The District Commissioners have denied
the request of Mr.. Henry Wells that the
National Sand Dredging Company be
awarded a contract for furnishing the Dis
trict with gravel. Mr.. Wells claimed the
contract for his company because, as he
contended, it was in the aggregate the low
est bidder
The Commissioners state that the Dis
trict has never adopted that principle in
reference to the class of material involved
They also state that under the stipulations
they were fully justified in overlooking the
nformality of bidding company in failing
to submit samples with the bid, and in au-
thorizing the company to subsequently sub
NIT samples.
