May Sue City Official Over Fire Hose Contract Flap
The investigation into the Parker Building fire points to a probable city lawsuit against M. Francis Loughman Deputy Commissioner of Water Supply Gas and Electricity and the Windsor Fire Appliance Company over a 25.5 foot hose delivered by a private contractor. Discrepancies in contract specifications and testimony concerns fuel the case as Trenton United and Globe Company and other witnesses face possible litigation and adjournments. The issue centers on whether Sea Island cotton hose met requirements and who supplied the exact specs. The city may seek damages for the hose value and related costs.

Gould Optimistic on Railroads and Finance Prospects
George J. Gould expressed optimism about the railroad and business outlook, predicting earnings would stay unfavorable until mid July before improving. He credited changes in Texas political stance toward railroads and cited the Minnesota and North Carolina rate decisions as key factors. He noted Western Union’s expenses reductions kept net losses minimal, no floating debt, current bills paid, and cash on hand.
