New Forms for Township Bidding.

Indianapolis, August 10.—The state board of accounts, which under the recently enaefew law, Is to have supervision of the public books and records of the township, town, jcity, county and state offices, has begun to send to the 1,016 township trustees the blank forms prepared by the board for bidders on contracts for township supplies. The form is known as Form 9, the- preceding eight forms being circular letters and letters of instfuction. The new form embodies the suggestions of Governor Marshall concerning declarations which will be required of all bidders concerning their prices. Under the provisions each bidder will be required to subscribe to the following: “The bidder declares and represents as an inducement to the acceptance of the proposals hereto attached that the prices set forth herein are just and usual; that he has not offered to nor received from any person, firm, board, commissioner, trustee or corporation a less price for the articles embraced in this bid than that stated herein except (here a blank is left for recording the exception); that if this bidder shall offer to receive from any person, firm, board, commission, trustee or corporation during the continuance of the contract sought hereunder, a less price than that herein stated, excepting only such as shall be caused by usual and recorded market changes, he consents that the difference shall be deducted from any sum due to him under said contract, or, if there be none, that said difference may be recovered from him by appropriate action, as a liquidated indebtedness, and it is hereby agreed by this bidder that this stipulation shall be inserted in and be a part of any contract that may be entered into upon this bid; and this bidder further represents and agrees that he will not directly or indirectly, withdraw this bid from the office in which it is filed, and that the same shall, in the manner and form in which it is made, become and remain a part of the public documents In said office.” An attached statement to be signed by the bidder contains the following: “That the bid is not made as a speculation; that it will be executed and fulfilled by the bidder; that it correctly describe? the articles on which the bid is based; that the bidder does not offer to sell the same article under another name or classification for a different price nor will he do so; that the price set forth i 6 just, not unusual, and not excessive; that the bidder has entered into no combination, collusion or agreement with any person concerning the bids, and that the bidder has not offered to or received from any other source a price less than that submitted for the articles specified; that no person other than the bidder has any interest in the proceeds to be derived from the contract; that no Induceliaent other than that which appears on the face of the document has or will enter into the proposed agreement; that the bidder has not nor will he enter into an agreement to divide any share of the proceeds with any other person; that the bidder is not directly or indirectly interested in any other bid or proposal for supplying the articles named in the bid to the corporation seeking the bids; that the bidder is not bound, controlled, influenced, restricted or limited in any way or manner by an agreement, combination, arrangement or understanding, express or implied, with any person, firm or corporation, as to the state, county, city, town, township, district or other municipal subdivision or board or any place or territory in or before which he shall or may bid or compete for a contract of this kind, nature or substance sought under this bid; and that the bidder has not colluded, conspired, connived or agreed in any manner or form with any person whomsoever to prevent, withhold, control, restrict, limit, retard or impede bidding for the contract sought by the bid therein.” The affidavit shall declare, over his signature and under oath, that he has carefully read the provisions of the bid form and understands them. The purpose pet forth by the governor In asking the accounting board to make the conditions so iron-clad as outlined is to prevent recurrence of conditions which have been reported from time to time concerning bidding on township supplies. A recent disclosure of a "gentleman’s agreement” in township bids submitted in a township in Wayne county was taken largely Into consideration in preparing the township forms.

Wire Business Has Big Growth.

The enormous growth of telegraph and telephone business in the United States is interestingly set forth in a bulletin just issued by the Census Bureau. It appears from this bulletin that the telephone is supplanting the telegraph to a considerable' extent, even in train dispatching. The bulletin says in part: “More than 15,000,000 miles of single wire are used by the people of the United States in communicating with each other over the various telephone and telegraph systems. Of this number 12,999,369 miles are operated by the telephone systems and 2,072,851 miles by the telegraph companies. This length of single wire would encircle the earth at the equator more than 600 times. Over the telegraph wires in 1907 there flashed 368,470,509 messages, of which 5,869,317 were cablegrams. ,/ “The first telegraph line in the United States was opened for business in 1844, and thiirty-two years later the telephone was introduced. At the 1880 census the telephone companies reported 34,305 miles of wire, about one-ninth of the mileage of the telegraph companies. In 1902 the telephone mileage of wire was about four times as great as that used for telegraph purposes. In 1907 the telephone mileage was eight time as great as the telegraph. “In the amount of business done, the sum paid in salaries and wages and the capital invested in 1907 the telephone business was a little over three and one-half times as extensive as the telegraph industry, and during that time it furnished employment for more than five times as many persons. “Between 1902 and 1907 there was an addition of 8,098,918 miles of wire for the use of the telephone systems, as compared with an increase of but 259,611 in the mileage of owned and leased wire for commercial telegraph purposes. The increase in the Wire mileage of the telephone systems during the five years referred to was more than six times as great as the total amount of wire added to the telegraph business since 1880.’’ The statement is made in the bulletin that the use of telephones by railroads exclusively in connection with the operation of the roads has increased rapidly since 1902. Although the electric interurban roads early recognized the advantages of the telephone for dispatching purposes, the larger steam railroads have been disinclined to substitute the telephone for the long-established telegraph, the general objection being that of the liability of mistakes through the similarity in sound of different words when transmitted by telephone.

Following the firemen’s carnival of last week, during which various games were run, the police have placed a ban on all slot machines and other games of chance at Kingstown. Thomas Skene, aged 48, a wellknown miner of Perth, was ground to pieces under a fast freight train on the Big Four near Lodi while returning from Coal Bluff Monday. An average of one case of typhoid fever for every day in July and four deaths is shown by the report of City Health Commissioner McNamara filed with Mayor Fogarty, of South Bend.

Three hundred men have been imported to Gary from the sunny south by the Indiana Steel company, for the purpose of starting the new billet mill which is ready for operation. The men are all colored, and it was found necessary to bring them there because there are few others who are able to stand the intense heat that emanates from this mill while it is in operation. The starting of the billet mill is one ot the most important of the recent events at the steel mills, parking the completion and the operation of one of the important branches of the industry.

Appeal to Mayor for Beer.

+ Many business men of Gary and a large number of other private citizens wish beer, if the reform element in the city does not. Yesterday a petition with over five hundred signatures of prominent business men, and headed by F. N. Deen, was sent to Thomas E. Knotts, president of the town board, but known as “mayor,” asking that he should allow beer wagons to deliver beer to private families In Gary with the restrictions that only two cases should be allowed each person a week. The following is the petition: “We, the undersigned, citizens oi Gary, earnestly appeal to you in behalf of our citizens to allow beer wagons to deliver beer to private houses and restrict of said" beer wagons to allow but one case to each customer and not to exceed two cases a week. Wagons not to be allowed to deliver beer to places that have the name of running ‘blind pigs’.” Hundreds of men employed in the steel works and blast furnaces at Gary threaten to quit work unless the beverage is restored to them. Many already have done so and officials of the Indiana Steel company face a labor famine.
