Detroit Industrial Association

Following q recommendation Of its
committee on janitors and supplies
the Board of Education, Thursday
night. rescinded the contract by which
the Alpha Chemical Co. was to furnish
liquid soap to the public schools dur
ing the current year. and authorized
the secretary to ask for new bids.
This action Is sequel to a vigorous
fight waged by unsuccessful bidders
for the contract. who charged that
more than $500 had been wasted by
failure to accept the lowest bid.
The bid Of the Alpha Chemical Co..
which was one among dozen, rang
Ing from 42 cents 70 q dollar per gal
lon. WAS 68 cents per gallon In barrel
lots, and 73 cents In half barrel lots.
The reason given by the committee
for asking that the agreement be re

Some Of the objections ofIered by
the dissatisfied bidders were that the
Alpha Chemical CO. was merely IN a.

T Mason operated. and that he Was
neither q manufacturer or jobber,
and. furthermore, that the committee
had let the contract without q chem
ical or other conclusive tests of the
different samples Of suxps uffgred,-
The committee members said that
they had merely picked out q medium
priced sample In the hope Of avoiding
both cheap and fancy grades. The
protests resulted, however, In q chem.
ical analysis OF all the samples. and
In this DR.. Mas0n's and the one cost
ing dollar gallons were declared the
best.
Application was made to the board,
Thursday night, by the Detroit Indus
trial association for permission to
use the schools in the vicinity Of the
Neighborhood home, at Porter and

teract the evil effects of lurid moving
