Omaha daily bee., 1906-08-02

Hector left at once for Omaha to inform /
Mr. Murphy Of the result Of the meeting. /
Therefore some of the late RISING people i
may perhaps be Weakened by the clang |
OF the scrapers. There Is no doubt that 1t /
will have been welcome sound.
who Are sewer Bidderss
The mystery Of yesterday around the city |
hau was: who are the Denver Building /
and Construction company" So far no
one has been able to answer the question /
In a satisfactory manner. The clerk knows I
simply that a man representing himself to |
be Fred Mullen Of Denver placed his bid |
for the contracts. and It is his name which |
is signed to the personal checks which were
offered as an evidence Of good faith. The
city engineer knows still less Of the firm. /
1t was hoped that the firm would put in an
early appearance, for there Is one discrep-
ancy already which may be a fatal check
/ to the validity Of the bid. The contract
! calls for a certified check, whereas the
checks offered, aggregating $3.50, are all
/ personal checks. 1t was openly limited that
| Hugh Murphy and ex-County Commissioner
Mcdonald were the personnel of the COM
/ pany, but Mayor Hector sail last evening
/ that he had questioned Mr.. Murphy espe-
/ cially and that he had denied all connec-
| ton with the company, stating that his
Denver branch was under another name.
! He declared he had heard of the Denver
/ company of the name given. but had not
considered 1t a strong company; but from
! actual knowledge was unable to say that
| II was not responsible company Several
weeks ago it was rumored that a number
Of South Omaha men were about TO form
a construction company to bid on the new
sewers. In certain quarters II is broadly
limited that the Denver company is in
reality a South Omaha syndicate In dis
Ruise No one was able to say as much,
however, nor to name any South Omaha
man who was connected with the enter
prise 1t has appeared a trife strange to
| some also that the Union Stock Yards com
pany, which has shown such decided in
terest at the outset, has made no public
move since the bonds were voted. So far
as known, they have not shown any inter-
est in the letting of the contracts. Mayor
Hector last night expressed sincere hope
that the company would make good, but
said he knew as little about the company
as any one.
