Department this morning the flames
which started at $40 o'clock in Simon

with dry, well-seasoned wood. which
burned quickly, but energetic work kept
the flames under control.

building, discovered the flames in the

sent out an alarm. When the tiremen
responded the fire had crept up an air
shaft into the rooms occupied by Au-
Gustus Frank, a woodturner.
A line of hose was quickly run up the
stairs within the building. while a sec

On either side of the building are tall

was at an hour when almost everybody
was up and about. Few people left the

IS DODGE TO GET IT?
Andrews's Refusal to Open Bids
Angers Other Contractors
They Say It Is a Scheme to Shut Out
All Fair Competition.
Paper-Chasing a Specification for
Trimming Scows.

The refusal of STRENGTHENING Com
missioner William 8. Andrews yesterday
TO receive and open bids for trimming
the city scows has caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the dozen or more
contractors who hoped to capture what
is generally regarded as one of the rich
est prizes In the Department Already
statements are being made that the
Commissioners refusal was in the in
terest of one of his henchmen, and that
the new specifications have been made
out so that only one individual can
possibly hope to bid for the work.
At present the work of trimming the
scows is performed by Edmund Dodge,
who seems to have remarkable in
fiuence in the Department. He has been
doing the work since the early part of
last Winter on an agreement from week
to week. He found scow trimming so
profitable that he was able to pay the
city 1880 a month for the privilege.
Dodge is the same man whose employ
ment of extra laborers for Commits
sioner Andrews during the Winters
snowfall caused so much unpleasant
talk. For every extra laborer the city
paid $3.50 per day. but the men whom
Dodge hired through the padrone sys-
TEN only got a dollar or a little over.
Dodge might have had the scow-trim-
ming contract for years had not some
of the other contractors protested They
pointed out to the Commissioner that
the scow-trimming was worth much
more than the amount paid by Dodge.
and that, in fact. by the retention OF
the latter the city was losing from $500
to 81 900 per week.
Commissioner Andrews put the matter
off apparently as long as he could, but
on May 10 he advertised for proposals.
The date fixed for the opening of the
bids was yesterday, and the hour l.
o'clock, noon.
over score of bidders were on hand.
and. although scarcely any of them had
seen the specifications. they knew in II
came with their written offers in their
pockets. The Commissioner had stated
that the specifications could be seen at
his ONCE. but as a matter of fact, few
were allowed to inspect them.
whether or not Commissioner Andrews
was afraid his friend Dodge would lose
the contract, certain it is that at the
the opening of the bids. To the waiting
contractors he said that new specifica-
tions would be made out for the scow
according to the new specifications, would
not be opened until June ~.
The new specifications called for made
the contractors fairly weep. They provid-
ed, among other things. that contractors
must keep the water of the bay clear of
paper and other articles. In other words,
II is practically insisted upon that when
ever the wind happens to blow a quantity
Of stun from the scows while on. their
way to the dumping ground boats
crew must get out and chase II.
That at least was the construction

anybody else. but everybody knows how
such things are arranged. In the first

brighten off the other bidders. II Dodge

supplied Dodge with nearly all of his
extra men last Winter, and high
official of the STRENGTHENING Depart
ment, were seen at Riccadonna's res

Square. in close confab. Next day at
noon new specifications for the scow-
contract were called for. Mr..
Dodge was not present, nor was there
any bid from him on the first specitica-
tions.
Meanwhile the city is losing between
$500 and $1,000 per week. What does II
all mean?
