Journed meeting and awarded the con-
tract for the construction of the super
structure of the Wabasha street bridge

The Milwaukee firms bid was 81, 500 less
than that Of ". A.. Lee, a local Contrac-
tor, and an effort was made to have the

even should Lee be awarded the contract
the only money which would be retained
III the city would be the profits on the
job, as all the material would have to be
purchased outside the city. This, togeth-
er with the fact that the Milwaukee firm
WAS ths lowest bidder and the concern
responsible one, settled the question.
