SYSTEM OF BUYING FIRE HOSE
BAD, DECLARES MAYOR LANE
Mayor Lane indirectly, but none the
less pointedly, criticised the head of
the fire department at the meeting of
tha fire committee of tha executive
board yesterday afternoon when ha re
ferred to the fact that Portland Is one
of the few large cities of the United
States that do not require specifica
tions for bidders on fire hose.
"I'm told that Seattle and otherlties
in buying , fire hose submit certain
specifications, la that right, chief r
asked tha mayor. ' t ' --'-'
"I don't know whether that ia right
Or not" rep nea tjnier tjampoeu.
"Wall, this hanhasard war of buy
ing hose ia a mighty poor one. When
you don't specify hose with so many
strands- in the- outside mesh and so
many in tha inner ones, each of these
to - be of a ' Certain strength, anrl th
hose to be able to withstand a definite
teat, then you are forced to listen to
the contractors and pick from among
the many plausible stories .. the one
that sounds best Everybody tells you
his hose is the best f , -. v , .
"It's a . sort of a eatoh-m-fatoh can
proposition. Now we ought to decide
iiDon a more hualnaaalfka mthwt u., un
kind oi apeclficationa should. be
adopted and bidders should be made to
conform to ;- these and any hose ac
cepted ought to be guaranteed.
jiers vveioier waa instructed to
write to the laraer cities nt
and those of the east asking as to the
specifications required by each and to
report at tha next meeting' of tho flra
committee. . . ..
