The mayor urged the mem- bers to avoid playing politics. sald: “At a ent meeting council members were invited to| Doerr’s pond to view the pumper in| a4 test. Only two members took ad- vantage of this opportunity. I hear talk of standardization, but does standardization mean anything? Pro-| grees demands new ideas. A truck five years ago is not standardizing with anything bought today. 1 am now telling of the merits of these two trucks. Both are good, no doubt, but the Maxim is $250 cheaper.

Alderman Maerz, in answer | to the mayor's talk that it means| nothing to have standardization, de- red it does mean something be- cause the parts can be gotten more easily.
