PARK BOARD
 CHARGED WITH
 DISCRIMINATION Florists Complain Because They Are Not Permitted to Compete When Plants Are Purchased.

Local florists complain that the Park Board recently let contract for some $500 worth of plants to Beach, the florist, without bidding, and without competition.
 Complaint was made to Mayor Wilson by one of the florists who was not considered in the bidding. He says that the Mayor told him that the Park Board does not come under the authority of the Board of Con- tract and Supply.
 When asked about the matter Supt. Charles E. Keith, in charge, of the parks, said that the plants had been ordered in small lots, valued at from $26 to $35 each, and that in no case had an order been given which would bring the transaction under the provision of the charter which requires contracts to be let to bid.
 Rival florists said they do not claim violation of; the charter, but injustice to the city and to dealers not favored. by failure to open the business to competition and to get the best price.
