bids shauld be rejected, and if council sh�uld decide that concrete work �nly
be done, the City should so advertise. That the City had no legal comrnit-
ment to participate in this project under Ordinance No, 455-A and that any
participatifln on the part flf the City was not for the purpose of setting policy
but only because c�rnmitment had been made same three years agfl and it
was council's opinion this should be carried out.
