LOWEST BIDDERS IGNORED.
They Wanted a Contract at $449
Which Was Let for 1926.
Blame Put on Supervisor Fitchie's
Clerk, McGinness.

Supervisor-at-Lar geThomas Fitchie,
of Kings County, this morning began
an inquiry into the granting of a con-
tract by the Board of Supervisors to
Thomas Neary for repairs In the Sher-
IFS office. when the bid of Taylor &
Sons was the lowest.
Mr.. Fitchie found that Neary bid
1926 and Taylor g. Sons bid S449 for the
same work. There were two other
bids. one for 1925 and another for 81. 200.
Martin Taylor. a member o fthe firm
whose bid was the lowest, told Mr..
Fitchie to-day that in submitting his
bid he had figured on profit of $50.
Mr.. Fitchie learned that his clerk.
John >J. McGinness. was responsible for
the awarding fthe contract. as he
is said to have made certain misrepre-
sentations to the Committee on Con-
tracts regarding Taylor & Sons.
A Democratic member of the Board
called on Mr.. Fitchie this morning, and
said that unless the resolution granting
Neary the contract was vetoed an in
yestigation would be called for by the
Board.
McGinness, the Democratic member
stated, was influencing committees in
favor of his friends and had already
taken too much interest In the granting
OF contracts.

test OF Herr Doves bullet-proof coat

low DOVE did not appear to feel the
shock perceptibly, Then the cuirass
was suspended against a sheet Of plate
glass and peppered all over. ten shots
being fired.
The glass was hardly shaken. A

says he then examined the cuirass and
found holes in II. but no trace OF
splashes. He saw that the cuirass was
bent both longitudinally and across.

touched metal OF any kind. They ap-
peared precisely like the button OF a
