DOUBLE DEALING DECLARED D.
SERIOUS CHARGES BY MR..
JOHN W. ARMIGER.
Claims That Work Was Started
By The Successful Bidder
Before The Bids Are
Finally Opened.

Charges that a bid was accepted over
an hour before it was opened and that
work was started ON the contract be-
fore the other bidders ON the work
could have an opportunity of knowing
who was successful were made in
open session of the meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners this
morning.
Mr.. John W. Armiger, one of the
bidders, and who, it happened, was
the lowest one, charged that there had
been underhand dealing on the part
of someone and that he was not given
a fair deal in the matter. He intends
TO find out just who is to blame and
why it is that the contract was let 60
another when he was the lowest bidder
Some time since the County Com
missioners advertised for bids for the
repairing of Eastport bridge. It was
stated that the bidders were TO call
between 2 and 3 o. clock last Friday
afternoon to ascertain who had been
the successful bidder. One of the
bidders was John x. Knadler. He
agreed to do the work for $35.
John W. Armiger, an expert carpen-
ter, also put in a bid. agreeing TO do
the same work on which Knadler bid
for $I5, subject TO such inspection as
the commissioners might demand. AL
though his bid was the lowest, Armiger
did not get the work, it being given
to knadler. Just why he was given
the contract and how it happened that
Knadler was preparing to proceed with
the execution of his contract over an
hour before the bids were opened, is
what Armiger was trying TO get at
this morning.
Mr.. Armiger stated to President
Brooke of the board that he had call
ed at the office of the board of COM
missioners shortly prior TO Friday of
last week and that Mr.. Brooke was
not there. Mr.. Brooke replied that he
had opened the bids but few minu-
tes before IL o'clock and had given the
contract to Knadler about O'Clock.
Then it was that Mr. Armiger let off
small bomb. He stated that he knew
tor fact that before IL o o'clock Knad-
Ter was taking his tools to the bridge
TO do the work and that it was almost
an hour before the time stated by Mr..
Brooke the bids had been opened. He
said that he thought it a funny pro-
ceeding that a man should know he
was going TO get the contract before
bllo DAue WOAO OHCnCu huu bildo nO
should be given the contract when his
bid was more than double that of the
lowest bidder.
To this Mr.. Brooke was unable to
make any reply further than that he
did not know how Knadler could have
had any advance information on the
subject. He said that he had awarded
the contract to Knadler because he
had agreed to do work other than that
on which Armiger had bid, although
the specifications had not demanded
more than Armiger bid on. Mr..
Brooke also tried to discredit the
statement of Mr.. Armiger that Knad-
Ter had made plans to do the work be-
fore the bids were opened. He said
that Mr.. Armiger was probably mis-
taken as to the time and must have
been imposed upon. To this Mr.. Ar
niger replied that he had reliable
witnesses to support his assertion and
would produce them at the proper
time.

NO SMOKED MEATS.
Charles Koch Refused Permission
to Occupy Stall In The
City Market.

After going TO great expense and
trouble, investing much money and
time and mapping out line Of bust
ness which he thought was in strict
keeping and harmony of the law, Mr..
Charles Koch seems TO be for Ridden by
law or an official from conducting his
business.
Recently Mr.. Koch purchased the
site and plant of the glass works in
Eastport and stated that he was GO
ing to esablish large abattoir. Now
he finds that he will have no oppor-
tunity of disposing Of his meats unless
"a ruling which Mayor Jones has made
is set aside This he will endaevor
TO have done. Mr. Koch bad a stall
in the market house in that section
which is reserved for the particular
use of meat dealers. For time he
was undisturbeI in his sale Of smoked
meat.
1t has now been stated that he can
not operate a stall in the market for
the sale of smoked meats as the stalls
should be used solely by those who
engage in the fresh meat business. II
he cannot sell smoked meat il is claim
ed that he will not open any stall.
Just where the opposition against him
developed he does not know. The
abattoir is rapidly being completed
and in very short time will be ready
for business. 1t is expected that il
will be able to dispose of many head
of stock per day, which will be
shipped to Baltimore for the most
mart

discuss the financial situation of the

the sum of $500 in all has been raised

BILLS AGAINST THE CITY
EXCEED ASSETS.
The Situation In Which The City
Finds Itself At The Present
Time Without Any
Bright Clouds
In Sioht.
In Sight.

Such is the condition of the finances
of the city of Annapolis at the present
time that il is openly stated by those
who know that in another month,
nayhap another week, the paper of
the city will be discredited and will
be shaved to such an extent that IL
will no more represent the value 1t
nurports to have then than an oyster
bed containing nothing more than
shells.
The city is practically insolveDt, its
bills far exceed the assets, both present
and future and by what manner OF
means it will be enabled to pull it
self out of the bad hole in which it is
found is a question which the Sphynx
can as well answer as any one who
knows anything about the finances OF
the city. We're it business concern
that was in such financial straits 1t
would be closed up and forced into
involuntary bankruptcy by its credi-
tors.
1t was reported by Mr.. Charles H.
Russell, city treasurer and collector,
last night that the balance on hand in
favor of the city at that time was
but $463. 7S. Right after that many
large bills against the city were read,
one OF them for a lighting bill OF
SAL. SO, making the balance on hand
look like thirty cents. Then the suit
Of DIR. Campbell, which has been de-
cided against the city. will entail the
immediate payment of at least $500.
Other bills of various natures will set
the city back TO the tune of neatly
s2, 600, all told, with nothing in sight
from which to hope for relief and
other bills piling up with amazing
rapidity.
Fire Department equipment. which
is absolutely necessary, has TO be
purchased and there is no sinking fund
from which TO draw. The street
cleaning force is inadequate to care
for the large amount of work with
WHICH it is confronted, and yet no
help can be given it, AS the spring
comes on the need of clean streets be-
comes more pronounced. but those
who claim TO know all about the work
ing of the Council aud the lack OF
money with which the city is con-
fronted, state that it will be a great
surprise to them if it is not found nec-
essary to cut off the street cleaners for
lack of money with which TO pay
them.
