sion that he was prejudiced against Mrs.

he did not care particularly one way or
the other.

The Argus yesterday renewed the attack
on the committee on fire department and
the board Of engineer because they made
the contract with the American Fire
Hose Company for the hose lately ordered
by the City Government. The Argus
charges that the department has had 1000
feet OF Callahan hose in use for two years
and that it gives excellent satisfaction; that
the Callahan hose can be mended as
easily as the American that the Callahan
hose dries and packs as we'll as any other
hose, and that more American Fire Hose
Company's hose was spoiled than any other,
at the Browns wharf fire. The Argus also
insinuates that Chief Cloyes gave his in
fuence in favor of awarding the contract to
the American Company in consideration of a
gold badge alleged to have been presented
him by that company.
Chief Cloyes says there is no Callahan
hose in the department and never has been;
that no other company's hose can be knit,
after breaking, by the same process as is
employed by Mr. Skillings, without violating
patents belonging to the American Company
and laying the city open to damages; that
-> ~SsNSeAA why inOlC VI VIC dultIl-
can hose burst at the late fire than
any other kind, was because there are 1900
feet OF American hose in the department to
1000 of all other kinds, or three times as
much TO burst; ana that the American Hose
Company is in Chelsea, and the badge was
presented him by Boston friends.
Mr. Charles Skilllngs, the member of the
hose. said that when he told the Argus
reporter that there were 1000 feet of Gala
han hose in the department he was mis-
taken The hose he thought was Callahan
is Eureka Hose Company manufacture, and
there is no Callahan hose in the depart
ment This Eureka hose can be mended-
all hose can be mended-but with much
greater difficulty than the American because
the needles must be put through under the
thread; then again the American has only
to have piece of rubber put under the
break and the threads knit over it, while
other hose has to have big piece of brass
put under the break, and the hose mended
over 1t making clumsy lot of hose to use.
If other hose is badly cut, the cut place
must be cut out, and the links Joined by
couplings. He, and all the engineers, con-
sidered the American was the most econom-
ical at double the price.
