Row over Pail Bids.
! A communication was received from
c. B. Wilson, attorney-in-fact for J. II.
, Wilson, who requested that the ten.
ders for repairing the Pail road be re
advertised for. declaring that the time
given had been so short that contract.
ors had not been given a fair opportun.
ity to bid on the job. The time for
filing the bids closed at noon on Satur.
day They were advertised for but
three or four days ago. Wilson had
also to say that the specifications were
very vague and that he found 1t din.
cult to get copy.
Lucas was indignant and declared
that a man who asserted that he had
not had ample opportunity to consider
the bids did not know what he was
/ talking about. He was trying to run
great big BLUM and should be called
down. He thought the letter from
Wilson a reflection on the Board OF
Supervisors.
Lucas Is Indignant.
"I'll be damned II I'm going to let a
man OF c. b. Wilson's stamp take me
TO task on any such proposition" said
J Lucas. II guess he can't tell me my
+ business. He's had every opportunity
to put in his bid along with the rest.
He has had the same opportunity as
the rest. When he says the specifica.
lions are not in order he lies. don't
propose to have man OF Wilson'S
stamp saying that | don't know my
business. Any man OF any intelligence
can read the specifications and under.
stand them. Belser, Cotton and White.
\ house have bids here and enclose Ger.
tilted checks for $500 each. There
has been no injustice done to anyone.
Mr.. Wilson Is familiar with the work
to be done. He told me this morning
that all he wanted was an hour or SO
to get his bid In shape"
Whitehouse Gets Contract.
Adams remarked that c. b. Wilson
had signed the communication for his
son and his son was not at present on
the island. THAT is the reason he
wants II put on" said Adams.
During Lucas remarks the Chair took
occasion 10 suggest that he be less
personal and strenuous In his language.
The letter was placed on the table and
later the bid OF Whitehouse was ae-
eepted. The bids were as follows: Cot.
ton Bros, s1.33 per lineal foot; Lord
