These bids were all left to the con-
sideration of the constructive commit
tee, and the commission will meet again
in few days to give the result OF the
deliberations. The Belgian firm which
was expected to bid on the iron work
and office construction at such low fig
ures, had no bid in, although the firm
asked by letter for plans and specitica-
lions on which to base bids. W. u.
Myers and W. H. Jones were commit.
tee from the Minneapolis stonecutterS'
union, present to endeavor to have the
stone work done in Minneapolis. They
were particularly bitter against the
firm of E. f. GOebel 81 Co., of Chicago,
which, they, claim has the majority OF
its work done by convict labor. They
entered formal protest, together with
| a petition from the union.
There is considerable doubt as to what
kind of stone should be used, as it will
cost about $4,000 more to build OF gran
| tie than of the cheaper grades OF stone.
| At meeting of the builders exchange,
held yesterday, vote was taken on the
matter, which stood 80 to 8 in favor OF
granite. The commission is anxious
that taxpayers of the city should voice
their sentiments in the matter, that it
may do what is best for the general
public. 1t was the opinion of the mem
bers that the bids on stonework were
lower than had been expected. Some
of the builders specify that the stone
work shall be cut in Minneapolis, while
others wish to have part of the work
done at the quarries and the balance in
| this city. There are such vast num-
Der of details to be considered in con-
nection with the bids that 1t will be a
somewhat difficult matter for the COM
mittee to decide between them.
