Commissioner Louis M. J. Eis- ner provided the only dissension at the session when he objected vehe ly to the payment of $32, in engineering fees to the firm of Clifford and Cooper of Miami for their work in con- nection with the proposed sewer system improvements. According to the contract which the: commission entered into with the firm, they would be paid on the basis of their total estimate, for the sewer construc- tion. When a resolution was in- troduced, at last night’s meeting for payment of the bill, Eisner scored the bill “as an exorbitant price to pay.” City Manager.
