with which the Democratic Lesi.nturc passes bills
without careful examination. and the equally reckless
haste Of Governor Flower in signing bills at the
solicitation Of Senators and Assrmbym without

Dock Department has built about the island. Mr..
Andrews was accused OF improperly favorng the
successful bidder for the work. John ID. Daley
whose hacker Is Thomas j. Dunn, Tammany leader
of the XXth Assembly District There was. 1t Is
alleged. no public competition in bidding. but Mr.
Andrews sent notices to thirteen contractors picked
out by himself The result was four bids. They
were made by Daley whose bid was lowest: MI
chael H. Whalen, Sanford Ross and Thomas r..
Crimmins The contractor must file a bond FOR
$4,000 IT is said that the Specifications were so
prepared that Mr.. Daley easily obtained the job.
The appropriation for 1924 for doing this work. as
inserted by Board OF Estimate In the provisional
budget for 1884, is $4,000. II Is snug sum to
be disposed of without going through the form or
public letting. as is required by law.
Mr. Andrews. replying yesterday to the charges
against him, said that they were Incorrect and
misleading in several particulars. He explained In

spoken to me regarding Mr. Daileys obtaining this
work. Two OF those who bid were personal friends

TO serve either Of them. But as Mr.. DALEY was
the lowest bidder and is entirely responsible. the
