Admiral McGoWan Shows
Aim of Naval Officials
to Keep Bidding Clean

That the Navy has insisted on pur-
chasing supplies from those only who
actually have the goods or are manu-
facturers in their respective lines. is
shown by the emphasis which Admiral
Samuel MCGOWAN, paymaster general OF
the Navy, has made in his annual re-
ports to Secretary Daniels since he has
been paymaster general. lie has refer
red to the practices by manufacturers
agents, who secure business from manu-
facturers on a commission or contingent
fee basis.
Ever since the war started every
effort has been made by officials in
the bureau of supplies and accounts
ito keep the records of the Navy clean.
and as a result of this activity no new
placed on the acceptable bidding list
who have not come within the law.
The Navy has welcomed manufac-
turers to bid on naval supplies direct.
The restrictive measures which have
been adopted by the Navy, by which
the most scruplous care is exercised
in placing the names of new firms on
the bidding list. has, it is believed
by Admiral MCGOWAN. prevented re
currence of the troubles of the civil
war and every endeavor has been
made to keep the records clear.
The Navy for some time past has
made it known that any responsible
contractor in the country can deal
directly with the Navy; there is no
professional government representa-
tive, needed in Washington so far as
the Navy is concerned, though some
concerns may find it desirable, due
to the volume of business, to have
factory representatives here, and that
no one has any influence in securing
the award of a contract.

service in it's first months operation
that the Post Office Department has
under consideration a reduction OF the

The average speed through all condi-
tions of weather was slightly In ex-
cess of seventy miles an hour.
