WANT TO SAVE
ON BRIDGE PLANS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. oct. 6.-Commissioner
Garmean, in Levy Court yesterday af-
ternoon, fought to upset a practice OF
the Levy Court having local architects
draw plans for bridges and then have
bridge companies ana contractors pro-
pose for the work.
"It is nonsense to go to this expense
and subsequent trouble" said Mr.. Car
mean. "when bridge companies ana
builders all over the country have
stock bridges or patterns and can much
better submit their own plans. Why not
save all this extra expense to the coun-
ties?"
Because OF n wide variance in the
bidding for the new 1856 feet Carters
Bridge over the headwaters Of the Chop
tank. the court decided to throw out the
bids and readvertise. adopting Mr.. Car
means suggestion that each bidder sub
init his own plans in detail. the COM
missioners to adopt that which they
deemed best under all the circum-
stances.
Several bridge men in attendance took
Commissioner Carmean to task. but he
held his ground and declared that If the
present bidders did not care to propose.
there were others who would. The bids
which were not accepted were:
