which must be cleaned up as quickly as possible in the<br />

interests <strong>of</strong> <strong>Somerville</strong> f s good name and the health <strong>of</strong> its<br />

citizens.<br />

We have acquired some equipment to_ accomplish this<br />

job, but it ia vitally Important that' we not lose the<br />

opportunity to get that which is rightfully ours, a' new<br />

Elgin street sweepers the order for which was placed in _1946«<br />

The failure on the_part <strong>of</strong> your Honorable Board to<br />

appropriate the__ne_cess_ary money for the_purchase. <strong>of</strong> this<br />

street sweeper tonight means that <strong>Somerville</strong> will lose "lie to<br />

another ci'fy.<br />

I point out - that we may not be able to obtain<br />

another street sweeper for two years or more, and it is<br />

estimated that the cost at that time will be approximately<br />

$1000. more than what we can purchase this brand new modern<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> equipment for today.<br />

I trust that in the conscientious discharge <strong>of</strong> your<br />

duties as the appropriating body, that you see fit to appropriate<br />

the sum necessary tonight _to_purcha_se_this new Elgin<br />

street sweeper^ so 'that tomorrow morning I can notify the<br />

Company that we are ready to accept immediate delivery.<br />

Yours respectfully,<br />

Gf Edward Bradley<br />
