ONE ON THR CONTRACTOR.
Differed With Mayor Kilduff on the
 Blanks Sent Out.

blanKS sent OuL.
 There was sharp tilt last night be- tween Mayor kilduff and Contractor Pidgeon over the form of blanks used in making out proposals for contracts on city work. MT Pldgeon's bid and one of Edward McManus were rejected on the ground of informality, nu aduring the discussion that took place over the matter Mir Pidgeon stated that on the blank sent to him the word "manhole" was marked out, although the adver- tisements called for the construction of manholes. Then the mayor looked over the bid and after examining it carefully informed Mir Pidgeon that he was very much mistaken. This reused tie contractors ire and he re- marked. sharply that he had made q statement and he wanted to prove it. In order that there might be no mistake about 1t MT Pidgeon was given permis- sion to look over the bid, but he failed to find anything the matter with it.. The mayor told him he had better pay the cigars and call it square, and MT Cairns said that he might just is well admit the mistake and that nobody would think any less of him for the blunder The contractor made a great mistake, saw 1t, but he was so mad he forgot to offer an apology. When the mayor called for the cigars Com- missioner Blakeslee remarked, jocose- ly, that he didn't drink, to which the contractor replied that while this might be true he thought he had other redeeming vices.
