TROUBLE OVER CONTRACTS
Protests Against Bids Accepted by
the Board of Public
Works.

It was decided by the board OF pub
lie works yesterday to let the contract
for the construction Of water mains TO
P p. Ford. whose bid was SI9.319 Ia
bidding Ford said he intended using the
PittsbUrg, Pa, Ludlow valves and hy-
drants. and the board was notified by
telegram that these are heterogeneous
on the patents Of the Ludlow company
of Troy, n Y Ford offered to substi-
tute the Troy product, but this was
considered an amendment Of his bid
so the contract was let to him with the.
understanding that should any difficult
ty arise over the use of the PittsDurg
hydrants and valves other makes can
be ordered substituted by the city en-
gineer-
P J Moran, whose bid was SIS. S98.
VIII, Il is said, protest to the city coun-
ell against the confirmation Of the let
ting Of this contract to Ford, claiming
that neither Ford nor the city engineer.
nor the board OF public works intend TO
make use Of the specific material desig-
mated in the bid, and that its accept
ance is a sham and an evasion. He viii
also claim that as between himself and
Ford ne was the genuine lowest bid
der.
Rudolph s. Bloom & Co. and Palmer.
Tate & Co, who were knocked out by
the Utah FireprOOhng company We'd
neSGay, have drawn up protests against
the confirmation by the council Of ths
letting OF the artificial stone contra ct
to that company. asserting that the
board Of public works did not fnvesti-
gate the ability of the Utah Fireproof-
ing company to furnish the material
necessary to do the work. They also
claim the bid OF the Utah FtreprOOfnE
company was signed with a rubber
stamp, and not by the officer Of the
company in the regular way.
The airing of these grievances prom
lSeS to make Monday nights session OF
the council a lively one.
