! Notwithstanding your recent editorial
! in reference TO the wasteful expenditure
OF the city's money on the city Hall /
SEQ from your mornings issue that the
Committee on Grounds and Buildings,
which on last night awarded the contracts
for gas fixtures and metallic work, seemed
not to have needed the warning note
sounded by The Times.
Mr. James T.. Phillips bid for the gas
fixtures for the new building was $1,000
more than that of Mr.. John Bowers
Colonel Cutshaw. who, it seems Is gen
orally held responsible by the public, and
whose judgment is always asked, pro-
nOunctd the samples Of Mr.. Bowers bet
ter thar that of his higher and success
full competitors yet in spite Of that the
committee gave away $500 Of the city s
money. In the award for the metallic
files and shelves the bid Of MIR. II. NJ.
Starke was $3.50 less than that Of Mr..
Everett Waddey and although the city
Engineer stated to the committee that
the samples were nearly alike. ana that
there was no appreciate difference be-
tween the two manufactures, yet the
committee again decided TO iet $500 more
Of the city's money 90. a total amount
of & 100. The public is certainly entitled
to an explanation. In both cases the
city Engineer seems to be Of the opinion
that the city would have been as we'll If
not better off. had the several contracts
been awarded 10 the lowest bidders.
Whose duty is it to investigate this
matter? CITIZEN.
