ALL BIDS REJECTED.
C0uncilmen Do Not Want to Saddle the
Cost OF Paving Mulberry Street
on the City.

Owing to a conflict Of terms in the
councilmanic measures preliminary to
the paving of Mulberry street, which
contradictions would be liable to in
validate the ordinance and mulct the
city In the cost of the Improvement. the
paving committee of select council in
a secret session last night decided that
the safest course would be to reject all
the bids and re-advertise under an
amended ordinance and specifications.
The petition Of the property holders
specifies "street asphalt" The ordin-
ance provides for STANDARD sheet as
phalt." The specifications say that the
material to be used must be Trinidad
pitch lake asphalt or Bermudez as
phalt" designating the deposits where
these particular kinds of asphalt are to
be gotten. The ordinance, however,
neglects to empower the city engineer
to be judge of what shall be and what
shall not be STANDARD sheet asphalt"
Consequently II a low bid was thrown
out because 1t did not contain a pro-
posal to lay either Of these asphalts the
property holders could attack the or
dinance Nn the grounds that the con-
tract as not awarded to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder. and the city would
be liable for the cost Of the pavement.
il. on the other hand, a low bid on an
asphalt other than those designated by
the engineer should be accepted, the
property holders might claim that the
work was not done according to the
specifications Of the city engineer. and
again the city would lay itself liable for
the $4,000 Or $6000O which 1t is osti-
mated the paving will cost.
AS there is no possibility of laying the
pave before spring, at all events the
committee concluded to recommend to
councils that the bids be rejected. and
after the petition, ordinance and speci-
ficatiOns are made to coincide, re-adver-
tse for proposals. Just what course
will be advised will be decided definite
ly at a meeting of the committee Thurs
day evening, preceding the meeting of
council. The majority sentiment last
evening was that whatever plan was
followed the first consideration should
be the safeguarding Of the city treas
urer.
