Commissioner Houston stated that the tabulation of bids on the
garbage packer and chassis reveals Hollywood Nord as being the
low bidder. They bid on both the Leach and Gar Wood packers.
The Leach is $280.00 cheaper, the question is to find out the
difference in the packers, if any. We have representatives of
both companies here if there are any questions the commissioners
wish to ask.
Paul Turner, representing Gar Wood stated that they were rep-
resented in practically every city in this vicinity. We can give
excellent service, and will give you a one year written guarantee
on labor and parts.
Mr. Smith, representing Leach stated that up until about two
years ago they were known as the Fla-Ga Tractor Company, and that
their policy and service is the very highest. We can also give
you a written' guarantee for one year on labor and parts. Ile are
located at 3139 North Miami Avenue, we have four men on the road
all the time.
Commissioner Houston stated that the trouble we have is that we ,
only have two pieces of equipment, when one of them breaks down
we are in trouble. In a city such as Hollywood, where they have
possibly 20 pieces it does not make too much difference.
Mr. Turner advised that they had a piece of equipment to loan
when the cities do not have extra units when they have a break-
down.

checking packers for the last five years, or since the city
