They Will Not Forfeit

A report has been in circulation to the
effect that Franklin & Alexander have dis
covered their street sweeping bid to be too
low, and would therefore forfeit their con-
tract. Concerning the report, Mr.. Frank
lin said yesterday:
I'VE have a 5000 certified check up "a
guarantee that We will enter into the con-
tract with the city. and before the week is
over we will have up our bond for 5000
guaranteeing that We will properly fulfill
the terms of the contract. We are now
negotiating for brAnd-new. up-to-date ma.
chinery from the east. All these rumors
are started by spiteful parties. and there is
not grain Of truth in them. We've fought
for the contract; we've got 1t, and well
give Los Angeles people genuine clean
streets when our contract begins"
