were supplied with the radiators shows that
they need no praise, the resolution, however,
gives the radiator an official endorsement by
this city, which neither your Board or l am
capable of giving, because we are not experts
in steam heating.
There are other radiators on the market
and the makers of the Bundy Radiators have
to meet competition in the steam heating of
private buildings, and they should not ask
the city to deprive itself OF the benefit of a
like competition. There is no one who
desires to encourage our local industries any
more than l do, but care must be taken by
me that the city's interest are protected, the
intent of your resolution is a good one in so
far as your Board is concerned, and the
makers of these radiators, but your resolu-
ton should provide that The Bundy Radia-
tor or its equivalent be used. There could
be no objection to such a resolution the pref
erence would be given to these radiators,
and no harm could be done to the city.
Very Respectfully,
PETER WANsER,
Mayor.
