It the city council heeds the advice
ot the lasurance companies, the plan
ot Installing a telephone alarm srs-(
tern In Kiamatn rails win oe aoau
doned. At the meeting ot the city
council last night a Utter waa read
from James N. McCaao, secretary ot
the Underwriters Equitable Rating
Bureau, In which warning was given
against the telephone plan. The let
ter follews:
"We have been shown a newspaper
clipping from the Klamath Repub
lican of December 19 th last, In which
It Is sUted that the question ot a Ore
alarm fo'r the city Is being considered,
and we note that It arrangements can
be made with the telephone company
for the operation of a telephone Are
alarm that such system might be pos
slbly Installed.
"We desire to take this means ot
advising you that in order to secure
a credit In rate for a municipal flro
alarm system that the rules ot the
underwriters call for a telegraph Ore
alarm system, such aa the Oamewell
or Star. There Is no experience ob
talnable with reference to telephone
Are alarms for municipal use, and we
would not advise the installation of
same In your city."
The reading of the letter followed
the decision of the city council to buy
a 1,500 pound bell to be put In the
tower in the lire hall. The new bell
will cost in the neighborhood of $000
when Installed.

believe, that the simple secret ot
the error lies. The grand Jury has
evidently taken It for granted that
this was all oa klad of culvert ma
terial. Now, "nestable" means noth
ing more or less than "knocked
down," a term so simple as to need no
further explanation to any man.
"Nestable" culvert does not say that
Lake county bought "nestable steel"
culverts, or "knocked down steel"
culverts, and that Klamath county
bought "knocked down American In
got Iron" culverts. Yet that la the
truo explanation of the above table
of prices.
Judge Worden declares that It was
after a comprehensive study of the
different materials offered and the
needs of the county that the decision
waa made to buy Ingot Iron pipe.
After reading the said report the
court wrote to Beall ft Co., at Port
land, Oregon, for an explanation as
to whether It had been fooled or been
misrepresented to by that firm, and
u to whether It were true that Lake
county haa been getting better price
than Klamath county for the same
kind of goods. Under date ot Decem
ber 31st, the county court received
the following letter from Beall &
Co., addressed to tho county Judge,
end reading as follews:
Dear 8tr Replying to your In
quiry for explanation relative to the
difference In price ot culvert pur
chased by your county and of that
purchased by Lake county, wo are
enclosing herewith our regular print
ed prlco sheet, showing the prlco at
which we furnish American Ingot
Iron and Steel culvert.
"You will notlco that In all cases
we have charged you the regular
price on American Ingot Iron cul
vert, the same price we charge In all
cases on this culvert, and further
more, all the culverU purchased by
iur county was of heavy standard
gauge and carries our absolute guar
antee as the best culvert on the mar
ket today at any price.
"If you will compare tho prices
charged Lake county with our printed
price list, you will find that we charg
ed them our regular price for tho
Doped Steel culvert, less the regular
discount on same, for Lake county
did not buy American Ingot Iron cul
vert till recently, and only then be
cause on the larger sizes of culvert
ordered by them we were afraid, to
make It out of doped steel, as we
v-ere fearful of the usual result in
steel culvert of that slxe, namely,
rust, which would affect the steel In
n year or so, causing It to crush In,
resulting In much dissatisfaction and
possibly actions for damage that
might arise, and on this small lot of.
Urge size culvert made out of Amer
ileal of competition, which spruiiK up
from tho use of a cheap grado or steci
nnd we. thinking that wo might have
to furnish that grade ot culverts, pur-
chased a stock of steel to meet it.
This stock laid dead 011 our hands,
a up to tho time wo sold this onlor
to Lake county we had norer before
bold a dollar's worth of It, and our
l.rm Issued orders to the salrsinru to
clean that stock up and gel It off our
bands at any price.
"These steel metal mentioned hero
do not conflict with our prices In tny
way. and wo noer rccognlxed them
a competitive features against Amer
ican Ingot Iron. At best thoy are
only good for from flvo to eight years
In ordinary soil, while we absolutely
stand back ot American Ingot Iron ns
non-rusting, and your county hai
trade no mistake cither as to price or
tho quality of your culvert, as It will
Ihtt a lifetime.
"More than 90 per cent of tho coun
ties In Oregon, Washington and Idaho
are using American Ingot Iron cul
verts and aro buying It at tho very
same prlco that your county has paid.
t may also add that In the more than
7S per cent of the now railroad con
struction In tho Northwest American
Ingot Iron has been specified us
against any other metal.
"Your county court has used good
Judgment In tho purchaso of this cut
vert, for wherever they are put In It
'means absoluto permanency, and the
end ot culvert trouble tor all tlmo.
"Trusting this letter gives you the
information rou desire, wo beg to
remain. Yours very truly,
"BEALL & CO."
Judge Worden then quotes letter
received from county Judges of Lane
county, Umatilla county,
county and Baker county. In
communication tho fact la set forth
that tho prices paid for culverts wore
the same as those paid by Klamath
county.
In conclusion, In our decision to
purchaso American Ingot Iron as
against steel culverts, wo had this
one problem to solve: Should wu
pay $1.29 per foot for a culvert ma
terial that would lost a lifetime, or
say fifty years, which not this gener
ation, but the grandchildren of our
children would have to replaco, or
should wo pay 80 cents, or a third
less, for a culvert material that Its
sellers admit will begin rusting with
'In a year or two, and thnt will have
to bo replaced, not by tho grand
children ot our children, but by our
selves, within Ave to eight years.
That being our problom, wo solved
It as wo have done, by paying tho
higher price. If wo were wrong wo
must accept and do accept tho crit
icism that has been directed against
us. Whether that criticism was Justi
fied or not, wo as members of tho
county court cannot escape the belief
that we have acted for the host Inter
ests of the taxpayers of Klamath
county, present and future.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. 8. WORDEN,
County Judge.
