Purchasing Supplies for state.
The state Board OF Purchase and Sup
plies began its regular quarterly meeting
this morning to buy supplies for the state
institutions for the coming quarter Sam
pies OF clothing. shirts, canned goods
coffee, tea and everything else used in the
home are on exhibition in the senate cham
Der and the board is inspecting the SAM
pies and the prices attached. The meeting
Is open to the public. contractors and all
alike and will last until tomorrow night.
superintendent Alden of the Norfolk
asylum, Commander Presson of the Mil
ford Soldiers home, Commander Askwith
OF the Grand Island Soldiers home, and
Superintendent Hayward Of the Kearney
Industrial school are in attendance.
No attention will be paid to the bids on
coal, as most of the institutions have
enough on hand to last several months.
This was bought recently at a price a
little in excess of the contract price. The
bids are all for western coal and were
slightly higher than heretofore.
Askwith Says Board Did Right.
Commander Askwith OF the Soldiers
home at Grand Island, who is here at
tending a meeting of the Board of Pur-
chase and Supplies, said the board did
right in adopting a rule not to buy new
uniforms for members of the home when
they desired to go away on a furlough
with the possible exception of West
Virginia." said Mr.. Askwith, mo state in
the union except Nebraska allows the
members Of the Soldiers home to wear
their uniforms when not at the home
This rule, adopted by the Board of Public
Lands and Buildings, will cut little figure
though, as will be compelled to buy an
old soldier clothes whenever he needs
them and shall do so. The board should
have said the soldiers must not wear uni
forms except while in the home.
at has frequently been the practice for
some Of the old soldiers to enter the home
and as soon as they get supply Of clothes
they leave and remain away until they
need more clothes. The government gives
us 500 year for each old soldier and
this is paid according to the time the
soldier is in the home.
LAS a matter of fact the old soldier
should not wear his uniform when not in
the home. Brass buttons and a blue uni
form always attract lots of attention and
should an old soldier, while away from
the home, wearing his uniform, get drunk
il reflects on all the old soldiers. II Is
true, however, there is small per cent
Of. drunkards among the old soldiers as
there is among any other body of men. We
have about 400 members of the home and
there is less drunkards or drinking men
in that number than in any community OF
400 Inhabitants"
