COUNTY SUPPLY FARCE
All the Contracts Awarded Ex-
eept Hosiery and Dry
goods-An Empty
Wrangle.

Another act in the farce relative to the
bids for County supplies took place yester-
day afternoon at the meeting of the Board
of Freeholders. The Storehouse Committee
recommended that contracts be awarded to
the lowest bidder in every case except dry
goods and hosiery. They recommended that
all bids for these be rejected and proposals
readvertised for.
Freebooter Eichborn offered a resolution
that as errors had been found in nearly all
the bids, all be rejected and everything be
advertised for again and the contract be
awarded to the lowest bidder on each item,
the specifications to call for just what is re
quired.
Freebooter Bindernagle objected. He said
the committee had gone over the bids care
fully and all was K except the bids for dry
goods and hosiery.
Freebooter Cronin argued that it was not
Mr.. Noonan's fault if all the bids were de-
fective. His bid, after being corrected, was
low. and he showed here the contract. He
moved to award the contracts for dry goods
and hosiery to Noonan.
Freeholder Hanna said it had been insinu-
ated that the bids for these articles had
been tempered with, and it would be better
to throw them out.
Freebooter Green did not see how the bids
could be tempered with. When they were
received and read off. nearly all the Free
holders had taken the figures down.
Mr.. Cronin looked at Noonan's bid and
said it had not been tempered with or ex-
changed, for he had put his initials on it as
soon as it was received, and ths initials were
there yet.
Freebooter Riordan thought it was unfair
to single out one bidder that way.
81 am surprised" said Freebooter Keat-
ing. g that such an assertion should
be made. The committee did not intend to
single out anyone They found that so
many errors occurred in the bids for dry
goods and hosiery that it was to the interest
of all to reject them and readvertise.
Freeholders Klumpp, Groth and Cronin
wanted to know why.
Mr.. Heating said there were other things
connected with the matter that could not be
made public.
Freebooter Percy said that only the ar
ticles at high prices had been furnished on
last years contract.
"Well, some of the others went up today
said Director Heller.
Il know better" said Percy, "nothing
went up.n
Mr., Cronin's amendment to give a woman
the contract was voted down, he alone being
recorded in the affirmative. The resolution
to readvertise for everything was voted
down ID to Z, and by the same vote it was
resolved TO award al the contracts except
ing hosiery and dry goods, and advertise for
than.
