Bristol hose bid dispute raises town spending questions
Editorial discusses William Hodgkinson, former National India Rubber Co official, who questions why his bid for about 1200 feet of fire hose was not accepted. He claims his hose was as good as the 1250 feet bought last May at a $187.50 saving, and offers to compare samples at 65 cents a foot with the town paying 80 cents. The piece outlines bids, committee members, and the financial implications of the firing hose purchase.
