, and Farrar-Hudspeth,
whose project manager for these
services is Robert Day, formerly
employed by Williams Brothers dur-
ing that firm’s tenure as a city
agent
However, fees and costs for the in-
dividual projects vary widely among
all three bidding firms Following is
a breakdown of each company's
bids.

A complaint that Creek County
deputy sheriffs are refusing to serve
civil papers unless paid server fees
is being investigated by District At-
torney David Young
Young confirmed today he had
received several complaints” from
attorneys concerning the status of
deputies as private process servers
and payment of fees for their
services.
”1 am asking Oklahoma Attorney
General Mike Turpen for an opinion
to clear the legal air regarding the
practice," Young said
The Creek County official released
a letter mailed Tuesday to Turpen
requesting an opinion concerning
"Are salaried deputy sheriffs, who
are also performing work as private
process servers licensed under pro-
vision of 12 O S. 1981. Sec 1581, and
who collect server fees under provi
sion of 12 O.S 1981, Sec 1581.2. re-
quired to remit daily such server
fees into the County Treasurer as
provided by 19 O.S 1979. Sec. 541,'
Young said he had received com-
plaints regarding refusal of deputies
to serve papers issued through
district court without payment and
that deputies are "moonlighting" as
licensed process servers under the
Oklahoma statute covering process
servers
"I want to know what the law is
and it is not clear," Young said

work," Glenn said "We can protect
women's economic rights We
shall overcome racism and bigotry

today for the challenges of tomor-
