THE WARD PAVING CONTRACTS


LII Will be remembered that up to the time Mr..
Bowen LETT office it was not possible by the most
dliisent enort 10 obtain the figures upon which
the awards were made on the first Of April for
paving, curbing, laying footways, Sc; and the
supposlton was that the contracts had been
given to Mr.. BOwen's political strikers, Din some
Of the wards at lesst.) in violation of the law
requiring them to be given to the lowest bid
ders. After much search we hare been able to
procure the figures las below upon which the
awards were made to the contractors, but have
te say that the bids made by the unsuccessful ap-
plicants for contracts cdRrot be found at the
City Hall, and the inference is that they were
destroyed by the Bowen ring before they left
office.
Here are the prices upon which tie contracts
