BID SURETY HELD
Performance Bond To Be

By MURRAY

R. A. Dietz, a representa-
tive of the Horni Signal
Manufacturing company, will
come here within a few days
to discuss details of the Ill
fire boxes the Horni company has
contracted to deliver the city for
installation in its newly-acquired
areas, City Manager J. r. Ben
son said last night.
Benson reported that Dietz had
hoped to reach Wilmington early
this week, but was upavoidably
detained.
The city manager coupled his an
nouncement Of the Horni represen.
tative's impending visit here with
the statement that the company is
manufacturing boxes, that the city
has been well protected so far in
its contract for the fire alarm ex-
tension, and thu" its interests have
been and will be diligently pur.

"Our contract is with the vii.

pany, a firm whose reliability has

est question:" Benson said.
Charles F. Jones, the local COM
pany's president, submitted his bid
with what he termed, the double
assurance Of the Horni company's
guarantee 10
"Mr. Jones gave us a bid Of 500,
which we are now holding.
THE Wilmington Electrical Sup
ply Company has at no time in
dieated any unwillingness to fur
nish a performance bond for the
boxes after they are installed"
the city manager asserted.
Benson cited a clause in the city's
contract with Jones which bound
the bidder ito guarantee the boxes
furnished by him for a period OF
one year. and to agree to make
good at his own expense any de-
feet, fault or damage due to any
carelessness, neglect, omission or
use of improper methods or mater
ials." -f>..
Bond Not Due
The bond which would guarantee
the performance of the boxes for
a 12-month period is not due until
they are installed in the city's fire
system, Benson pointed out.
Horni has been reluctant to sign
the bond so far. he admitted, be-
cause it is dubious of a section in
the city's specifications for the
boxes.
The questionable section, he
said, provides that acceptable
boxes must be both insulated and
grounded" Horni has said that il
cannot meet the insulation require
ment and provide a grounding at
tachment at the same time
The city knows, however, that
Horni is manufacturing the boxes,
as a result of a direct investiga.
ton undertaken early in August,
Benson said.

However, we hurried out to his
