their DIS " Ito tSiihS dho
conditions. an ordinance was presented
establishing a public market at the
northeast corner of Ninth and Los An
geles streets, and providing certain rules
and regulations for the government of
the same
In the matter of the petition of w. B.
Robb for the return of $500 forfeited
| by his failure to enter into contract
| to erect certain school buildings the
city attorney finds that the law under
which these buildings were built pro-
vides that notice inviting proposals shall
be published for ten days before the date
on which the bids are opened. He finds
further that the notice under which
Robb's bid was made was published only
| nine days. which raises a very serious
| question as to whether the city could
| appropriate and forfeit his check under
| this notice. The other grounds, says
+ the city attorney, set up in Robb's petit
ton as reasons why his check should be
| returned to him are of no weight what
| ever AS to whether the insufficient pub
| LEGATION of the notice to bidders would
/ entitle the petitioner to a return of his
| to determine. Referred to the special
school building committee.
