An UN WEARIED FIGHTER.
Ex-Mayor Gleason, of Long Island
City, Still Opposing that Hose Bill.

CIty, SClll opposing tnat Hose 81 /.
LONG ISLAND CITY, L. l., Sept. N.-
George w. Stephens, counsel for ex-
Mayor Gleason, this morning served an
injunction on Mayor Sanford and City
Treasurer Bleckwenn restraining them
from paying the claim of the Peerless
Rubber Company, of New York, of 81. $50
for $500 feet of fire hose furnished the
Fire Department in August, 1883.
Ex-Mayor Gleason In his affidavit on
which the injunction was granted stated
that the Court OF Appeals had decided
that the bill was Illegal. While Gleason
was Mayor he vetoed the bill on the
ground that the contract had been un-
justly awarded to the Peerless Com
pany.
According to Gleason. there were five
bids offered, and the lowest bidder was
the Trenton Rubber Company, of New
Jersey. Although the Peerless Company
was the highest bidder, the contract was
awarded to It by the Common Council.
This was done, the ex-Mayor claims,
because Alderman Winan's brother was
President of the Peerless Rubber Com
pany. Alderman Winan Is now Presi-
dent of the same Company.
After Mayor Gleason went out of Of
flee his successor. Mayor Sanford caused
a bill to be passed by the Legislature
authorizing the payment of all legal
back claims against the city. The bill
OF the Peerless Rubber Company was
expected to be paid under this new act
Of the Legislature.
