HIS BID WAS TOO LOW.
NEW MANNER OF AWARD
ING CONTRACTS.
Representative Duvall Is Turned
Down BY The Road Board
-Threatens Legal
Proceedings

AZ the meeting of the county com.
mlssioners this morning there de-
veloped condition of affairs aud a
clear evasion of the conditions sur
rounding the law which calls for the
advertising of work TO be done for the
county. The affair is of such a nature
that the courts will probably be called
upon TO settle the matter, which is
liable Co cause more OF less trouble TO
the County Commissioners aud the
road board.
Mr.. Frank Duvall, state representa-.
tive, threatens that if the Commission
ers proceed with contract which they
have made through the road board he
Will begin injunction proceedings to
ascertain on what grounds contracts
eau be let TO bidders whose bids are
much higher than others.
Thus far the only reason advanced
Tor making a contract at high rate
as against one much lower is that the
lower one was too cheap and that the
bidder would be unable to do the work
at the price given. There is some
talk that injunction proceedings will
be superseded by quo warranto pro
ceedings TO get the matter into the
court IN advance of the time when the
Some time since the road board ad-
vertised for work on the county road
They wanted bids for working with
the road machine. The lowest bidder
was Mr.. Frank Duvall who offered
TO furnish the horses aud men neces-
sary at $3.50 per day. There were
other bids. but among the number
was that of A. p, Hayman, who agreed
Co do the work for $40 per day.
Mr. Peter Jones, chairman of the
board, opened the bids. Instead of
awarding the work to Mr.. Duvall at
the lesser price, he awarded it to Mr..
Hayman. When Mr.. Duvall question
ed him as to the reason for proceeding
in that manner, he stated that he did
not think Mr. Duvall could do the
work for the money asked that it
was too low. That was the first time
MIR. Duvall had ever heard OF work
being refused because the price was
too low. and when he recovered his
breath Mr.. Jones had gone.
Mr.. Duvall appeared at the Court
House this morning in an effort TO as
certain just what would be done in
the matter, but could secure no salts
faction. He then stated that IL tho
county proceeded with the contract he
would begin proceedings to ascertain
by what right it was possible to
award contracts to a high bidder when
the lowest bidder is one who is sup
posed to get the work.
Mr.. Duvall stated that he paid 1876
times as much taxes as Mr.. Hayman.
and thought that he should receive
some consideration at the hands of the
Board. There were many whispered
consultations about the corridors of
the court house this morning with
reference TO the matter but there
seemed to be no change in the condi-
tions as found by Mr.. Duvall.
