Recommends After Investigation
That All Bids Be Rejected and
That Vacuum Cleaners Be Put
To Six Months Test.
Award Which Ignored the ''Tuec,"
Proved Best and Cheapest,
Is Held Up.

After a hearing that consumed near
ly two hours, Mayor Thompson, We'd
nesday morning, vetoed the contracts
awarded by the board OF education at
its last meeting for the purchase OF
vacuum cleaners, involving an ex-
expenditure of about 10000

urge that the bids heretofore received
all be rejected and that the board
readyertise fr sweepers under new
specifications calling for six
months trial of each machine quail
fed TO enter, before It's purchase.
This Is an important matter" said
his honor. These are not the only
machines the city Is going to buy.
The sweep concern that makes the
best showing undoubtedly Will do q
large amount of business with the
board OF education in the next few
years. and 1t is only fair to give all
the companies that come up to the
specifications an equal chance
The mayors action Is In the nature
Of victory for the United Electric

known as the "Tuec," was turned
down by the board in spite of the fact
that II scored highest in the tests
made by the committee OF experts
called in by the boards engineers,
zimmerman. McColl and Anderson,
and a spite OF the further fact that II
offered to sell the board nine clean
ers at a saving of $2.174 over the
price the board voted to pay for nine
other two-sweeper machines. OF
these nine, eight were to be OF the
Richmond" type, manufactured by
the McCrum-Howell Co., of New York,
and one "Invincible," manufactured
by the Electric Renoyator Co.. which
did not compete in the tests at all.
One OF the features of the hearing
was Inspector Burton's explanation OF
the boards purchase of the ''Invincl-
BILE" about which the mayor question
ed him closely.
we had a little money left after
awarding the other contracts and
thought we'd give 1t trial, although
