REPORT.
The Committee on Streets and Landings have
examined the securities offered by the bidders 10
whom the contracts for the repairs of the paved
streets ofhe lst. ID, Sd and 4th Districts were adj
| juhicated by the Mayor the 9th ult.. and re-
| commend the acceptance of the same. believing
them 10 be sufficient in connection with the checks
and penalties prescribed by the specifications and
to De embodied in the contracts The securities of
tered by the bidders for the 5ih and 9th DISTRICTS,
have as the committee have been informed with
drawn, and if no o. her satisfactory security be ten
derrd prior to the next meeting of the Council tie
COMMITTEE will recommend that the contracts be
re-snld.
The Committee deem it proper to remark that the
repairs of the paved Streets under the late adiudi-
cation, will cost the Municipality $4,000 per an
mum more than the contract price for The last wo
years. Ii is true that by the terms of the contract
| the work will have to be done in better manner
| than formerly, and of course additional expense
| incurred; vetthe committee of the opinion that
the bids are high, and that the work could be done
well at less price, and would recommend thar the
contracts be resold, did not the imperative wording
ofthe law Of 1850 make it binding on the Council
TO accept bids, even at exOFhilant rates when
| once adjudcated.
The Committee see with much concern how La
BILE the Municipality is suf.r in the adjudication
OF contracts, under the operation ofthe law of 1885,
| and regret that they cannot recommend any pres
| ent measures that would be availabIe-as the only
| remedy lies with the legislation ofrhe State.
