purchasing department was found yes
terday when an examination was made
Of the score or more bids submitted by
city merchants for supplying the mu-
nicipality with the materials it will
need in the next four months.
Radical reductions were made almost
all along the line, the bidders trim
ming their prices, to practically the
cost figure, IL would seem. Feed and
fuel and oils Of various kinds, office
supplies, and long list of miscellane-
Gus items were bid on, and all at ap-
parently very low prices.
Supervisors Pleased
The supervisors are pleased with
the result, AZ they regard it as a
positive confirmation of their bunch -
that great economy could be realized
through opening such department.
The purchasing agent is now having q
tabulation made of all the bids, which
will be presented to the board Of su.
pervisors at its meeting on March 10.
As the ordinance fixing the duties of
the purchasing agent has not been in.
troduced yet, the supervisors will sit
as committee of the whole to award
the contracts, for the larger items, Mt
least, such as fuel oil, hay aud grain
and gasoline.
Savings In Supplies
Supervisor Hollinger wrote to the
California. league Of municipalities yes
terday asking for copies of ordinances
covering a purchasing department. The
supervisors voted to join this league
at their last meeting. The purpose OF
the league is to supply municipal Off
Gals with whatever information they
may wish along the lines Of city de
velopment. &l
One Of the supervisors stated yester
day that about $4,000 should be savet

item of expense as compared with
building materials and oils. He pointet

first two charges were stricken from
the calendar and Murasky was tried
on the charge of reckless driving. He
admitted he was technically guilty. He
said that the steering gear had gone
wrong and that he could not control
his machine, He claimed the tail light
was lighted, but said that as it was
early in the evening, he had not as
yet lighted the front lights.
A Japanese, Shukuka, testified that
he had been knocked down by Muir
asky's car and that the later came
back to where he had fallen. When
he found Shukuka was not seriously
hurt, Murasky jumped in his machine
and drove away. 1t was Murasky =

more than twelve miles an hour.
In reply to a question by Deputy
ChillingwOrth, Murasky denied that he
had been drinking or that he was in

that Murasky had laid himself open to
responsibility for violating the law and

Howard Price Armstrong, aged "a
years, Of No. ia West Twenty-fourth
street, superintendent of the Harris
Marine Engine Company, of this city,
was drowned in the Delaware Bay off
Liston's Point, eight miles above
Woodland Beach late Saturday night
night His father. Howard o. Arm
strong, aged 60 years, was badly burn
ed when a gasoline stove aboard the
launch Signet. owned by Mr. Arm
strong, Jr., exploded. Father and son
we're on a ducking trip down the Del
aware Bay at the time.
The father of the young man was
at the steering wheel of the launch
when the younger man started to fill
the gasoline stove. He was cautioned
about fire, and it is thought that the
stove being hot caused the oil to ex-
plOde, throwing the burning oil on
him. The father, hearing a faint cry
for help coming from the waters in
the rear Of the boat, saw his son
struggling in the water Attempt at
rescue failed. Mr.. Armstrong, Sr.,
then turned his attention to the fire
and. after using several fire extin-
guishers, the blaze was Quenched, but
not before his hands were burned al
most to the bone.
Although badly burned about the
face and head, Mr.. Armstrong, Sr..
steered the c. aft to the mouth OF the
Smyrna river, where he beached it,
Suffering eXcruciating pain, he walk
ed two miles through a marsh to a
farm house where he reported the
. drowning Of his son. and he was
driven nine miles TO Smyrna to a doc
tors Office for treatment.
Mr.. Armstrong was compelled to re-
3 main in the Clayton railroad station
from 10 o'clock Saturday night until
nearly 6 o'clock yesterday morning for
. a train. He was so eager to get home
that he insisted upon taking the first
train. Unfortunately. however. the
northbound Norfolk express was
nearly three hours late.
Mr.. Armstrong was resting easy at
his home here today but his injuries
are severe. Searching parties by auto
and motor boat went to points along
the Delaware Bay Sunday in an effort
TO find the body. but their work was in
vain. Young Mr.. Armstrong, who was
mechanical genius, had owned the
motor boat for several years. and.
with his father, had taken trips in
