Party lines cast to the four winds at lust night's Informal meeting of Council, hold for the purpose, of considering tho purchase of 'flro hose.

II.

Phillips of Plttsburg. representing tho Boston Packing Company. TJioro were oratorical pyrotechnics aplenty, tho principal dispute being over tho admission of tho Phillips bid. The of the Phillips company did not present his bid until tho meeting last night and Chairman Ston-' cr of tho Public Safety Committee fought manly but In vain to have a revised bid from tho Fabric Hoso Company admitted. The Fabric company cut its prlco to ,80 cents after bidding 90 cents the first time.

Councilman Berg led the opposition to admitting either the Phillips bid or the second proposal of tho Fabric company. At the close of tho meeting the motion to have all bids reconsidered was lost by 6 to ote. After Council had decided to purchase only 1,500 feet Instead of 3.000, tho consideration of the various bids wns taken up. Chairman Stoner suggested the Eureka hose at 85 cents and Fabric at 90 Before this could be seconded.

Millard wont with them and remained for nearly 10 minutes. During his absence tho members got into an argument that threatened to wax too warm for the comfort of peaceable noncombatants, but Chairman Mlllnrd returned In time to pour oil on the troubled' waters. Tho amendment, providing for tho purchase of the two lowest priced hose, was put nnd carried, Beig.

Reynolds and Hot7el being the only ones to oppose It. The motion as amended carried. Before being put Chairman Sloner reminded that this was but a recommendation and not a purchase. The matter will be acted upon at the regular meeting of Council. Kooser Joined the opponents to the amended motion, making four votes against It.

Stoner then suggested deferlng consideration of the bids until other companies should havo an' opportunity to present lower figures It was lost and an adjournment taken Borough Solicitor S.
