posing it opportunity to be heard YER
baIly that the Commissioners today de-
cided to give public hearing on the matter

Mr.. W. S. Knox, president OF the Business
Mems Ass ociation, and Messrs. Frank Ray
mond and Conrad II. Syme of that organ
ization today called upon Capt. Beach, the
District Engineer Commissioner. in COM
pany with Mr.. Lawrence Nicolai. for the
purpose of discussing the specifications I'M
der which proposals for naphtha lighting
during the coming fiscal year must be sub
mitted. Mr.. Syme acted spokesman for
the party, and explained to Capt. Bea Oh
that Mr.. Nicolai feels that the specifica-
tions favor the present contractor, the
Pennsylvania Globe Company, and that
they are not conducive to free competition.
In the discussion which followed Capt.
Beach explained that he proposes that
hereafter the District, and not the con-
tractor. shall own the lamps used for
naphtha lighting, and that he therefore
directed that the specificat tons be so drawn
as to provide for municipal ownership of
the lamps after the LIST of July. He pointed
out th1t the specifications provide for sep
arate bids for furnishing the lamps and for
lighting tkem. 1t is true, he stated that
the present contractor owns the lamps
which is cue to course adopted by his
predecessors but that fact, Capt Beach ex-
planned, will not be permitted to give the
contractor any undue advantage over other
bidders. If Mr.. Nicolai bids only for the
lighting he will not, Capt Beach said. be
