you that greater value. • . '

First aftermath of the council split
several weeks ago over awarding this
year's contract for water meters was
evident at the city hall Friday when
it was learned 20 applicants for 1H-
inch size service connections will have
to wait until the city can get the cor- I
rect diaphragms for new meters now
on hand. .
In the city water department me-
chanical shops, diaphragms of yellow
bras* in the meters must be replaced
by diaphragms or red brass which have
been ordered from the manufacturer
to bring the meters up to specifications
on which the. con tract w*» awarded,
according to M. B. Cunningham, water
superintendent.
Purchase Wrangle
Review of the contract file showed
that the IH-inch meters were bought
on low bid of Worthington-Gamon
Meter Co., recommended by Cun-
ningham. At the time of contract let- i
ting.- however. Cunningham tried un-
successfully to get the council to split
the order for domestic size meters be-
tween the Worthington-Gamon com-
pany and the Pittsburgh Equitable
Meter Co, who filed identical prices.
. Cunningham baaed hl* recommenda-
tion for the split bid on grounds that
many shipment* of meters on the for-
mer Worthington-Gamon contract
contained parts which did not conform
to the city's specifications and had to
be changed locally.
M Involved
His recommendation for splitting
contracts however, did not extend to
the m-lnch sine, only M of which
were involved in the contract, and on

pany waa lowest bidder

The matter of deciding which city
. projects should be acted upon is due
for a general discussion when the
mayor's action committee meets Friday
afternoon. -
While this is the city'* official com-
mittee. the same general topic is oc-
cupying specific attention of the city
League of Women Voters, and.
through Its representatives, several
other civic and womens' organisations.
Out of conferences already held by
these groups, acting independently of
each other a definite move was re-
vealed Friday toward a thorough study
of the present city charter, existing
city financing and tax revenues, and
possible specific recommendations by
the official “action" group on future
development projects.
Monthly Meeting* Planned
Moving quietly, the women voters
league representative* have been
studying the entire local government
question for two year*, and plan a
aeries of monthly meetings this winter
at which local government officials
will be invited to explain detailed op-
eration of city and school district
affairs. r
, William GUI jr, city manager, is
scheduled as the December meeting
speaker and members of the group
have a considerable number of
questions to ask him regarding the
city's budgetary procedure.
Their consideration of the city
charter probably will be postponed
until enough copies are available to
supply each member, but until the city
council moves to get the basic doc-
ument printed, the league members
are passing around the single copy
they've been able to obtain from the
city hall.
Group Set te Study Projects
L. A. Macktanburg, chairman of the
official action committee, indicated
his group is ready to begin its detailed
studies of proposed projects, but city
officials have known for some time
that the work of planning future
development is clooely linked with the
problem of administering new projects
added as capital asset*, and that the
matter of administration has been
complicated for years by conflicting
provisions of the present city charter.
Basically, the action committee faces
the dual problem of deciding upon
meritorious and essential development
projects, and limit its selections to
those the city 5* able to finance.
Homestead exemption, and its effect
upon sinking fund revenues, tope the
H«t of specific problems involved on
the financing side. Bond issues are
financed wholly from ad valorem tax-
ation.
Taxation Lead Considered
A homestead, having a tax valuation
of *1.000 or les*. 1* not subject to tax-
ation on any bond issue except the
remaining outstanding bonds issued
before the homestead exemption taw
became effective Consequently, those
homesteads have not been levied upon
to pay any part of the sinking fund
tax levy which applies to the city,
county and school district bond issues
totaling almost 130 millions for con-
struction work now pending.
One question for the action commit-
tee to consider 1* how much additional
bond issue levy property can stand.
*n0 whether the city's financial struc-
ture now 1* such that any new proj-
ects after being built, can be financed
in their operation.

On the other hand, at least
