Yearbooks sold by government surpass million copies
The U S Department of Agriculture yearbooks, in print since 1948, have sold over a million copies through the superintendent of documents. In Cleveland, the Fire Department buys hose from Pamico Company. Acting Fire Chief Henry Peirce says the low bidder did not supply a sample showing reinforcing behind the nozzle as required. The hose purchase continues the city’s fire hose replacement program. The city expects the hose to last ten years under the high bidder’s guarantee, while the length of guarantee from the low bidder is unspecified. Although awarded, the contract awaits the city solicitor’s signature as council orders further investigation of the two products.
