ASPHALT PAVING BIDS
SHOW PRICE INCREASE
City Receives More Than $780,
900 Worth Yesterday; to
Purchase Fire Truck.

II was bid reception day at the
meeting Of the city commissioners
yesterday morning and more than
100000 worth of bids were received
by the city commissioners on what
will be, when let, one of the largest
pieces Of paving construction ever let
by a city in this ctate.
Nor was the bids received on the
paving all OF the offers OF service
made the city. The city conup.ssion-
ers AT the same time opened Lids for
the purchase of several thousand feet
of fire hose and for the purchase of
a water tower and other fire equip
ment, including a chemical engine.
In one instance a bid of more than
s22, 900 was received from a concern
which manufactures a 190-horsepower
pump automobile.
In all OF these instances the bids
were referred to the city engineer for
a compilation and report and In the
case OF the fire equipment the chief
of fire department, r. Alder. was
placed on the special committee to
judge which contract was the cheap
est and best for the city in the pur-
chase of equipment for his depart
ment.
1t is probable that the awarding OF
the Contract for the fire equipment
will occur on next Friday, but IL will
likely take at least a week for the en-
gineer's force to complete the compila-
ton and report on the several bids
presented forN the pavement
One noticeable feature of yesterdays
bids on the laying of asphalt pave
ment was the fact that within the past
few months the price of such mate
rial has advanced. If the bids are to
be taken as a guide. In the past where
the city has been able TO secure bid
of S1.75 for such material figured on
the basis OF a square yard, the bids
presented yesterday ranged around
$1.S3 and $lSs per square yard.

passing ship is the receiving set OF
two small iron tanks filled with water,
one on each side of the ship below the
water line. In each is a microphOne,
electrically connected with an indica-
tor box In the ships pilot house. The
bell sound coming through the water
passes through the skin of the ship, en-
tiers the water in the iron tank and is
picked up by the miCrophOne. 1t then
enters the indicator box, which has
two telephone receivers. Switches in
the Indicator box allow the operator to
listen To the sound picked up by the
port and starhoard micrOphOnes. BY
the lOudneSS of the tone the operator
can tell on which Sile of the ship the
warning bell is ringing. The ship is
swung in that direction, and when the
sound is heard equally on both sides,
he knows that the ship is pointing
toward the bell.

The greatest of all methods 10y which
ships talk Ia each other. or Ia shore
stations, is that of the wireless telc.
graph. The navy calls ii the radio
because the energy is radiatcd or sent
out into space. and the messages are
radiogramS. Nowadays with the radio
communication, vessels several hun
dred miles apart can talk with greater
ease than the old frigatcS could lying
in the same harbor. Every day the
SHIPS M sea get their radiogramS of
the worlds news. and those giving the
baseball and football scores are cir.
culated through the ships with great
enthusiasm. To make this wonderful
communication, not only every ship in
the navy has its wireless, but the navy
has stations along the coast to receive
ana transmit orders and messages.
King of all the wireless in the navy
is the great station at Radio. Waits
twin wireless towers within sight of
the navy department-that flashes its
messages To ships 1900 miles our nj
sea. Night is more favOrable for wire
less than daytime, for then messages
are sometimes sent double the distance.
The distance varies with conditions,
some of which the experts cannot ey-
plain. but the power of the instrument
and the height of the mast or tower
supporting the aerials are great helps
for distance.
With all this wealth of talk by flag
and light, by wireless and rocket, by
whistle and Semaphore. the ships are
not content. They must have signals
