YORK CALLS FOR SI4,75O.OQO.
Contracts for FiUe Sections of
Brooklyn Tube Ararded.

Just fortnight from the date of the opening
OF the bids for the contracts the six sections
Of the Fourth avenue (Brookyn) subway the Pub
lie Service Commission yesterday afternoon award
ed the contracts for five of the sections No
10 6. In each the contract was awarded to
the bidder whose aggregate estimate on the cost
Of the railroad work and the pipe galleries was
the lowest. The award of the contract on Sec
ton /. from Nassau street Willoughby street
was not made owing the expressed reluctance
Of James P. Graham. the lowest bidder, to have
his bid considered by the commission. The success

On contract No. ) Mr. Graham had put in a bid
for the railroad work 6S5 more than $50
lower than that of the bidder that
particular item. but the commission decided that
it had no discretion except 10 reject the bid. be-
cause Mr.. Graham had failed to put in al estimate
on the pipe galleries
The award of the contract on section No. l was
held up for a few days. mainly because of Mr.
GTahams earnestness in seeking have his bid
Withdrawn. When the bids opened May
II was discovered that the total of Mr. Graham's
figures for the railroad work and for the pipe gall
leries was about s375, 600 below that of Rogers &
HaggeTty, the next lowest bidders. The publica-
tion of the comparative figures is said have
virced interests who had promised Mr.. Graham
financial support that the work would result in
loss
At any rate, Mr. Graham let the commission
know that he was not only willing but anxious
have il disregard his bids. Yesterday morning. with
his counsel, he appeared AT the meeting and
planned his position. The commission not alto
sether pleased with his change of opinion. and he
was frankly told that he should have considered
the matter more carefully before submitting bid.
As soon as the contract for section No l has
been awarded all the contracts will be forwarded
to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for
approval. and the actual start of the work will
depend the action taken by that body and Con-
troller Metz
The bid of Westinghouse. Church. Kerr & Co,
Incorporated which stated fixed price for the
work. received careful consideration from the
missior but though the corporations proposition
TO build the entire subway actual cost and
pay-as-yOu-go basis was regarded one of con-
siderable merit, it decided that it would be bet
ter TO make the awards the estimates of actual
cost figured out beforehand.
When told last night about the awarding Of the
contracts for all except the first section Con-
troIer Metz said: That is a funny way. They
are going build the end Of the subway first, are
they? Well, those contracts have still to come
before the Board of Estimate
