RE: Adding Machine, from Treasurer. A communication from the City Treasurer, r elative to adding machine service, was presented and read, as follows: To the Honorable 1�nyor Port Townsend, Washington, August 4, 1936. and City Councilmen. Gentlemen: - With reference to a statement issued by the Bµrroughs Adding Machine Company, billing the City of Port Townsend under a contract for the repaib and upkeep of the City's adding machines, I request that the part referring to Yachine No. 145195 be excluded from i.' the contract and cancelled in accordance with the terms of the contract. This machine, in use in the treasurer's office, is of a type with which I am very familiar and I have seen them in use for many years without attention of any kind under con ditions more rigorous than this machine receives. I checked with the Treasurer of Jeffer son County and the First American National Bank of Port Townsend and they also do not feel the necessity of including machines of this type in their service contracts. The billing is for the second half of 1936 and their usual form of service contra provides for cancellation at any time by either party to the contract. The annual saving to the upkeek of the Treasurer's office would be 111.10. Very truly yours, E. LI. Stockand City Treasurer. +ff?''fS Yr^r51"A 3 'x{ i5, `I r rl h i5 t'�+4 i yy; t aN R u 4 36 continued. i uvY �`ay;! 4r It was moved by Councilman Lafferty and seconded by Councilman Hirtzler that the rec- ?�sa." om.fendation of the Treasurer to cancel the contract as relating to the Treasurer's machine be adopted.
