CITY DECIDES TO BUY SEAGRAVE EIRE TRUCK After Much Discussion, Coun cil at Special Meeting Yes terday Afternoon, Passed McDonald Resolution After spending hours of heated dis cussion at two meetings on the mat ter, city council at a special meeting late yesterday afternoon by a vote of i> to fi decided to purchase the equip ment for the new fire station on The Hill, Company No. 1 rom the Sca giavi Klre Engine Company, rather than from the American-i-aKrance Fire Engine Company, although the I lire committee, wr.ich had been em powered with the authority of rec ommending to council what type of machine to buy, had favored, by ma jority, the purchasing of the Ameri can-LttKrance. It will be recalled that Monday af ternoon at the regular monthly meet ing of council it was decided to have each of the two companies send a machine to Augusta to undergo a tesi In the. eyes of experts trorn the National Hoard of Fire Underwriters- The 1-aErance people agreed, but the representative of the Seagrave stat ed that he would have to consult with his headquarters before he could accept Buch a proposition. A motion was passed to give him time to corn i municale with his headquarters. McDonald Resolution. Yesterday alternoon at the special meeting of council, Councilman J. W .McDonald offered a resolution authorizing tne clerk of council to contract with the Seagrave factory tor the two SO-horse. ower fire apjgt ratus, the terms of the contract be ing the samo practically as orig nal ly offered. The following was the vote: "Yeas' —Vaughan, lioyce, Barnes, Kent, Mc- Donald, Smith, Harrison, Woodward and Martin—ft; “Nays"—lrvin, Allen. Haworth. Pilcher, Moore and Mayor Hayne. Council thus rerinded Its action of Monday to have the two comuanies send engines here for trial tefTTs. It whs argued In hIH resolution that It was unreasonable to require the com panies to send machines here, for ihey would have to build outright lire i iigines according to Augusta's Bpect flcatlons and the company losing the contract would not only lose the con tract but would he at a loss to the extent of whatever the inacnine cost. He said that the Seagrave and also the LaFrance had stood an official test in New York, report on which was read, In part, before council Monday afternoon. : Difference In Guarantee. When council voted on the Mc- Donald resolution to buy the Sea grave apparatus, every member of council stood on the matter as he oilglnally did except Councilman Martin, who explained that what at tracted him to the LaFrance machine was the live-year guarantee over the [ Seagrave's two-year guarantee, but he nau been shown since that the I.a France guarantee was conditioned on proper handling," where the Sea grave's was not Councilmen Allen and Pilcher, who voted against buy ing the Seagrave machine, staled that all things being equal, thev would have voted the other wav The I-a France price was $450 lower than the Seagrave's and its guarantee longer The Seagrave advocates con tended that the difference in I rice was made up in the lact that the lai France machine would develop Hie required 90-horsepower only when the engine was speeded up to an ex cessive rate, while the Seagrave would develop "ninety” at normal, and when the engine was speeded lux-horsepower could he developed. The ladders on the Seagrave appara tus were more durable than tnose on the lat France, it was said. At tempts -.ere made to have the price of the Seugrave reduced to that of the I.a France and also to lengthen the time of guarantee to five years, hut tioth motions were lost. A mo tion amending the McDonald resolu tion to read so that the payment would he the same as tinder the I*- France contract six months from time the machines are accepted, without Interest—was passed. Mr I.yon, of Lyon and Kelly, local agents for the Seagrave fire appa ratus, was present and staled that he would see that the guarantee was carried out to the letter The new apparatus will cost between $14,000 and $16,000.
