The city officials of East Chicago
who have been in attendance at the
hearing before Judge Virgil 5. Reiter,
in chambers, at which Colonel Red
mond j.. Walsh is seeking to have the
city officials permanently restrained
from entering into a contract for the
purchase Of furniture for the city hall
on the grounds that there has been
collision between the parties to the
contract and irregularity in the man
ner of making the purchase, are elated
today over the fact that d. ]. Moran,
the attorney for Mr. Walsh, admitted
in open court that the charges of col
fusion and graft could not be substan-
tinted.

city Must Advertise For Bids.

The arguments this morning were
pro and con as to whether the city
officials. acting as council and a
board Of public works, could enter
into a contract with the A. II. Andrews
Co without going through the regular
process which requires that the fol-
lowing steps shall be taken in max
ing appropriations for public improve
ments.
j. Plans and specifications must be
prepared
2 The city must advertise for bids.
g. The bidders must prepare an af-
fdavit declaring there is no collision
among them to have the contract
awarded to any one of them at price
agreed upon
The contention of Attorney Moran
and Mr. Walsh is that these neces-
sary legal steps have not been taken
and that the contract is therefore null
and void.
