o. NJ. CONTRACT AWARDED.
NJ. A. Buttimer the Successful Bidder
mt SI3.S7G.9O.


The contract for cleansing vaults, sur
face drawers. pals and tubs and filling in
vaults where required, was awarded to NJ.
A. Buttlmer at the meeting of city coun-
Gil last night, as the lowest bidder.
After considering both the vault and
pain systems and securing bids on both,
the public health committee recommend
ed the continuance OF the present system,
commonly known as the o. E. NJ. depart
ment, both on account of the cost to the
property owners of making the change to
the pail system and the doubt whether it
would prove more satisfactory than the
present system.
Dr. w. W. Owens, chairman of the pub
lie health committee, presented the facts
and figures to council and explained the
question al length There were num-
Der of bidders for the contract under both
systems Under the pail system =. But
timer was the lowest bidder, with NJ. J.
OLeary second, NJ. A. Buttimer third, and
7. A. Pollard fourth.
Under the present system NJ. A Butti-
mer was the lowest bidder Patrick Butti-
mer second NJ. ]. O'Leary third and c.
A. McGrath, T. A. Pollard, Fawcett & Co.
and E. T. McAvoy following in the order
named
Several other bids were thrown out by
the committee because Of failure 10 bid ac-
cording to specifica tons and other bids
were so high that they were not consider
ed.
The bills We're made in detail as re-
qured. There are 2,53s small vaults, 1,l67
large vaults and 219 tubs, drawers and
pals to be cleaned, all of which are re-
qured TO be cleaned at specified times,
the vaults being cleaned only once a
year, except when required oftener for
sanitary reasons.
The estimates made by the committee |
of the annual cost of the city and property
owners by the different bids considered |
were as follows:
NJ. A. Buttimer, $13, $685.; Patricl% But |
timer, $l4709.20 NJ. J. OLeary, $i5,2S. 80; |
c. A McGrath, $l5.S9l.90; r. A Pollard, |
$l6,02050; Fawcett & Co.. $l6,0S650; E. Y. |
McAvoy. $17,731.75.
The recommendation of the committee |
that the present system be continued and |
the lowest bid accepted was adopted
Mr. Buttimer was enabled to make a |
very low bid for this work by reason of |
previous experience, having secured the |
O. E. NJ contract for four years during |
the second administration of Mayor Nc |
DonOugh.
On account of being decidedly out of |
harmony with the Myers administration, |
and for other reasons, he sold the con |
tract to the late J. w. Creekman. Since /

CHARITY FAIRS.
An Argument to Show why They shouid
he Suppressed.

Do SNPPN'astU
Charity has been defined as this
state Of things: That so soon as A is
in trouble b begins to consider what
c ought to do for him. All charitable
fairs, for instance, are based on this
principle. says Harpers Bazaar. You
go and buy something which you prob
ably do not want in order that the
profit made on II may go to some good
cause. In case you had really wanted
what you bought you would have per-
haps bought II somewhere else, and the
regular trade thus suffers from the loss
OF your custom. In case OF very large
fairs, like the sanitary fairs" in war
time, the ordinary local trade unques-
tionably suffers, perhaps for a whole
year, and the community is thus i'm
poverished TO a degree In one way so
that II may pc helped In other ways.
For a great national object this can
easily be endured, although, to be sure,
we never have known just what the
regular dealers thought about Il. But
when we consider that the same thing
Is done 10 some extent in behalf OF
every local or sectarian enterprise 1t
Is evident that the principle OF the af-
fair Is not quite satisfactory. Suppose,
for instance. that we were all to agree
for a single year to have all our shoes
and hats made by amateurs for sweet
charity's sake" and to have a single
church or hospital take the value OF
them. Then sweet charity would make
an apparent gain, no doubt, but all the
ordinary hatmakers and shoemakers
would starve. Or, II they did not
starve, they would be supported by
their kindred, who perhaps are not far
above the starvation point themselves,
or they would be supported by sweet
charity, and the last condition OF
things would be worse than the first.
Il is not really the fact that .hs evils
OF society can be greatly helped by
dressing up young girls prettily and
having them take money and give
rather inaccurate change at a bazaar
table. One day, perhaps, when the
laws OF trade are better understood,
we shall look at charity fairs as we
already look at lotteries. which were
once regarded as one OF the highest
forms OF sweet charity but which are
now prohibited by law.
