Judge White, of Pittsburg. rules that
the city ordinance requiring bidder for
the performance of city work to be in
good standing as an employer of labor is
against the law relating to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, because its enforcement
would defeat the law which was passed
to insure work at the lowest price. The
Judge says "Bids should be free and
open to all competition, and contracts
awarded to the lowest bidders without
limitations.and restrictions imposed by
said ordinance" Good sense and good
law are not infrequently synonymous
terms.
