Hardy said after conferring

Storm Siren
Test Set
Wednesday
The city’s civil defense storm
warning siren system will be
tested at 10 a.m. Wednesday,
according to Loyd Berger,
Perry fire chief, who also is the
city civil defense director.
Berger stressed the sirens
will not be sounded for test
Wednesday in the event there
may be a storm warning issued
for that hour by the weather
bureau. The forecast issued
Tuesday indicated suitable
weather should prevail then.
The city has a total of seven
storm warning sirens that can
be controlled centrally from the
fire station. Chief Berger said
firemen, policemen and other
city employes will be positioned
so that at least one man will be
at the location of each siren at
the time of test sounding.
The switch will be thrown for
a two-minute sounding of the
sirens, Berger said.
The storm sirens are located
at the fire station, near Second
and Cedar streets, near
Thirteenth and South Boundary
streets, near Eighth and Kaw
streets, on Seventh street be-
tween Noble and Otoe streets,
near the elementary school and
at Wakefield and Parklane.

lone bid that included
three plans, each with a
different price. One plan
called for speakers located
on three sides of the ceme-
tery and one at the tool
house. This plan, as did the
others, called for an
amplifier, recorded pro-
grams, a time clock and
wire and other materials
for connections. The price
$1,343.50.
The second plan, which was
rejected by vote, was priced at
$977. Three speakers would
have been located on a tower in
the center of the cemetery. The
third plan called for three
speakers located at the tool
house. This plan called for
$836.50.
After reading the bid.
Councilman John Nemec said
he had been for the plan, but
now felt the people of Perry
were not for it. Another council
member, Mrs. Florence Bru-
ner, said all the people she had
talked with had expressed the
opinion the chimes were not
needed.
Mayor Boone displayed a bit
of anger and also disappoint-
ment at rejection of the chimes.
"People are raising hell be-
cause we have money in the
bank," he said.
Later in the meeting Mayor
Boone offered apology for his
remark to Rev. John Fechner,
pastor of the Church of the
Nazarene, who had come to the
meeting to give the opening
prayer. Mayor Boone followed
the prayer by leading the flag
salute.
Motion to accept the $977
plan was made by Dr.
Frank Marburger with F.
T. [Jack] Davis offering
the second. These two men
sounded the only yes votes
on roll call. Council mem-
bers voting no were Larry
Koch, John Nemec, La-
vern Lenaburg, Howard
Kendle, Mrs. Florence
Bruner and Leo Hasen-
fratz.
Marburger said two out-of-
town developers had made in-
quiries about city requirements
for sub-divisions in Perry. He
said they had asked information
about city requirements for
laving water and sewer lines,
building streets and supplying
electricity.
Mayor Boone said the city
does not have such an ordinance
governing sub-divisions and
their development. However,
