construction of the Gunnison tunnel,
the principal feature of the uncompah-

The reclamation service considers all
the bids excessive and reported to the
secretary that its own engineers, en-
ploying laborers by the day, can build
the tunnel for 100000 less than the
lowest bid. For this reason the bids
were rejected and authorization given
for completion of the tunnel by day Ia

The first attempt TO build this tunnel
by contract resulted in failure, Taylor

award, failing to meet the terms of the
