the ensuing year. Mrs. William B.

when completed will be one of the most
up-to-date churches in the northwest
1t is expected the remodeling will be
started early in the summer.
The church has also organized a choir
to be under the direction of the Rev

MUSIC MASTERS

Chamber Opera Company With
Ely Municipal Band Please
Enthusiastic Audience.

One of the higher class musical en-
tertainments was furnished the people
of this city, Sunday evening, when the
Chamber Opera Company of Chicago
appeared as guest artists with the Ely
Municipal Band at the Washington
auditorium before about 200 people.
The company was composed of Maria
Matyas, mezzo soprano; Robert Long,
tenor; Raymund Koch, baritone, direc-
ted and accompanied by Charles Ler-
vey, pianist of renown. The COM
pany, with the exception of Mr.. Koch,
a new acquisition, appeared here last
year as guest artists with the band and
their offering at that time guaranteed
them an enthusiastic reception on their
appearance here Sunday.
Counter attractions kept many away
and those who were unable to hear the
gifted vocalists and their accompanist
missed one of the finest events staged
here.
The Municipal Band, under the direc-
ton of Frank v. DiNino, opened the
program with the rollicking New Col

Long and Mr.. Koch then sang as a
trio, Mozart's Magic Flute"

Two Council Groups
Wrangle Ouer Buy of
Furniture, Equipment
Controversy Over Purchase
of Civic Center Supplies
Divides Council.
TO ASK FOR NEW BIDS
Both Sides Hurl Charges
at Meets and Broadcast
Public Pamphlets.

The purchase of equipment for the
new Community Center building, under
| the bids received and opened two
weeks ago and awarded Friday, are all
off.
The city council, at special meeting
Monday evening, attended by a crowd
that filled the council chambers to the
doors, rescinded the motion made at
the meeting on Friday and decided to
readvertise for bids on the equipment.
The letting of the contracts, Friday
evening, was followed by wave of
discussion throughout the city. To add
to the controversy, circular signed by
Aldermen Alex Lobe, Joseph Spreitzer,
Jr. and John Debeltz, who led the fight
against the purchase of the equipment
on the submitted bids, signed the cir
cular
Mayor Jack Peshel and Aldermen
Arthur Nyman, John Mattila and Frank
zgonc carried the motion at the special
meeting to award the contract. The
circular distributed by the minority
group against the purchase broke down
the figures for the benefit of the reader
The circular stated that it had been
prepared for the benefit of the public.
1t went on to state that on certain
items there was no competitive bids.
1t also stated that "if the low bids were
accepted, and with competition on the
others, we believe that the city could
save more than $4,000, which could be
used for the man in the street"
For the information of the public"
the circular stated, I'VE give an example
of how approximately $1,000 could be
saved on five items of the Is bids &C.
cepted."
The figures were presented showing
how one bidder of the successful bid
derS had been awarded the contract
| for furniture and miscellaneous items
| for $12,513.93 against the competitor
who had bid $9,11255 on the same list.
The circular then showed that the con-
tract for rugs was awarded for 81, l91 81
against lower bid of $1,1O400; wood
folding chairs for s2,754.50 against
S752.50; steel folding chairs for 81, l69 90
against $4,000; chair trucks at s4591o
against $4,000.
The figures printed showed that the
successful bidder secured the contract
for the sum of $19,0872O while had the
contract gone to the lowest bidder for
$12 265.05, total of approximately
$1,000 would have been saved on the
five items specified.
The aldermen signing the circular
also were of the opinion that a goodly
amount could be saved on the kitchen
and cafeteria equipment which had
been awarded to a lone bidder for
Sill 561.00 They also stated in their
communication to the public that a
bid on a gas range and broiler was ac-
copied for 1881 65 and then went on to
ask why gas range when the city
can get electric power so cheaply or at
approximately one and three fourths
cents per kilowatt hour?"
The bid on china and glassware for
81 1880 was accepted and again the
aldermen believed that a competitive
bid on these items would enable the
city to save money. A refrigerator was
contracted for on the bid of $4,000 or
