CHECK on COLLUSIvE BIDS.
Comptroller Has a PAn to Keep Crooked
Employees Out OF II.

Comptroller Metz thinks he has a plan
Tor doing away with any chance If collision
In bidding on city contracts. The plan
Is embodied in an ordinance introduced
in the Board Of Aldermen providing for
duplicate bids, one copy to be. deposited
in a receptacle to be known as the Comp
troller's Estimate Box This box will be
opened by the Comptroller himself on the
day after the regular bids are opened, II
there is any difference in the figures the bid
must be thrown out.
The Comptroller has heard that a fight
will be made on this by the Aldermen, but
he hopes that it will be passed In a state
ment given out yesterday the Comptroller
said;
Il am a firm believer in the removal OF
temptation, and as the bids on city con-
tracts are now made and opened there is
room for all the harsh thinas that are ~
often sai1. Charges are repeatedly made
that employees work in collusion with
bidders, making il possible TO chance tiglres
on a bid after it has been officially received,
With a duplicate filed in the Z omptroller's
Estimate Box not to be opened until the
day after the original lids are opened,
such a thing would ! e impossi le.

posi- ilities for a dishonest employee and
a contractor who had a working agreement.
