Following the Instructions recently Is
sued by tho city council, City Clerk Shrlg
ley Is advertising for bids for supplies of
various kinds In quantities large enough
to last for. six months. It Is thought In
this way that considerable money can ba
saved. Rids for stationery, books, ofltco
supplies, coal, hay, grain, hardware, lum
ber, etc., will bo received at the ofllco oJ
the clerk up to noon of December 20. In
this case tho city reserves tho right to
reject any or all bids and to make nwards
.far each article separately or upon an
average for each class, as shall be deemed
for the best Interests ot tho city. In mak
ing averages no bids will bo considered un
less each and every article in the class if,
bid upon.
Heads of tho various departments have
made estimates ot their needs for six
months. It Is estimated that 12,440 poumlE
of ico will bo needed for' the city Jail, pollco
court and (Ire hull for the six months com
mencing In May nnd ending In October.
At least 150 tin, tags for drays, milk and
peddler wagons will bo needed, according
to Inspector Jones. Treasurer Koiitaky
sends In a long list of books and ofllco sup
plies of various kinds. Chief Etter figures
thnt twenty-two tons of hay and 425 bushels
ot oatSywIU bo needed for tho fire horses,
ulong with eleven tons of Walnut block
and tour tons of anthracite coal. Chief
Mitchell estimates that he will uso 2,000
largo envelopes for holding prisoners' valu
ables, 2,000 small envelopes and tho same
number ot letterheads.
Should tho plnn, as proposed, bo carried
out, thero will bo ft great deal of red tapo
about tho purchaso of .supplies not noted
In tho estimates. However, In the Johnston
resolution provision Is made for emergency
cases. A written order must be obtained
first from tho committee In charge nnd tho
bill attached to tho order Issued tor the
supplies, otherwise tho finance committee
will not consider tho claim.

Two additional delivery windows will
bo placed In tho screen at the postpfflco
somo tlmo this week In order to secure a

As It Is now thero Is only ouo window
for carriers to deliver mall to patrons
nnd this causes a regular stampedo In tho
Jobby between tho hours of noon and 1
o'clock every Sunday. Complaints were
frequently mado to Postmaster Etter and
n request for two raoro windows was mado.
Tho contract for tho grill work was lot to
a Chicago firm six weeks ago and yesterday
Captain Etter received word that tho win
dows had beon shipped. When these win
dows are In position there will then be
four windows for Sunday mall delivery.
With four carriers working nt ono win
dow It Is thought thnt tho crowd can be
handled with such rapidity as to prevent
any complaints In the future.
No action Iwb been taken by tho postal
department yet In the request that an ad
