-7 Chief Entner had explained in his Janaury 5th memorandum the reasons he was recommending the joint purchase contract for the new fire pumper be awarded to General Safety Equipment Corporation. He told Councilman Makowske the equipment could not be bid as part of the total package because the City' s needs differ from those of n other municipalities joining in the purchase. He reiterated his estimation that the City could save between $8 ,000 and $10,000 by purchasing the pumper jointly, citing a recent independent bid for such a pumper as coming in at $132 , 000 for an apparatus which was not fully equipped as compared to General 's bid of $124 , 800 which included all the equipment specifically required by the City. The Mayor again attributed the success of the program to Chief Entner' s foresight and efforts where other municipalities had considered such an endeavor impossible.
