The Sensation About the Awarding Of =
Contract for Fire Engine for Ale.
Gheny is Exploded.
There has been great deal of talk about the
awarding of contract for new fire engine
in Allegheny, and charges of crookedness
have been made. Controller Brown and
implicated % It e was stated that
an advertisement for bids for q second-class en-
gine had been published and that the contract
pany for first-class engine at s4.5OO. the high
est bid. 1t was also stated that the price was
not mentioned in the Silsby bid and that Mr..
Brown. after looking over the other bids, went
out into the hall and called the Silsby agent
and gave him q Tip" so that he could insert
figures that would insure him the contract
This statement is not only denied, but Is dis
proved by the minutes Of the meeting some
of the bids we're for second-class engines, but
two of them were for first and second class, and
one Of them was for second and tnird-class
engines
The bias were as follows: Silsby, first class
1900 second class. s., 200; Clapp Jones, first
class, y, 300 second class, "a eoO Ohrens A Manu-
featuring Company: second class, $1,000: an
other kind, 81, 100; La France Manufacturing
Company second class. 81, $40.
When these bids were opened 1t was found
that the Silsby Company had not placed price
was requested to call the agent into the room.
He came in and explained that he did not
know that a first-class engine was wanted, and
put in the figures without knowing what the
other bids were.
There could not be any crookedness," said
Mr.. Brown, "as no person but members OF the
committee knew what the other firms had bid
After talking over the matter it was decided to
take the best engine, one that we knew some
thing about, in preference to new one that
we knew nothing about,if it did cost hundred
or two dollars more. The Clapp Jones bid for
a first-class engine was 81, 300 and there can be
no charge of crookedness on the part OF myself
or members CT the committee for giving a tip
TO the Silsby man. for his bid was 500 more.
The members of the committee wanted good

Some very important changes to the consti-
tuition are contemplated and a full representa-

will be considered will be a scale for tank fur
naces. something that has never been in the
of a proposition from MIR. James Chambers, of
Chambers & Mckee, whose extensive tank fur
mace plant is located at Jeanette. He offers to
single strength glass, which is equal to $50 56
per month. but there is proviso that the
the blower must work to the limit,
that is to sa make the amount Of glass
For double-thick place glass he will pay 81 10
per box, equal to $5lz in wages per month; for
second and third double place, ~ box, equal
to $40 per month, and for small double thick
81 so per box. equal to $3.50 per month.
Mr.. Chambers also agrees to run his factory
ten months each year.
The proposition seems to be very fair one,
but some of the members of the association be-
lieve there is a snake of some kind in IL. as they
may not be able to make the glass allowed by
the tank furnace The matter will be thorough
ly discussed, and the Wage Committee will re-
ceive their instructions to prepare a scale for
presentation to the manufacturers governing
the wages in pot furnaces.
