of Clarke & Son.

The Commissioners have accepted the bid
of VIM. Writ Clarke & Son Of Baltimore
for furnishing the bulk of the terra Gotta
sewer pipe and other material for sewer
construction required by the District. The
bids of VIM. Writ Clarke & Son and OF the
Potomac Terra Gotta Company Of Wash
ington were identical for the bulk of the
terra Gotta piping required, aggregating in
each instance $19,s2O. On the remainder of
the supplies. however. the Baltimore COM
pany's bid was about $50 lower.
The Potomac company proposed to the
Commissioners that since it is a local COM
pany the Commissioners should award the
contract for terra Gotta piping to the local
firm, in view of the fact that its bid was
the same as that of the Baltimore firms
on piping.
In reply to this proposition Col. Biddle
states that the committee on awards. con-
sisting Of the engineer of highways. super
intendent of sewers and the superintendent
Of property, recommended that the contract
be awarded to the Baltimore firm. whose
bid on the greatest number of items involv
ed was the lowest. Col. Biddle further
states that the sample of pipe submitted by
the Baltimore firm was considered of bet
ter quality than that of the local firm.
Contracts for furnishing other sewer ma
terial were also awarded to Lamond
Brothers and the Savage Fire Brick Com
pany.

at an early hour this morning, which for a
