HIS SUBWAY BIDS TOO LOW.
Graham wants 10 withdraw Them and
May dset Permission.

The Public Service Commission had
intended at its weekly meeting to-day
to make the awards on the bids for the six
sections OF the Fourth avenue subway In
Brooklyn, but action will probably be de-
ferred until next week because Of a request
received from James p Graham. the lowest
bidder for two OF the sections. to with
draw
Mr.. Graham, whose contracting work
according to information which has come
to the knowledge Of the commission has
hitherto been confined to the laying Of
sewers in Bensonhurst and other surround
ing districts Of that territory. offered to
build the first section Of the subway ex-
tending from Nassau street to Willoughby
street. and the fifth section running from
Tenth street to Twenty seventh street,
at price which was nearly 81 .OO0. 900 less
than the next lowest bidders and about
$i.OO000O less than the highest bidders
on those two sections.
Mr. Graham had q talk yesterday after
noon with Chairman Wilcox Of the Public
Service Commission and Il was learned last
night that Mr.. Graham appealed to Chair
man Wilcox TO be allowed to withdraw
his bids without having to forfeit the de-
pOSltS. lt WIS H9CeTtaineQ Inat Mr.
Graham had informed the chairman of the
commission that in making out his esti-
mates he had neglected to include in his
calculations several important factors,
and that should he be held to his bids the
result would mean a big monetary loss to
him.
The likelihood is that the commission
will to-day give to MIR. Graham the relief
he has appealed for. The commission has
for several days past been considering the
advisability Of awarding the contracts to
Mr.. Graham. Some of the members OF
the board have urged that Graham should
be kept to his bid or made to forfeit his
deposit while other members have advo-
Gated the rejection Of the bids made by
Graham.
This situation which has arisen in the
board will be sslved to-day by permitting
Graham to withdraw his offers.
The second lowest bidder on the Nassau
to Willoughby street section is Rogers
d Haggerty. whose bid was $l.374,OOO,
against Graham's 81, ,020. 478, and in the fifth
section. from Tenth street to Twenty
seventh street, where Graham offered to
do the work for 81, ,413 835. the second lowest
bid. was 81 ,945 $40. which was put in jointly
