Hot words were passed, ami every
person In the preseuco of the city
council were fired lust night, when
tlie contract for new hoae allowed by
me fire and water committee recent
ly was brought up for discussion and
the committee Itself raked over the
coals-by Mayor 11 ice.
While flumes smouldered under
the surface in the breast of Council
man McClintock, head of the eotji-
jiiittee. .Mayor Ktce asked for an ex
puliation and after calling S, K.
Sykes to affirm that he had not been
notified of the Intention of the com
mittee to make the purchase, de
mantled that the councilman recount
the details of the transaction. The
mayor said the, committee had
neglected to consider 1 he local deal
ers and had acted altogether too
hasty. The heat of the situation was
not relieved until the full story had
been told when it was discovered that
the hose bought had been obtained
through a local agency and that as
the order would arrive in a few days,
further discussion was useless,
Councilman Creason started the
argument when he said that one oi
two local dealers had not been noti
fied. He believed they should at all
times be given first consideration
and that no hose should have been
purchased If not through the local
firms.
When the issue had been fully de
veloped, Mr. McClintock arose and
told the history of the transaction.
He said the committee had been
urged to make the purchase on ac
count of a report from the state fire
underwriters which had been read to
the council and which was published
in the Hoseburg press. He said the
committee were Immediately visited
by representatives from all parts of
the coast and he believed that the
local dealers had an equal opportun
ity to be informed of the doings of
the council with the firms from dis
tant points. Several local llrms did
present their quotations, he said.
Mr. McClintock and the members of
the committee forced the outside
representatives to place their goods
with the agents here before tliey
would consider their offers. The
deal as linally arranged, he said, was
made through the agency of the
Churchill Hardware Company of this
city.
