CRITICISED

pose to Ignore the
Law
BIDS SHOULD Be ASKED FOR

to Ask for Proposals
BIOS SHOULD BE ASKED FOR

There has been much adverse COM
ment among business men today in
regard to the action OF the Democratic
members of the Board OF Water Com
missioners yesterday. The work OF
laying large water mains from the
pumping station to the new reservoir
on Weidin farm. which came up for
discussion at the meeting yesterday
afternoon, revealed n plan on the part
OF President Peter j.. Ford TO do this
work without asking for proposals.
1t Is stated that the cost Of laying
pipe will involve the expenditure Of
between $4,000 and 100000 and Il is
urged by both Mayor Wilson and
Harry a. Miller, a practical plumber
OF this city. that the work can be
done much better and with a large
saving Of money by submitting bids
to responsible contractors and receiv-
ing their estimates upon the same.
LAW IS PLAIN.
The law creating the Water Depart
ment is so plain on the subject Of
asking for proposals for all work
done by the department. when prac-
ticable, that the suggestion to have
C done In any other manner has re-
vived rumors which have been floating
around for some time TO the effect
that the work would be done IN a man.

Job for political purposes. Mr. Shaw Is a
most practical man and IS the best quail

this fact his motion TO receive bids for

approval Of tho other members Of the
