Bids Advertised For.

After the ordinance is finally conformed
the city engineer is instructed to adver-
tse for bids for the work authorized in
the ordinance. These bids are received
by the city engineer, and are opened by
the street committee in open session. The
committee then reports to the city eoun-
ell with recommendations as to the
awarding of the bid. The street committee
never considers less than two bids for
single contract
Should the city council accept the
recommendations of the street committee
as to the bids, which Is usually done,
the contract is then signed. When the
work Is completed the assessments by or
dinance are ascertaned and a time set
for making the same final Again the
property-owners have the right to appear
before the board and be heard as to the
assessments against their property, if they
do not think the same Is correct
Later the assessments are confirmed,
and then are made final. 1t is then ND to
the property-owner to pay the same. But
before contract is let for public i'm
provements in Birmingham It is necessary
by law to first have the bonds for the
work guaranteed, unless the ordinance
provides for sanitary or storm sewers.

Public Improvement Laws.
Very few people in Birmingham clear
" understand the public Improvement
laws of the city which are Incorporated
in the city charter approved February %,
| 1899, and amended February rs. 1901.
In order that a public Improvement
! ordinance can be legally adopted 1t Is
necessary for it to pass through several
channels. The property owners along
street avenue, who are in favor of
improvements being made, first file Pc
! tition asking for the improvements. with
one of the aldermen from their ward.
This petition in turn goes to the street
committee of the city council, and after
1t is passed upon, the city engineer and
city attorney are instructed to draw up
the required ordinance providing for the
work, the same to be handed in at
meeting of the city council to be held
two weeks later The ordinance is then
placed in the hands of the street COM
mittee to be introduced. 1t Is then put
on its first reading and goes to the judici-
airy committee to be reported on as to
the legal form. Two weeks later the ju-
dietary committee renders Its report on
the ordinance, and If II is in proper form
1t Is placed upon it's first, second and
third readings and final adoption. A
time is then set which is two weeks later
always. for confirming the ordinance. Or
the date set for confirmation, the proper
ty owners affected by the improvement
ordinance are given an opportunity to en-
ter remonstrances and protests. They
appear before the city council and after
being heard the body votes to either con-
firm or reject the ordinance.
