The contract price of the meters was $14,500. Empire meters were chosen as the standard meter for Casper because of construction which it is thought will best withstand the hardships that are worked on meters here through the} peculiar chemical composition of city water. The Empire meters will cost the city approximately $5 a piece more than the bids submitted on other meters, but the records of the Empire meter which are in service here ‘indicate that the savings on repair in short time will make up for the greater first cost and \ more effective meter will have been installed. ‘The decision of the city council came after nearly two hours of dis- cussion. Bids were submitted on eight kinds of meters. All of the meters were eliminated from the standardiza- tion with the exception of Empire, Ar- tic and, Trident meters. , “Representatives of each of these bes Me etatine wecsiatiowed is tet utes in which to present the claims for fe meter they handle.
