WARRING FIRMS MAY
LEOPARD COUNTY FUND
Successful Bidder for Hall of Rec
ords Vault Is Opposed
by Loser

That the county's money, amounting
to millions of dollars, will be without
protection for some time after the coun-
ty treasurers office is moved into the
new hall Of records is the belief of the
American Bank Protection company,
one of the many bidders for the install
lation of a burglar-proof safe in the
new office, whose bids were rejected
yesterday by the board OF supervisors
when the Safe Vault Protection COM
pany, a Los Angeles concern, was
awarded the contract.
1t is declared by w. D. Hammond,
Pacific coast agent of the American
Bank Protection company, and Thomas
K. Kase, its attorney, that their COM
pany will restrain the Safe Vault Pro-
lection company from entering into its
contract with the county on the ground
that it has infringed upon the patents
of their company. A telegram was read
to the board of supervisors from their
company's attorneys in the east, de-
olaring their patents had been in
fringed upon by the company awarded
the contract, and that they would be-
gin suit Immediately. on the other
hand, the Safe Vault Protection COM
pany declares the rival firm has taken
this means of endeavoring to bluff
them out Of securing the contract.
The representatives of the American
Bank Protection company charged the
other company with altering its speci-
fications and system during the last
two weeks for the purpose of avoiding
an infringement on their patent, and
that their specifications were not filed
with the board until yesterday 1t was
discovered that the specifications of
the two companies were filed at the
same time, when their bids were made.
The contract price of the Safe Vault
Protection company is $4975, and the
bid of the American Bank Protection
company was S4980. Both companies
declare there is no profit in the con-
tract, and that the only object in Sc
curing the job is the prestige which it
will bring to the company.

the opening of Eighth street were sus-
tained by the city council and the
board of public works instructed to
make a new assessment after the plan
that has never before been used in
such work.
The instructions of the council are
that the assessment on side streets re-
main as it is now, that lots fronting
on Eighth street be assessed the same
amount as the allowance for land ta-
ken and that the rest of the required
amount be raised by an equal front
foot assessment on the land fronting
on Eighth street.

close friends of Judge Lovett. includ-
ing prominent railway officials accom-
panying him on his trip, but personally
the judge refused to discuss the union
depot project, and as on the night of

to say to all who ask him, that LOS

pot, all right" but Is silent as a
sphinx concerning the union station.
The presidents of the railroads in
volved are expected to confer in the
matter some time within the next week

committee Is much encouraged as a re-
suit of conferences he has had with
Judge Lovett so far, and predicts that
the project Will meet with success, al
though delays are probable.
All arrangements have been made for
the reception to be rendered at
o'clock tonight by the chamber of
commerce, but as Judge Lovett has re-
quested that the reception be strictly
informal and that there be no set pro-
gram, no announcements of speech
making will be made.

ception committee, and Mayor Alex
