LUU iv Dearborn "Washington Mayor Will Either Send His Name to Council 'Tomorrow Night or Allow Him to Hold Over Until Fall Unless Some Hitch Occurs. Acting Fire Jfsrshsl McDonough Is slated by Mayer Dunne for permanent chief ef the Are department, and will either be named tomorrow night or permitted to act In his present capacity until fall unless a change In the present program la made. Friends of the sctlng msrshsl who called at the city hall yesterdsy were Informed by close advisers of the mayor who favor, the double platoon system thst McDonough's name would probably go to the council Monday night unless some unforeseen hitch was rencountered in the interim. Pressure has been brought te bear on however, to eliminate' McDonough from the figuring, and either appoint former Marshal Mushsm or First Assistant Marshal Horaa.

-The latter. It Is understood. Is not anxious for ths promotion, seeing a rough and unpleasant road ahead for" the new chief, no matter who be may be. The interference of outside notably Daniel D. Healy, and friends of seversl agents of lire engine manufacturers, is looked upon by the veterans In ths department as an sugury of stormy dsys to come.

It la not believed, however, thst friends ot the system, even wtth McDonough pulling for them, would.be sble to carry out the scheme right away. It will first be necessary to secure a large appropriation for this purpose, ss in the neighborhood of 600 new men would be required to put the full program Into operation.

The threat of the Chicago hoard ot underwriters to raise tbe Insurance ratea 10 per cent in the event ef McDonough's selection aa permanent chief, la ssld to have had Just ths opposite effect on the mayor from that contemplated. One of the mayor's close advisers declared yesterday that he would now appoint McDonough. "Just to show ths insurance "trust'- that it Isn't running the city of Chicago." Coincident with the gossip in the city hall' yesterdsy thst McDonough's name waa still on the slate.

It was snnouneed that revised specifications for the twelve new fire engines will be msde public tomorrow morn-. ing In the marshal's office. These specifications. It was. learned, will be a radical departure from the usual style.

They will not specify snythlng much, except to call tor a machine that can do a certain amount or work. It la understood Acting Chief McDonough went over an outline of the specifications yesterday, and said they were good enough tor him. The specifications will be such that any firs engine builder In the world can come tn and submit a proposition. They will simply set forth that the city ot Chicago is desirous of purchasing new engines that will do a certain thing under certain conditions. If sny manufacturer can build such sn engine he will be at liberty to call on the chief and tell him He will then be asked to submit a bid.

All the bids submitted under the former specifications, which caused the summary removal of former Marshal Campion on charges ot having drawn them so that only the fire engine "trust" could submit a bid. havs been thrown into the waste basket by the acting chief, orders from Mayor Dunne.
