CITY WINS PUMP SUIT
Injunction Restraining St. Louis
Electrical Supply Company
Made Permanent.
Will Not Be Permitted to Install
the Van Wye Pumps Ship
ped Here.
Judge Caswell Holds the Pumps
Are Not In Compliance OF
the Contract.

The city today won out in it's contro-
versy with the ST Louis Electrical Sup
Fly Company over the pumps con-
tracted for the sewage disposal plant,
and the temporary injunction restrain
ing the company from installing the
two Van Wye pumps was made per-
manent.
The hearing came on before Judge
Caswell Thursday and was concluded
at noon today, when the court rendered
lis opinion after the case had been ar
gued at length. The controversy has
extended over several months, or since
the time the st. Louis Company
shipped the pumps to this city. The
city council, in Its contract with the
company, which is installing the cleo
trio power plant for the sewage dispo-
sal plant. contracted for two Morris
pumps. on the recommendation of the
engineers employed in connection with
the work. The pumps are more expen-
sive than those of other makes. The
ST. Louis cHnpany shipped two Van
Wye pumps 10 the city and would have
installed them had not the sewage
plant committee discovered the dis
crepancy. The company, however,
claimed for the Van Wye pumps that
they We're just as good, and in sossle re-
spects better, than. the Morris pumps,
that they would do the work required
and that they were u substantial COM
pliance with the contract. y tempora-
ny injunction was secured by the city,
however restraining their installation.
and the case came on for final hearing
Thursday.
The question hinged on the one point
as to whether or not the company had
complied with its contract, and after
much evidence had been introduced
and the case argued at length. Judge
Caswell held that 1t had not done so
and therefore made the injunction per-
