He has collected bells brought over by the Swedish people who came to Star Valley, Wyo., in the early 1800s and bells from Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, and Russia. Five years ago, Clark started to collect information about freedom and liberty to go with After three days of inspection, it had to be returned to its maker because it did not meet specifications set in the contract The city council announced Tuesday night that the truck was returned and the contract canceled because the builder, Peter Pirsch and Sons of Kenosha, Wisconsin built it wrong and was 90 days late delivering it. The truck was supposed to be a combination aerial ladder truck and pumper. But when it was delivered, it was discovered that it had no place to carry fire hoses. Roger Dutson, city attorney, said that the specifications clearly state the truck must capacity to hold about 200 feet of hose. Dutson said that without the hoses, the truck doesnt qualify as a pumper. He advised city officials to return it to Wisconsin, advice promptly taken. The council went into a closed session for three hours on Tuesday night to discuss possible litigation regarding the truck. A $45,000 down payment was made when the $221,000 fire truck was or dered, said city manager Richard Kirkwood. He added that the city has appealed to the dealer, Superior Fire Apparatus, to return the money. When the council reconvened into public session no legal action was announced. Mayor Jack Pierce said that the city was not going to make any moves that will put them in jeopardy of litigation. Kirkwood said that the city will assume its money will be refunded. If the money is not returned, then the city will decide on what legal action to take. But Kirkwood added that until they get the money back, they can not proceed in getting another fire truck.
