K | st ) | 4 i FAYOR FEDERAL ARMY RESERVE Sentiment for Organisation Similar to Continental Force Grows in Congress. TERNS OF BILL AGREED ON WASHINGTON, Feb, 27.—A grow- ing tendency to provide for a federal | army reserve in addition to the regu- lar army and federalized National | Guard was manifest today in both the house and senate millitary com- | mittees. | Members of both committees said | they favored a practical test of the possibility of forming a federal vol- | unteer army in peace times on lines somewhat similar to the continental army plan. The apparent iutention to abandon the continental project wholly was one of the causes leading | up to the resignation of Becretary | Garrison. The house committee agreed today on | the general terms of a bill it expects to get before the house within ten days providing for a regular army with an authorized peace strength of 143,000 men: | & federalized Nationsl Guard, which would reach a fixed minfmum strength | of 424,000 in five years; adequate reserve systems for both of thess torces; and organisation of civillan training camps with wide discretion reposed in the War department as to the terms of enlist mient, training and government. The senate commitiee hus agreed ten- tatively to a plan under which train- ing camps would be authorized in every congressional distriot, where sufficient men volunteered for tralning under an obligation for war service. The maxi- mum force to be thus raised in any dis- trict would be a battalion, or substan- tially the same number as proposed for the first year of the Garrison conti- nental army plan. The camps will be under command of full complements of regular army officers.

The Only Day ARY 25 1916, HOSE ON PROMISE Unlike Other Cities, There Are No Specifications and Bids Sub- mitted by Middlemen. oy | | TRUST TO LUCK AS TO QUALITY | | Why can St. Paul, Minn., submit the most rigid set of fire hose speci- | tications drawn by any city and re- | celve direct from manufacturers, | bids ranging from 48 to 68 cents per | | foot, each bidder agreeing to comply ! with the specifications? Why does Omaha, with no speci- | fications, have to submit to bids from | middlemen and pay 80 cents to $1.10 | per foot for fire hose? | Why can 8t. Paul have a represen- | tative at the factory, while the hose {is being made, this representative | supervising tests, according to the |most approved modern scientific methods? Why does Omanha buy fire hose merely on the maker’'s promise and |then trust to luck that it will be ‘O. K.? Why 1s it? \ The fire hose specifications of St.! | Paul cover three and a half closely writ- | ten pages of typewritten matter and| ‘“n lude every feature of hose require-| ment, based on expert knowledge, The | | following are a few of the concluding | agraphs of the St. Paul specifica- | tions | In the Specification. | *“Inspection of hose under the require- ments of the preceding sections will be carried out at the factory or factories, | where the hose is made, by the Bureau of Municipal Testing laboratories.

In the face of St. Paul's exacting speci- fications, nine manufacturers of fire hose submitted bids, the prices ranging from 48 to 68 cents per foot. These blds were opened three months ago. The specitica- tions of the Minnesots capital city lack no feature which might protect the ety | in securing proper hose. The bids were all submitted direct from the mune-l turers. Omaha pays the middleman's profits ‘when buying fire hose. The St. Paul specifications cover minute detalls regarding rubber lining, cotton cover, fittings, welght of hose, tests of all kinds and under al| ditions, physi- cal tests for a period of éne year after labeling hose at factory, five chemical tests of the rubber linin, In addition to the tests made at factories by a repre- sentative of the city, it is required that three-foot samples must be sent for tests at St. Paul, The Omaha city council opened fire hose bils on January 16 of this year. The prices ranged from 68 cents to $1 per foot. Ten thousand feet were purchased at 80 cents per foot, 8,000 feet being sold by one favored middleman, On February 5, 1914, the city purchased 10,000 feet from six bidders at these prices: 1,000 feet at | 80 cents, 1,000 feet at §1 and 5000 foet at 3110, The fire department officlals recently stated that the particular brand of hose of which 8,000 feet were bought last month at 80 cents per foot is as good as any of the 8000 feet purchased two years ago | at $110 per foot. Two years ago. instead of submitting specifications, the city pur- chasing department, for the fire depart- ment, bought six brands of hose, and after two years' use the fire chief avers the 80-cent hose gives the service. !

It was suggested that the word had gone out that Omaha would not pay more than $ enta for fire hose. An official of a metropolitan city near Omaha writes this information Our last purchase of fire hose was on the basls of 8 cents per foot. This wnas honest construction hose superfor to the underwriters' specifications. In other words, we purchased a better grade of hose than the city of St, Paul specified This hose was given physical test to determine quality of the tubes, etc., at the factory by the city Inspector.

It will be possible to buy hose at a much lower price, but I belleve that if only price was considered you would un- On the other hand, It Is not necessary to pay the exorbitant prices that have been paid in the past by various cities, such as Omaha, paying % cents to $1.10 a foot.” Minneapolis submits rigid specifications and is able to buy high-grade howe for 8 cents per foot. Washington, D. €., where government specifications of the most exacting na- ture must be met, this month awarded a fire hose contract at 48 centa per foot. This for standard hose of two and a half inches dlameter. Omaha has never had fire hose apeeifi- cations. Two years ago the city bougnt 10,000 feet on an average price of $1.08 per foot.
