bids getting the lowest number of
votes be dropped.
Leonard suggested that the board
choose which type of boilers it pre-
ferred.
Davis moved that the board choose
water-tube boilers.
Tozer and Bentley opposed the mo-
tion, saying that the board might find
itself in position where it would not
like to be SO bound, as some of the
members might prefer to take a tubu-
lar boiler rather than take a certain
type of watertube boiler.
The motion was lost by a vote of 8
ayes to 6 noes.
Tozers motion for members to des-
ignate their choice was carried.
Wachhorst chose the Babcock & Will
COX boiler offered by Cunningham, Kent
favored Cunningham's tubular boiler,
Mckay and Davis agreed with Wach
horst, and Tozer favored the Heine
boiler, as did Leonard, and Devine ia
vored the Stirling boiler.
AS there was no vote another vo.e
was taken, Wachhorst, Davis, Mckay
and Bentley voted for Cunningham
Babcock & Wilcox, and the other five
fol the Heine boiler

for the Heine boiler, 20 the Risdon Iron
Works, and the motion was carried.
