ty-eight hours and forty-fve minutes

HOSE CONTRAST
FINALLY SETTLED
BOWERS COMPANY GETS THE
AWARD
WRANGLE IN CITY COUNCIL
Fight Over Meat Contract Fails to
Develop, Politicians Deciding
That Efforts Now Were
Useless

The awarding of the contract for
furnishing hose to the fire department
brought forth the usual wrangle in
the council yesterday. The supply COM
mittee recommended that the city pur-
chase the Victor Jacket brand made
by the Bowers Rubber company of
San Francisco and handled locally by
Harper e. Reynolds company The
now used by the department, was IS
cents per foot for 5000 feet.
For some time the councilmen wrest-
led with various brands and their
meanings, with tests, Innings, jacket
ing, linen, cotton and otherwise, and
DR.. Houghton at last introduced Vas
sar brand and openwork, though none
of this variety was displayed, on ac-
count of special order of the chair.
The council chamber was crowded
with representatives of various brands
and manufacturers of fire hose. Each
was anxious for an opportunity to eX-
plain how much better his particular
brand was than the other fellows, but
none of them had the opportunity to
utter a syllable.
Chairman Houghton of the supply
committee had the united support of
his committee and the majority of the
councilmen based their opinions on
the recommendations of the supply
committee. The issue looked doubt
full, however, until Councilman Kern
spoke in favor of adopting the report
of the committee despite the fact thai
he opposed the reference of the ques.
tion to that committee. He explained
his action by saying that the supply
committee had investigated the sub
ject and was in position to know
something about the subject in hand,
and he therefore moved the adoption
of the report and the awarding of the
contract to the Bowers Rubber COM
pany, which was done.
Meat Contract
The city's meat contract was also
contained in the report of the supply
committee and the expected fight over
this award did not materialize, much TO
the relief of the councilmen. H. A..
Grieve was the successful bidder and
he agreed to furnish short chuck beef
and mutton at $3.S5 per hundred
pounds and beef hearts at gents
each.
At the close of the committee meet
ing the hackers of the other bidders
decided to carry the fight in
to open council, but careful cam
vass probably disclosed the fact that
the present council is not making any
more contracts in the same class with
the political brick making scheme and
that the lowest responsible bider must
receive the contract. This probably
discouraged them from making the
fight for the contract in the open
council.
