Of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment

ing of asphalt paving were under discussion ana
the Mayor. after listening to report from the
Commissioners of Accounts said:
Il want to bring up point. In Washing
ton no bids accepted that exceed 81 square
yard, including foundations / hope that as low
a price can be obtained for this city
According to Engineer Lewis of the board. the
specifications for bids changed materially.
The old bios provided that all bidders should
show work done at least two years previous as
a sample This is stricken out. Other changes
provide ID that the guaranteed period snail
be five instead of ten years; (2) that the mate
rails shall be submitted the day of the oids
being opened instead of four days before thus
affording absolute secrecy. and 30 that the
specifications be much curtaied to techni-
calities calling only for the qualities of the ds-
phalt- ,-
After the reading of Chief Engineer Lewiss
report the Mayor moved that IL be referred BACK
to the Borough Presidents for their consldera-
ton and report. Controller Grout moved that the
presidents be guided by Engineer LeWlss au-
vice
Il think the Mayors motion that they be re
ferred back is enough" said President CdssiuS-
IL do not intend personally to be influenced by
these Commissioners of Accounts. How is IL
that they do not mention the esta bl1shment OF
a municipal asphalt plant now, as they dld olce
before? One of these commissioners was conf
