foot of each dimension of iron and clay
pipe TO be used. and itemized price IN
ike manner on every detail of the work.
Ths total amounts stated simply repre-

cost of the work at the
prices named by him. The engineers
viii now figure out the cost of the various
items at the prices named in the several
bids, for the purpose of ascertainlng II
the contractors calculations are correct.
1t is the itemized prices for each portion
OF the work and not the totals Whlch Will
be binding upon the city and the contract
or The engineers hardly made begin
ming upon this work, and will be busy
with il all of to-day. Their Investigations
will be certain to show some discrepancies
in the calculations of the contractors, but
whether these discrepancies viii be sum-

the bidders cannot be told as yet. For
instance, 1t was discovered that the lowest
bidders, Messrs. Bryan, Delaney and Zipf
had put down $3.50 where they should
have put down SO 800. Their attention
was called to the mistake and 1t was
corrected, This will hardly alter
the standing of their bid, how
was for section D of plan l, which the city
will hardly contract for at present

upon each of which the bidders were re-
quired to give figures:
