| The Lowest Bid for Installing the
Plant Was $41 900.

The Treasury Department is engaged this
afternoon in opening proposals for INSTALL
ing an electric and power plant in the new
city post office. There are thirty or forty
bidders, and each bid frequently contains
a number of separate proposals. OF the
bids already opened the lowest for INSTALL
ing the complete plant is $4,000. The bids
range from that to $1,000 Royce Il
Marean are among the local bidders.
1t will he some time before the contract
is awarded, owing to the multiplicity and
completely of the bids. The shortness of
funds won't delay awarding the contract,
as there is sufficient money on hand to go
ahead with that.

DISMISSALS TO BE RECORDED.
The Civil Service Commission to
Adopt n New System.

Adopt n New System.
The civil service commission has decided
to institute a new system of bookkeeping
in connection with appointments under it.
Heretofore the commission has kept a
record Of appointments by states. thus
apportioning the appointments SO as to pre-
vent some states getting more than they
were entitled to. No record. however, has
been kept of the discharges. designations
and transfers. Owing to dismissals, &C.,
the probability was that some states would
soon be short of the number Of appoint
ments they are entitled to.
BY the new system Of bookkeeping each
state will be credited with dfsmissals, &C.;
AZ well as charged with appointments.
