GLAZING DISCREPANCIES
IN STATIONERY BIDS.
Small Items at Low Cost, but
Large Ones ExOrbitant.

Discrepancies in the bids for sta
tionery received last night by the COM
mittee on printing and stationery of
the Common Council were almost as
numerous and as large as on the &C.
casion of the last meeting of the com-
mittee, when all bic were thrown out,
in accordance with the advice of City
Counsel James r Nugent. The COM
nittee instructed Document Clerk
James Taylor and his assistant to tab
Mate the bids and confer with City
Auditor George Forman and City
Counsel Nugent pending a special CONF
mittee meeting prior to the Council
session ~next/F'riday night.
The trouble was the same as &C.
Cured when the bids We're opened be-
fore. The prices quoted Oh articles
which the city used in small quantities
were very low and those on the large
items high. making the total favor
able to the bidder. Alderman Taylor
suggested that the bidders be notified
that the city would place orders for in
dividual items with the firms which
presented the lowest bids for those
articles instead of giving the lump
contract to n one dealer. That, he
said, would insure balance in the bid
ding.
