the Board of Public w Orks.
The board of public works and city coull-
I'll awarded the largest number of contracts
yesterday, so it was said that has ever been
let in any one day since the incorpor alton OF
The city. They cover various street and
lever improvements including few street
lprinkllng contracts. They number thirty
four, and aggregate expenditures amount
ing to S16S. 073. The bid of the Western
Asphalt company to pave Summit avenue
for SIS. 600 was laid over for four weeks.
This action was brought about through the
protest of large delegation or Summit
avenue property owners who appeared be-
fore the board, with w. 3. Dean to do
their speaking. Mr.. Dean was not assured
that the company would do good work. and
the Summit avenue people wanted no eX-
periment thrust upon them. President
Barrett forward the acceptance OF the bid
of the Western company, but agreed to lay
it over for further consideration. Dennis
RYAN. VIM. Constans. and j. Z. Gribben
are the sureties of the Western company.
