Chicago Co. ADarded Fire Escape Contract
Potter Manufacturing Company Given Brookside Home Project Subject to
 ApprovoI of Engineering Department

The Board of Works last night awarded contract to build a fire escape at the Brookside Home to a Chicago firm subject to approval by the Engineering Department.
 The fire escape planned operates on the same principle as laundry chute. There are no steps and the tube levels off to avoid sharp slope.
 This type of fire escape is used in many hospitals, homes for the blind and other institutions to carry invalids with the least amount of discomfort.
 Potter Mfg. Corp, North Califor- mia avenue, Chicago, bid $2,984 for the job which has been estimated at $5, 900 by the Engineering Depart ment. This was a lone bid.
 The firm requested waiving a 60- day time limit set for the job. since 1t cannot obtain the necessary ma. terials in the specified time. Also. the concern is in the Midwset.
 The bid was opened by Purchas- ing Director Henry Bowling. A cer- tified check for $350, more than 10 per cent of the offer, accompanied the bid.
