By ths trma of an ordinance which
conn befor the city council for final
action tomorrow ths city will pay $1200
towards purchasing a new car for
Mayor Albs. Ths mayor Is to exchange
bis present car for a new one, the dif
ference in exchange being in excess of
12000, of which $1200 Is sought from
the city.
According to the ordinance intro
duced by Mayor Albee two weeks ago,
the sum of $6600 was appropriated for
the purchase of a car for the use of
the commissioners, but as this was
never expended the mayor offered the
services of his private car with the
understanding that the sum of $100 a
month be allowed for depreciation. His
private car cost $4000.
The $1200 sought is 12 months' de
preciation at $100 a month. The $800
portion of the difference Is to be paid
.by the ntayor provided the ordinance
passes. The measure will also cancel
the ordinance providing for the orig
inal appropriation for an official city
automobile.
The machine at present owned by the
mayor Is a seven passenger car but of
only four cylinder type. He expects to
exchange It for a machine of the six
cylinder type.
FIRE HOSE IS INVESTIGATED
Mayor and Commissioners Consider
Several Rids.
For nearly two hours this morning
the mayor and city commissioners
were shown all of the good qualities
of dozens of different kinds of fire
hose manufactured. Bids have already
been received from 10 different com
panies for 18.650 feet of hose, the cost
being estimated at $13,000.
Each representative was allowed five
minutes to discuss the merits of hie
wares. Hose of all kinds was dis
played. The price varies according to
the slse and the make. When the con
tract' Is finally let It will mean that
one of the largest purchases of fire
hose in several years will have been
made.

case to the attention of District At
