ouao yOu fdSe ADVISED the council OF |
Welser TO get larger engine | hope
you Will not endeavor to require MIR.
White to furnish a more expensive engine
than the specifications call for regardless
OF what may be the work required TO be
DONE In other words, if any misake has
been made in specifying machinery not
capable of doing The work required, Mr.. |
White should not be arbritr atily required |
to pay for any such mistakes. Under |
stand, don't say this is the case, be-
cause don't know, although | have had |
persons advise, who claimed to know,
that they didn't believe that an engine
OF the dimensions given would raise this
water the twenty-four feet required.
have understood that Halide- Henshaw-
Buckley Co. furnished you specifications
OF the machinery ordered from them. (Of
course, this machinery was ordered sub
ject TO your approval, and by failing to
approve considerable delay is being
caused If they did, and all of the oLherl
machinery which was ordered from them
which was everything that was necessary
except the condenser, please advise me of
that fact immediately, and also advise
me whether Moore e. Co. will still fur
nish the engine as proposed in their letter
10 you of Jan. 10Th for the price named
that is, the engine which you 0 Kd at
at the price given. and if these things
can be done, | shall advise Mr.. White TO
get these orders IN so that everything
may be assembled at Spring field or Indian
apols and all of the manufacture of the
stuff moved along as rapidly as possible.
However, | wish If this engine proposed
to be furnished by Halide Henshaw
Bulkley Co. will meet the specifications
that you can see your way clear TO accept
1t.
am not writing this letter in order to
register any kick against any action oil
yours, as | think there has been too much
of that already, but at the price bid by
Mr.. White for this machinery, if we take
the machinery at such prices as you in
dcate, he cannot possibly get within the
price bid The lowest bid that we have
had on the machinery in the aggregate
delivered at WeiSer. outside of the con-
denser. at all is S5850.00. while Mr..
Whites brother bid for the boiler, engine,
pumps, condenser, boiler feed pump and
feed water heater aggregate S5OlO.
don't know whether he has ever told you
what the price is that he bid, or thai
YOU have paid any attention TO it, but
know that this is the aggregate for all OF
these things that | have specified, and
as have stated before, if he don't gel
the engine offered by Hallidie- Henshaw
Bulkley Co.. he can't get within the
prices. An early answer If possible
; please. very truly yours
W. f. BUTCHER.
P S. Please advise me if an Alta
= engine size larger than the one Offered
by Hallidie- HenshawBulkly Co. vii
meet with your approval, and also con
frm your letter TO Mr.. White that tn
machinery outside of the engine ordered
from them is satisfactory, al once, as
want to bring this matter of the machln
: ery up. also advise me if the condenser
; ordered by you at 1928 90 is complete
e |. like | am satisfied you do yoursel
D want this thing to move and move speed
{ ily. | want to take a trip this summe
l and can't 90 until this is done, conf1den
e TALLY am pushing White all car
e Have advised and am urging him to pus
