Cnuntr official Sre talking of reconsider
Ins: tne contrnct recently authorized for
viruum cleaner for th new court house,
and Peter F:tswr, -county commissioner.
1 trying to keep the chairman of the board
from signing thf contract.
Pome weeks ao Commissioners O'Connor,
T.yndi mil) I'loksrtl vhtlted several cities
and various vacuum cleaning systems In
operation. They eliminated all but one sys
tern, and upon their return recommended
thin system to the other commissioners.
Vpon tho advice of these three men Mr.
Klsasser and Chairman Bedford alio voted
for this system, making the choice unani
mous The firt hid of the firm, represented
by If. A. Hanlghan. ' I4.6.W for a six
sweeper system. When the commissioners
hoKan to talk business till" bid-wax cut
Mia). The hid of the Talm Vacuum Clean
Ing company was JJ.fO and a company In
retinfjlvanla had n bid mill lower. Thla
latter via not considered seriously from
the first.
When the Palm people learned the con
tract vi likely to be awarded to the other
fu m they at ouce, rent a salesman w ith two
complete systems to try to convince the
commissioners that thMr syatcm was beat.
He first got the ear of Peter Elssssex.
At the earnest solicitation of Mr. Etsasser
Mr. O'Coeinor .and Mr. Pick ai d visited the
rn I m of(lca and .listened to tha arguments
aiialnst the other system. A. representative
of the system was present during the In
terview, but had little to say.
Mr. Plckard aaja he will nut defend the
successful bidders; that they must talk for
themselves. He was frank to say, however,
that ha considered the whole matter a
knock. He asked If It would be fair for an
automobile ' salesman to show a- (picking
new machine in competition with one on
the road a long time, whose parts had
been W0rn find unpalnted.
The Palm machine la what Is vailed a wet
machine and uses 130 gallons of water an
hour. The.Titec system Is a dry system
and u sea no. uulo,-,
Tha l'alm . people declare that the Tueo
system does not meet the architect's speci
fic atlons In many ways and that since
their system la lower in. price by $40f, that
they should tie awarded the contract.
Mr. Pickard nay no has a letter from the
l'alm system poople In which. It is as
serted that the. Tpee system Is not really a
vacuum system a al.
Both , Mr. Plckard and O'Connor now
say they are wiling to see both machines
In operation and near all poslble of both,
and to then decide which Is best. They say
the signing of the contract .will be post
poned Indefinitely.
The l'alm people say they will ship one
of their alu sweeper machines to Omaha
and put It In working order so that the
best macnlne may be chosen by compari
son. . ,, .

Different Floors As.lane to the arl

to lie Hrateal.v . ,
Disposition of the office spage In the new
l'nion Tai-lflo headquarters building has
become quite a problem with the local of
ficials. Several times plans of placing the
various departments of the road have been
outlined only to be changed later.
Announcement Is made that the following
la the probable manner of placing the head
quarters' force In tbe new home. The first
floor will be given to the paasenger depart
ment and to the land colonization depart
ment, as these are the two offices which
have much to do with the general public.
The executive, operative and transporta
tion offices will have the second floor, the
generul manager's and the gerferal suerln
tendent's office being given spacious quar
ters. The freight department will hold the
third floor, with perhaps a part of the
claim department.
The fourth floor will be given up to the
tax, land and the purchasing departments,
these hree forces not having the number
of men a the others. The fifth floor will
house the legal offices and here will also
probably be another part of the claim ser
vice. The sixth floor will have the most
of Its space taken up with mechanical of
fice men and there may be a part of this
floor used for keeping records for Im
mediate uses.
The auditing, accounting end treasury
departments, which are together In one
sense, will have the largest apace. Thee
three office forces will have the eight,
ninth and tentU floors and he floor left,
the seventh f'ocr, will be taken by the
engtneerl ig force. The eleventh and twelfth
floors will be rented
