committee could see practically no differ
ence in the goods shown by the New
York Betting company and the Chicago
Fire Hose company and were inclined
towards the latter firm. as their goods
had been in service here and had given
excellent satisfaction, but as their terms
were strictly cash in four months, and the
New York Betting company made such
liberal terms as quoted here-s5O0 10 be
paid IN eighteen months and $500 TO be
paid in thirtysix months, without inter
est-t{le committee felt that the city took
no risk as the hose would have been in
service three years before the last pay
ment Of $500 became due, and the COM
pany furnishing the hose would be COM
PEELED under the terms Of payment to fur
nish superior quality of goods, and upon
these terms the contract was awarded to
