CORRESPONDENCE
RELATIVE TO
FURNISHINGS OF
MORRELL HOSPITAL

Editor Telegram:-W wish to cor
rect a little error which you made
in your paper yesterday. That is in re-
gard to the furniture for the Morreil
Memorial Hospital. As stated that the
local firm bid $S25 is mistake. we
we're the only local firm, so far as we
know that bid on this furniture and
our bid was ss13:32 or about $1,000
more than the Tampa firm. Our I'M
sderstanding of the matter was also
| that the bid had been let previous te
this time as you state, or at least DR.
Sullivan advised me SO.
Thanking you to make this correc
ton in your issue of May 10th. W.
beg to remain. Very COURTHOUSE!

FINE Music FURNISHED
BY BOYS BAND OF
| SEMINOLE HEIGHTS

There is nothing which adds so
much to any gathering as good mu-
sic. and this was furnished the South
Florida Chamber of Commerce today
by the Boys Band of Seminole
Heights, Tampa, who came up and
gave their talents free of all cost to
Lakeland and the Association.
The band is composed of twelve
boys, between the ages of IL and a.
and when there ages are taken into
consideration and the fact that they
have had only eight months practice
their work can be considered marVe
lous. Their leader and director, Er
vim Caho&, accompanied them to Lake
land and was warmly congratulated
on the efforts of his boys, their music
adding much to the pleasure of the
large gathering.

Letter From Those Who Placed the
Order
To the Public:
BY A. c. Mckay.

To the Public: :
To correct a misunderstanding in
connection with the placing of an or
der by the Committee on Hospital
Furnishing, the following facts are
given to the public.
Holding in mind our aim to place
ORDERS where city would get best val
Iues. we compared bids of seven diner
lent concerns handling hospital furni-
ture. With most Of these we had SUB
seuuent communications by letter ana
wire so as to get the lowest possible
nrices from each. We asked for bids
from three of the leading furniture
, dealers of Lakeland.
Finding that bid of local furniture
dealer was too high for consideration
on many important items, we phoned
u for representative to come to our
. office We showed him specifications,
I cuts of the furniture and where posi-
q bile catalogue number upon which the
IS successful bidder based his prices. we
/, did all in our power to put our home
II merchant on the inside. excepting to
IS show him the actual figures of other
r, bidders.
in According to our Interpretation oil
Id specifications and cuts shown. we
be Judged that none of the items listed
to by competitive bidders were inferior
at land that some we're superior, to those
ID listed by local company.
lis On beds and springs, we had bet
On liter price from factory in Cincinnati
than that made by the local bidder.
an Taking under consideration the fac'
: that Judging from specifications, GU
only means of judging) none of fur
1iture of successful bidder was infe
ior, that some was superior; and col
NV sidering the fact that two dealers III
der bid local dealer on beds an
est springs, we felt impelled to place
MS der as we did.
'na We will need every dollar appropl
is lated by city as we'll as that donated

'de, ave need to save dollar whenev
red possible. as funds for equipment a
