Ia response to a request from the Re

the following letter has been received
from ex-PresIdent Harrison by a min
lister Of the Gospel in this city:
I have received your letter % the

gress for legislation l have expressed
myself upon the subject IN a public ad-

THE BID REDUCED.
The Safety Board Brings the Came
well to Time.

The members of the Board of Safety
again wrestled with the Gamewell bid for
a new fire alarm system yesterday after
noon. The board hopes TO arrive at a de-
cision In the matter to-day and that de-
cision will not be an acceptance of the
bid, which calls for an expenditure of
$50, $40. Chairman Hyde was asked yester-
day afternoon II the bid. as submitted,
would be accepted, and answered in the
negative.
At another conference last night, it is
said, the board succeeded in inducing the
representatives of the company to make
more concessions which will reduce the cost
of the system. The representatives Of tht
company conferred with the main office OF
the Gamewell Company, and 1t is said tho
representatives told the officers that 3
contract cannot be made In indianapolis
according to the original bid. The officers
instructed their representatives, to MAKE
concessions, and at the conference las
night the bid was reduced TO a little over
$4,000 with an additional $500 for wire
which Will bring the total cost of the sys'
that remained in the agreement last nigh!
was the question of a guarantee on the
system. The Board of Safety wanted q
seven-year guarantee, while the represent
atives of the company only wanted to givs
a two-year guarantee. A compromise may
be reached to-day on a hve-year guaran'
tee. The board had the assistance of Mr.
Deeds, an expert electrician, in its con
ference with the Gamewell people.
