in many instances being unsatisfactory.
The only awards made were for some
small jobs of stone work on the roads, and
one or two of the larger contracts. The
remainder were withheld, and new propos-

work
notwithstanding there were an unusu-
ally large number of bids, several gentle
men anxious 10 compete Tor the work were
shut ont, by reason Of their not having
their proposals in within the time specified
