SQUABBLE ABOUT SUPPLIES.
The Tribune Job Printing company and
II other bidders for furnishing school sup
plies for the coming year presented a pro-
test to the board against the action taken
by the committee on school supplies in
regard to the bids. In the protest it is
stated that il was required by the board
that all bids should be in before noon on
TUESDAY. June p, and that The bids must
be strictly in accordance with the samples
furnished by the board. The protestants
then go on to state that they believe
that the committee did not follow those
requirements, but allowed bid 10 come
in the next day after the time set and
after the other bids had been opened, and
further allowed the parties making said
bid TO submit their own samples, which in
every case were different from those re-
Quired by the board.
The belated bid was made by the Moser-
Burgess Paper company, of Chicago and
was, excepting in a few items, accepted
by the committee. The petition turther
says that the committee held that some
of the samples submitted by the Moser-
Burgess Paper company were superior TO
some of the samples furnished by the
board. however that may be, and whether
the committee was competent to judge or
not, the petitioners 90 HOT profess 10
know, but they do allege that in one
large item especially the 100000 sheets of
manila paper, the sample was inferior.
The petitioners claim that in the action
of the board in accepting the MoSer-Bur-
CESS Paper company's bid was unfair
and unjust to the other bidders, and the
petitioners protest against the allowing
of the bid in question and ask that the
lowest bids at the time of opening the
bids called for in the proposal be ac-
cepted.
Considerable discussion was had on the
point and ii appeared that the Moser-
Burgess bio came in after the other bids
were opened. that it was much lower than
the others aud to them the committee
recommended that the contract be
Giauque moved that all bids be rejected
and that new bids be solicited. II was
stated that if time. p days was taken
TO readvertise for bids the supplies could
not be here in time for the opening of
the schools.
Giauques motion was lost by a vote of
five. to two, Newman and Giauque voting
in favor of the motion.
The committees report was then
adopted, Newman and Giauque voting no
and Nelden. although he signed the con-
teSteeS report, was excused from voting.
