Rartlett of the third ward, who vated (o enter into ontrafty with the firm selected by the charity commission. His was the only republican vote cast with the faction that favored accepting the original recommendation, The motion that prevalled was made by Alderman C, ' J. Dehm, president pro tem, of the counell, Tn addition to the general contract, the following sub.contracts were ap- proved: Cowles Electric Co. for the electrical work, $1,08 Quinlivan for the plumbing work, $3,300; A.

Conlon of the | sixth ward moved that all recom- dations of the charity board be adopted. Alderman Dehm then amended that contracts be entered into with the C. 8. Porriss Co. of Hartford. Conlon Shows Dehm Inconsistent ! Alderman Cenlon agaln took the floor and expressed surprise at the at- titude of Alderman Dehm. He told the council that when the flnance committee was organized last April it ‘was the. consensus of opinion that all contracts should be kept in New Brit- ain when it was practicable to do so, and Alderman Dehm, he said, was one of the strong advooates of this policy. He pointed out that there is a com- paratively slight difference in the low- est bid and that of C. L. D. Co., be- ing only three per cent on a $50,000 Jjob. The alderman ocalled attention to the frequent urgings of the Chamber of Commerce that all New Britainites buy at homie and boost home indus- tries. He urged thg the oity set a #ood example by bu; here, Counciiman D. L. Nair suggested that Judge W. F.

The sle. ment second in importance was th fact that the “trade at home" move: | ment made it advisable to selsct local bidder when the margin of Aif. ference was slight, Alderman John ¥, Gill of the sec: ond ward sald he was always in favor of trading In New Rritain, but won. dered If the charity hoard was con- t in 1ta stand, He asked Judge gan how much money the charity had spent out of town In the | past year, Judge Mangan repliad that it would inot he posaible for him to say fjust [how much, but*he hellavad that there were ho purchases out: of town when |the margin of difference was not more than 15 per cent. Otherwise local |dealers were given the oontracts. On tea and coffee, it was possible for the |board to buy from the same jobbers |end at the same prices as local men handling those commodities and those contracts went out of town, he said. The second warder asserted that he |had offered bids on numerous joom |and that he regarded it an insult to the lowest bidder If the fact of a low work.
