That the City Council of Tortland
awarded to th American-La France
Fire Engine Company a contract for
the rental and ultimate purchase of
type of fire engines not authorized
by the bid which, was originally ac
cepted, was the oral decision handed
down yesterday by Presiding Judge
Morrow, whey he overruled a demur
rer of Deputy City Attorney Tomlin
son In the Injunction suit brought by
Mr. M. H. Gragg, a taxpayer, who
sought to enjoiav the City of Portland
from purchasing six auto fire enpines
from the America n-Ls. France Company.
Tha decision yesterday of Judge
Morrow is but temporary, as he imme
diately announced that he would grant
tha city a rehearing at which the six
Circuit Judges w-ould sit en banc, at
the request of Deputy City Attorney
Tomllnson. This hearing will be held
at n early date. Judse Morrow prom
ised.
SpeclMeatI Alleged Changed.
Mrs. Gregg brought suit upon the
grounds that the City of Portland en
tered into a lease agreement with the
American-La Franc Company under-l
terms not- stipulated under the bids.
The specific complaint is that the
specifications were changed to allow
the fire truck concern to sell six ma
chines without self-starters, although
tiie original bid i provided that these
should be installed.
It is also alleged that the contract
leas entered into between the City
of Portland - and the American-La-France
Company stipulated that the
City of Portland should pay the Fed
eral income tax. despite a t-euVral law
hich states that this lax nm.-t be
paid by the manufactui er. The plain
tiff asserts that the Seasraves Com
pany, which Likewise submitted a bid.
did so with the understanding that
it would pay the Federal war tax
amounting to $1800.
(barter Declared Violated.
The third point set forth by the plsin-
tiff waa that the City of Portland
did not have sufficient funds with
which to purchase the machines, and
therefore violated a section of the city
charter in entering into a contract
for the purchase of supplies without
having a fund set aside for that par
ticular purpose. m

Peputy City Attorney Tomlinson
yesterday urged that the rehearing

much as four of the machines have
already arrived in the city awaiting
delivery but the company will refuse
to turn them over to the city until
he present litigation is finally set
