The County Commissioners should care
nothing; for the men competing for this
work; they represent the public. If tho
public service can best be promoted by con-
soidating the whole job into one contract,
even if the total be something more than the
aggregate Of the fifteen: or twenty bids of
doubtful character made for the separate
portions Of the work, then they should take
the responsibility of so awarding it,. and
thereby avoid deluge Of separate clalms
for extras, and ayoid-what seems to be in
evitable in this case-the failure and breaking
down Of the smaller bidders. OF course
in letting :the whole work in one contract
full care should be taken that the contractor
is competent, is experienced, has the means
to DO the work, aud is personally RESPONSE
BILE and can furnish the proper guarantees.
In such case the choice will be governed by
the examination of the total outlay required.

in rejecting all the bids, and advertising for
new offers, to be acted on hereafter under
