The Town Recorder shall have the right and act as purchasing agent for the Town, but he shall not make any contract or purchase involving an expenditure of more than one hundred dollars ($100.00), without first obtaining the assent of Council to do so. All supplies to be used by the Town and all materials purchased by the Town for construction of any public improvement shall be purchased at the lowest cost obtainable, considering quality and grade. When required by an order of Council, supplies and material shall be purchased on competitive bids. Precise specifications and notice of the requirements of the Town shall, in such case, be given to dealers in supplies and materials of the kind required doing business in the Town and to those outside of the Town who by reason of location are best able to furnish the same at the lowest price.
