Concerns Bid on Sewer Pipe.
There is apt to be fight in Council over
the kind of pipe it will be necessary to
specify TO complete the house drainage.
Evidently some of the aldermen think
there should be more competition, and not
incline alone TO the Ohio river pipe.
The Ohio river pipe was last recon-
mended by Col. George e. Warning, and
some of the aldermen have reason for be-
lieving a strong effort will be made to have
il again specified in the contract TO the
exclusion of ALL other manufacturers. The
argument against buying this pipe eX-
clusvely, which is sold by a number of
Ohio companies, is that the city loses
what might be gained by a free and open
competition. An effort will be made to
have all manufacturers given a chance.
