Questions were raised about the advisability of the purchase of this equipment
by Mr. Jukich as he felt that the cost figures prepared by the City Engineer did
not cover all of the cost involved. Councilman W. Roberts stated that he felt
that there should be more study before the Council took action. There was con-
siderable discussion regarding per ton cost.
The following points were brought out in favor of having the plant:
Two graders now used at the mixing bed could be used for other purposes.
That when the mix was purchased from private contractors during the time
when the material was wanted that the contractors had a great demand for
the mix from other parties and often it was necessary to wait for delivery
of the mix.
If the City had its own plant the mix would be available when needed and
during the time when paving weather was ideal.
