LONG BEACH, Sept. 6.-The city coun-
Gil met last night and opened the bids
for the construction of the wharf. The

Pedro, $13,700; r. E. Osgood, San
Diego, SIS, ,775; Ledbetter, Los Angeles,
| $4,000. The bids were referred to the
committee on parks, streets and build
| ings.
A special committee, consisting of
Messrs. Mintzer, Goucher and Wilson.
was appointed to inspect the plans and
specifications of the wharf, and to re-
port at the next meeting of the council
any necessary items that should be in
serted in the contract. The committee
on parks, etc., will probably report that
the bid of Darbey, Langdon & Co. be
accepted, it being the lowest. The
council adjourned until tonight.
The contract will be drawn up and
the bond furnished within few days,
and everything will be ready to begin
the work.
Mr.. Laydon, who is here, stated that
the company would begin the construc-
ton at once. Most of the rough mate
rial is on hand now. The people are in
no hurry to have the wharf finished inn
mediately, and no pains will be spared
to have it perfect in every respect.
There are generally several storms here
during the winter and the wharf will
have to be constructed beyond the
breakers before the storms arrive.
