SANITARY BOARD SPLITS ON BIDS FOR EQUIPMENT Tennessee Plant’s Offer Is Lowest for Garbage Plant Cookers. A split among: sanitary board commissioners arose Thursday over the awarding of a contract for installing thirty-two new cookers at the city garbage plant. The cookers are used at the disposal plant to ‘‘boil down” the garbage for use as fertilizer. Awarding of the contract was postponed until Tuesday when board members failed to agree upon a successful bidder. They are to confer with Mayor Reginald H. Sulllivan. Favors Low Bidder O. C. Ross, board member, favored the low bidder, the Walsh & Weidner Boiler Company of Chattanooga, Tenn., while B. J. T. Jeup and City Engineer A. H. Moore, ex-officio member, opposed letting the contract to an out-of-town firm. Bid of the Chattanooga company was $21,440, with 4 % cents for iron door frames as compared to $24,179 and 14 cents for door frames, offered by the American Boiler and Sheet Iron Works, lowest Indianapolis bidder. Jeup charged "it is unwise to give a contract to the Chattanooga company, which is in receivership.” Question of receivership doesn’t mean anything,” Ross said, "the Walsh-Weidner Company is about $3,000 lower and will do better work.” Suggests Postponement Moore suggested the matter be postponed until the mayor was consulted. "I usually favor an Indianapolis concern when they are anyway near low,” Ross further explained, ‘‘but this city has paid dearly for giving local concerns preference in all sanitary department contracts.” "We can not take any chances on having this work delayed by a company because of a receivership,” Jeup pointed out. Eight companies offered bids on cookers, which will be paid for with a bond issue. WA NTS DAUGHTER FREED Mother Alleges Girl Is Held Illegally at Clermont.
