certificates were handsomely engrossed and

the firemen thanked each one Of them for
his interest in the welfare of the depart

took occasion to express their regret that
Mr.. Dutton was SO soon to leave the de-

lands work for the department. and told
him how much the men appreciated it. Mr..
Macfarland is the Commissioner who has
personal supervision of the fire department,
and during his term of office has done much
to benefit the department. The callers ex-
pressed the hope that he would remain for
a second term. Foremen Brown and Mich
olson took advantage of the occasion to ex-
press formally their thanks to Chief Engi-
neer Dutton, although this feature of the
program was utterly unexpected. They de-
clared that as much as the Commissioners

Treasury Department clerks are busy to-
day tabulating the bids received yester-
day afternoon for furnishing supplies for
the department for the next fiscal year.
Committees will pass upon the bids and
award the contracts, which before they
become binding are passed upon by gen

Among the largest items at the Treasury
Department during a fiscal year are ice and
fuel. The principal thing in the last item
is coal. At the same time last year con-
tracts for supplying coal were let to bid
ders for the present fiscal year, but when
the coal supply was running so low the
contracts did not cut much figure and the
department had to secure coal as best it
could. 1t was stated then that the con-
tracts in few instances had been unkept
to such an extent that the treasury would
retaliate upon some of those who had
failed by refusing to accord contracts for
this year. The Treasury Department cir
cuIars call for bids on 10000 tons of btu
minous coal during the next fiscal year.
The bids as follows New River
Smokeless Coal Company, $4.1O per ton;
Machen Bros, $4.34 for Georges creek and
1896 for Somerset; Charles Werner, 1920;
