Vt is Of local interest to know that
Haworth was born and raised in
Wayne county. When twenty-five
years old he moved to Vermilion
county, Illinois, and in the early fif-
ties formed an acquaintance with Lin

friendship. In electioneerfng for his
chief, Haworth became known as "the

instrumental in effecting Republican
organization In his part of the state,

Representatives of Two Elec-
trio Companies Charge Un-
fair Treatment By City o.
ficials.
STATE THAT RIVAL
is BEING FAVORED
City Officers Stoutly Deny
Allegation That the Light
Plant Contract Was Given
Before Bids.

Summoning a newspaper reporter
to their room in the Westcott hotel
this afternoon, G. r. Dilliland of the
Westinghouse Electric company, and
r. c. Steuve of the Allis, Chalmers
Electric company, angerly announced
that their companies had been "froz-
en- out" of the bidding on the engines
and generators for the new municipal
light plant addition, and further
charged that the city officials three
weeks ago had reached a decision to
give the contract to the General Elec-
trio company, although the bids Of
the various companies were not open
ed until today.
City officials are very indignant ov-
er these charges and emphattcally
state that the allegations are false
and no contract will be let until a
thorough examination has been made
of all the bids entered.
The Largest Companies.
The three companies involved are
the only big electric manufacturing
companies in the United States. These
companies bid on all the large con-
tracts in the country and thus claim
knowledge of each others prices.
Mr.. Dilliland and Mr.. Stueve admit
that the General Electric company
usually quotes lower price than eth
er the Allis, Chalmer or the Westing-
house companies. They claim, howev-
er, that the bid presented to the city
today by the General Electric is $4,000
higher than the Allis Chalmers bid and
about $4,000 higher than the Westing-
house bid, for the same equipment.
Its a lie." said Nimrod Johnson,
superintendent Of the City Light tlant,
when told Of the charges. The whole
thin, is lie and there is nothing in
the report that the city officials decid
ed to give the contract to the General
Electric people three weeks ago. The
meeting at which the contract is
awarded will be open to everyone sx-
cept the bidders and the contract will
be given on it's merit" he stated. 9th
er city officials stoutly denied the
charges.

BIDS RECEIVED.

Sixteen bids for equipment required
in the improvement of the city light
plant, were received by the board of
works this morning. AT 10 o'clock the
bids were opened and read to the
board. A special meeting was called
for the afternoon to make detailed
examination of the specifications in
the bids 1t will be three or four days
before all of the contracts are award
ed.
Bids were presented on new stack,
stokers, boilers, engines, generators
and exciters. The city's specifications
did not state specifically the material
wanted thus giving variety of equip
ment upon which bids were received.
Each bidding company had represen-
tative at the meeting.
Four bids were received for the
stack
But two bids were presented for the
stokers, the bidders being the Amer1-
can Engineer company and the Jones
Underfeed Stoker company.
The three bids for the boilers were
close The lowest bid was presented
by the Babcock and Wilcox company,
which agrees to install the boilers for
s11,569. The bids of the e. Keeler
company and the Heine Safety Boiler
company were s12,267 and $12,475 re-
spectively. 6
The bids for the engine contracts
were more numerous than for any of
the other equipment. Two engines
will be purchased. One of them is
large engine and the other is smaller
and will be used for relief work. The
Hooven, Owens & Rentschler company
bid $14,250 for the larger engine and
$2.364 for the smaller. The Provi-
dence Engine Works bid $15,215 and
s2,S5o on the large and small engines
respectively The Nordburg company
who presented the lowest bid asked
s2.150 for the small engine and S1O,9S5
for the large engine.
A bid of $4,000 was presented by
the Vilter Manufacturing company,
which includes both engines in the
bid. The AIlis Chalmers company bid
S23,3o0 including the two engines and
the generators. There were two bids
for the exciters. That of the West
inghouse Electric company was
/ S7,695. The General Electric COM
pany bid s10,025 for the exciters and
| he generators.
! The board reserved the right to re-
.ect any or all of the bids. This
aeans that the board may choose the
e9uipment which they think will be
he most serviceable, regardless OF the
amount OF the bid.
