State PWA Director Gives Decatur Authority For Entering Contracts For New Equipment. $49,800 GRANT F. M. Logan, state PWA director of Indianapolis, has authorized the city of Decatur to enter into contract witli the General Electric company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company for a 2.006 KWH turbine, switchboard panels, exciter and ' condenser, based on bids received ] by the council. May 7. The following awards were approved by Mr. Logan: General Electric Co., turbine, $51,500 and switchboard panels, $1,849. Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, condenser, $19,755: ! dual driven exciter, $4,740. Contracts will be prepared at once by city attorney John DeVbse, Mayor A. R. Holthouse announced today, with the expectation that they will be approved ; immediately and work on the proi ject started at once. Mr. Logan, in his letter of approval to the city, summed the cost of the project ami set out the amount which the government ! would donate and the total io be raised locally. The project figures $112,660. inI eluding the cost of the building, $9,456; the above machinery and ! an estimate of $13,000 for piping 1 and foundations. The government’s grant is for : $49,800 and the city’s share is $62,200. Not a penny of the amount will be raised through taxes, as the department has sufficient cash on hands to pay for the improvej ments. The PWA did not accept the i city’s recommendation for a Gen- ! eral Electric exciter. The Wes.t---i inghouse bid was S6O under the i base bid of the General ElectricVs and figured also on a merit basis, covering a 20 year period of operation. tiie Westinghouse bid was also lower. Mr. Logan ruled. The council changed its recommendation to conform to the PWA I ruling so that the award of the |. turbine and other equipment could ! be made without sending the bids to Washington. The Indiana Engineering and Construction company of Fort , Wayne has the building addition ' contract. Work will start on the i building in a few weeks. 0 To Observe 25th College Anniversary — The 25th anniversary ot Presid- ! ent Otho Winger’s administration as president of Manchester college at North Manchester, will be celebrated with special programs Wed--1 nesday and Thursday, May 27 and 28.
