City Awards 4 Contracts
The city council met in special
session May 16 to act on bids opened at
the May regular monthly meeting. The
council was unable to act on the bids at
that time because a quorum was not
present.
The council awarded a .contract for
curbing and guttering to Crowell
Constructors of Lumberton, the low
bidders with $67,387. Others bidding
on the job were Bollinger Contractors,
Lumberton, $70,743; and Lee Paving,
Sanford, $87,996.
Raeford Plumbing and Heating was
awarded a heating and air conditioning
contract for the new city garage
building on a low bid of $3,088. Also
submitting a bid was bdens hlcctric,
Raeford, $3,095.
Raeford Plumbing and Heating was
awarded the contract for plumbing the
building. The firm submitted the only
bid, $1,855.
hdens Hlectric was awarded the
electrical contract for the building on a
low bid of $2,150. Also submitting a
bid was Raeford Electric Motor Service,
$4,150.
All bids submitted on the actual
building were rejected by the council
due to "inaccuracy and inadequate
information received from the bidders
on recommendation from koonce.
Noble & Associates (Lumbcrton
architecture firm)" according to City
Manager John Gaddy.
The city fathers authorized Police
Chief Leonard Wiggins to apply for a
Law Lnforcemenl Association
Assistance grant of $47.88, to be used
for purchasing law enforcement
manuals. The City must provide $12.12
of the cost. Deadline for the grant
application is June 3.
Gaddy presented the council copies
of budget requests from city
department heads for study and
consideration.
In final action, the council recinded
an earlier re-allocation of $40,000 in
revenue sharing funds. The funds had
been originally budgeted for the
renovation of City Hall, but priorities
were re-evaluated and the money
re-allocated to curbing and guttering
city streets. The council re-allocated
$34,377 of the $40,000 to curbing and
guttering and transferred $5,000 in
revenue sharing funds from garbage
disposal to curbing and guttering.
Gaddy explained part of the original
$40,000 put into curbing and guttering
had already been earmarked for land
purchase for a city garage site.
-LIBRARY ?
Continued from Date I
firm contracted for the proposed new
library building, and $80 on June I,
1973 to ?harles, Morrison, Grier
Associates, Inc. of Charlotte for an
interview. Neither expenditure was
included in the library spending plan
received by the city.
Mrs. Id wards said she had worked
with revenue sharing money before, and
was under the impression it was to be
spent when it was received. She said,
however, that she doubled the entire
amount would be spent according to the
plan, but she didn't want the libraiv to
lose the money bccause of a time limit
on spending.
I Referring to Department of Cultural
Resources pamphlet from the Division
of State Ubrary, Raleigh, Mrs. L dwards
cited a requirement that projects using
federal funds must include all necessary
ifutial equipment for operation of the
building for public library services. She
added, "No matter what we buy now, it
will be for the new library."
She said a "minimum amount (of the
funds) was to be used to secure supplies
and basic equipment including a desk,
chairs, typewriter and card catalog
necessary for operation" she added that
purchase of the items now would prove
to be a savings two years fiom now.
New equipment at the libiarv
includes one desk and chair, a stool and
a typewriter table. One typewriter i>
reportedly on order, Caddy said
invoices on the items have not been
paid.
BY JIM DEAN
Some years back when Ihe first Jt.
matlresses hit the market. I knew I had
to have one. Never again, I thought,
would I have to sleep with nothing
between me and the ground but a
blanket and an oilskin tablecloth.
I tried very hard to like air
mattresses. Over the next half do/.en
years. I owned three of the beasts. They
varied in color and design, but they had
one thing in common. They all leaked.
It never failed. I would blow up my
air mattress and fall asleep like an angel
on a cloud. Sometime during the middle
of the night, I would wake up feeling as
though I had been speared on the tip of
Pike's Peak.
Once, four of us camped on a beach
in Delaware. Periodically, our restless
slumber was punctuated by muffled
obscenities and desperate puffing as we
tried to re - inflate our bunks for
another 30 minutes of decreasing
comfort. By morning, we were all quite
literally exhausted.
It was about this time that a friend
told me a particularly gruesome horror
story involving air mattresses. It seems
that he and another fellow had taken
their families camping in a large tent.
All had air mattresses. During the night,
my friend decided that his mattress was
a trifle hard because he had pumped it
too full of air. He reached down and
loosened the cap to let out a little.
The escaping air made a slight hiss,
followed by a terrified shriek.
"There's a snake in the tent."
screamed somebody, whereupon there
was an immediate and violent exodus
accompanied by the sound of ripping
canvas. Most everybody went out under
the sides of Ihe tent, but my friend's
wife ran through the /.ippered screen
door which slowed her up until she
accidentally trod on the still hot coals
of the lire.
After hearing this tale. I stabbed all
my air mattresses to death and swore
never to own another. Instead. I began
using foam riibbei pads about four
inches thick. They're comfortable and
trustworthy, though rat he i bulky.
For nearly 10 years. I avoided an
mattresses like the plague, but last week
I was planning a family camping trip
when it suddenly occurred to me that
there was no way to gel everything we
needed into the cat since I no longer
had access to a trailer.
The loam pads were I lie problem.
Pour of them would practically fill the
back of my station wagon. On the other
hand, I thought, four air mattresses
would fit nicely, and surely science had
improved these things since my youth.
Anything would be belter than carrying
a carload of foam rubber.
Alas, I had temporarily forgotten my
oath. Also. I had forgotten the sage
advice that "men who do not learn from
histoiy are doomed to repeal it."
I bought four ail mattresses and a
bicycle pump to help blow them up. We
left for the mountains and four hours
later, we were on the banks of a fine
trout stream.
Everything went nicely until it was
time to blow up the mattresses.
Suddenly, the air pump broke. That left
us no choice. We would have to blow up
the mattresses with our breath like
ballon?. I finally got mine inflated after
45 minutes of wheezing and went to
sleep hopeful that the woist was over
In the middle of the night, I had thai
old familiar sinking feeling. Also I could
hear a faint hiss in the darkness. Not
only was my ait mattress leaking, it had
bad breath.
