FORD ASKS FOR INJUNCTION
Dubuque Contractor Seeks to Pre-

Charging that the contracts for paving

roads. let some time ago by the county
board, are Illegal, Michael Ford, one of
the competing contractors, has secured
a restraining order to prevent the work
being done rider the contracts.
Ford was the low bidder on both roads,
but because the board was afraid he could
not complete the work this fall, II took
the two jobs AVA from him and awarded
the first to the Katz-Craig Construction
company and the second to Z. d. Van
Court at Ford's low bid. s154 a lineal

Ford filed two suits in district court
Thursday. asking that the contracts be
declared void and that the County and
the contractors be restrained from doing
the work,
Ford is a contractor from Dubuque, Ia,
and came TO Omaha to bid after the board
had rejected a number Of bids last spring
because local contractors were bidding too
high. Ford was low man on four or five
jobs. He was awarded The work On Dodge

who We're from l cent to 5 cents higher
than Ford when the bids were opened,
offered to do the work this fall at Ford's
figure and the board accepted their prom
ositions. Ford contends. as he was low
bidder, the board had no legal right to
award a contract TO the others on his bid
without giving him a chance to do the
work.
The board ~justifies its action by the fact
that Ford has already secured permission
to sublet some of the work under the
contracts ne already holds.

1905 II is said that the reason the league
has been so late in making up schedule
IS that there has been a hitch regarding
the playing Of Sunday ball in Jersey City,
and the result is that there will be no

the Eastern League schedule the Union
League magnates win meet in the office
OF President al. w. Lawson in the

range a schedule which will conflict as lit

as the Union League has no desire to
antagonze the Eastern or any other
league in the matter Of dates
