Mr.. Stevenson introduced the following
resolution which was adopted after consider
able discussion:
ResOived, That tho Chief Engineer of the
Water Department be authorized TO advertise
for proposals for building two boilers for the
City Pumping Station, bids to be received from
Wilmington builders only
Mr.. Taylor desired tb know what the OBJ
jeet was In not receiving bids from outside
parties,
Mr.. Stevenson In reply SAID that the com
mittee thought that as the people Of tho city
would have to pay for the boilers they
should be built here and give our wOrkme1
a chance. Another object was that should
anything happen to the boilers the me-
chanics who made them would be right
here to repair them.
Mr. Pickels also was in favor of doing all
work here. He believed in home protection.
Mr.. Blake (interruptlng) )-"Why did you
not think of that when you bought the
bulIW
Mr. Pickels-"I do npt want any bulls ex-
cept ilish bulls, and there is plenty Of
Mr.. Dlake-'I mean the English bull,
and there is plenty of them"
Mr.. Pickels, continuing his argument,
said he heartily favored the resolution and
would vote for 1t.
Mr. Taylor-It may be all good enough to
have them built here, but give others out
side a chance. If people of other cities
would do the same thing, we would not be
sending hips and cars all over the world.
Why it has only been short time ago that
Hillts Il Jones put boilers in the PhiIadel-
phia water works. Ono car firm sent cars
to the Brooklyn bridge, and machinery
made has been sent tp all parts. If those
people should say no work should go out
side, what would become of Wilmington
1t may be good in sentiment but not in
principle.
MIR. johnson also favored the resolution.
Mr. Taylor moved to strike out that por-
tion of the resolution referring 10 Whining
ton bidders only.
Mr. Pickles moved to lay the motion on
the table. Adopted.
