i Thla apeclat committee held alengthy
easlon yesterday, but adjourned with
Out1 having taken any definite action.
. They almply dlscuaaed the question of
pumpa and hulls, and then closed the
eeesion, to continue the arguments In
formally In the corridors.
' . -Pumps Tlaally Selected.
Tha aesslon developed one feature,
and that was that the committee will
" consider no propoaltion not embodytng
tha use of pumpa made by the Amerl-
; can Fire Engine Company. Committee
man Curtla aaid today:
"These pumps at the present time
are tha acme of perfection in such Ore-
flghlng apparatus. We would not be
justified In our elective duties by tik
- lng any chances with experiments. I do
not for a moment doubt that Moran
.Broa. A Co. can build good pumps, but
at the same time we want to deal with
something that wa know la all right
In every particular.
"Also I am more than ever Impressed
with tha Idea that we want a steel ves-
: seL I do not think that a wooden ves
sel will answer the purpose. All first
class cities are installing flre-flghtlng
craft of steel construction, and we de
sirs tha best wa can secure for the ap
propriation." , ,
nam for Soma Industry.
. ". Oeorge If- Howell waa present aa rep
. rasentatlva of the Federated Trades, and
entered a plea for home Industry. The
members of tha committee naturally
wanted to sea a Portland firm get the
contract, but doubted If they could
compete with other outside corpora
tions on tha class of vessel demanded.
However, If by .any chance the pro
vision, for a steel boat Is eliminated,
there Is no doubt but that tha contract
for constructing a wooden vessel would
bs awarded a local company.
An explanation of the features of the
- pump under controversy waa rortncom
lng from A. Q. Long, who spoke for the
American Fire Engine company. He
explained that tha company owned the
patents of all the cempanies and com
bined ail their best points in tne pro
posed pumps. He denied. that tha mer
ger bad combined to Increase the price
of the apparatus, but said that it had
rather a tendency to decreaa the ex
penses of construction.
Tha question of whether Moran Bros.
eV Co. could legally enter a supplemen
tary bid waa answered in the negative
by City Auditor T. -C Devlin, who
thought that new bids should be called
for In order to. give all of the compet
ing companies a fair chance.
"The national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republlo will never
come to the Pacific Coast again," aaid
II. SutcllrTe, when asked If the Oregon
delegation would work to bring the next
encampment to Portland. "It has been
17 years since the O. A. R, visited the
Pacific Coast. ' There may be such a
thing that Denvftr will secure the en
campment in a year or two, but I think
"T-haa - are, doubtful.'1
Mr. Sutcliffe, assistant qUaYfermVi
