whenever necessary to repair the police vehicle.
The question of purchasing a new police vehicle was discussed between
the council and the police commission. The council requested the commission
to submit specifications for a new police car in order to place bids on a
1961 vehicle. Mr. Eickstead, Chairman of the Police Commission, recommended
that the village do away with the idea of using a station wagon which is
necessary for ambulance service, and purchase a conventional type vehicle.
Smith stated that he did not concur with this as the ambulance service
supplied by the Police Department had been instrumental in the saving of
lives in the village. It was then suggested that specifications for two
types of vehicles be submitted to the council for disposition.
