Women Bargain I Hunters Outdone
By the County's Buyers
Purchasing Committee of Freehoders Save Seventeen Hun
dred Thousandths of Cent Pound of Sal Soda.
BY DUKE WELLINGTON

Doubtless you have heard of per-
sons who will walk six, eight or even
a dozen blocks to a grocery store and
thereby save a quarter of a cent a
pound on sugar or half a cent pound
on butter. Women especially are
prone to such bargain hunting, and,
whiIe some persons are disposed to
laugh at that sort and call them
penurious, the majority, though they
may not seek the bargains them
selves, praise the other women for so
doing.
Well, when it comes to bargain
hunting, the purchasing committee of
the Essex County Board of Free
holders has the most persistent bar
gain hunting woman beaten to a fraz-
zle, and does not have to chase all
over town looking for the bargains.
Instead the bargains are brought
right to the committee in the way of
sealed bids for the supplying of thou
sands of articles that are used in the
maintenance of the big county insti-
tutions-Essex County Hospital, at
Overlook; Isolation Hospital, at
Soho, and the county penitentiary, at
Caldwell.
All this is due to the system OF
the. county q couple of years ago,
after Director Walter A. Evans and
Richard F. Malta, of the board, had
fought for many months to have the
system put into effect. Even the
most ardent bargain hunter never
had a chance to feel elated over
saving .60017 of cent a pound on
any article.
That is exactly what the county
does under the competitve-bid sys-
tenn, the article in this instance being
400 pounds of sal soda for one of the
county institutions. Five firms sub
mitted bids on this article, the figures
being as follows, per pound: .0066,
.00677, .006S4, .0073 and .00S, eight mills,
or four-fifths of a cent, per pound
being the highest bid.
From those figures 1t can be seen
that the lowest bid is 0066. as against
.0O677, the second lowest bid, or a diff
ference of .00017 of a cent. Pretty
close bidding, when you come to
figure it out, isn't 1t, and, of course,
the county is the one that benefits.
When the bids for six months
county supplies were opened Wednes-
day fifty-two firms, most of them
local concerns, submitted bids. These
concerns bid on 122 articles for use
at the Overlook Hospital, 259 for
Soho and 80 for the Caldwell peniten-
tiary. Besides this, bids were re-
ceived for all the printed matter
and stationery that will be needed by
the county institutions and offices for
the next six months.
You must not understand that all
of the fifty-two firms bid on all of
the articles needed at the different
institutions. Not at all, as some of
the firms submitted bids on but a
single article, while others picked two
or three specialties and submitted
bids on them.
AS q matter of fact, the bids COW
cred almost every conceivable sort of
article The Overlook specifications
called for meats, provisions and poul-
try in one section, groceries In an
