that no action will be taken until after

1t was suggested that in about two
weeks the representatives of the filter

lit is possible that by that time the con-

The city council last evening opened
the bids for the construction of the
proposed filter plant, and all of the
proposals are $4,000 to 100000 higher
than it has been estimated that the
litter would cost. 1t is claimed the
bids are high because of eXorbitant es
Inmates for excavations, and because
of plans for a larger plant than is i'm
mediately required. The bids were no
read in detail, nor were the plans sub
mitted by the different bidders sub
mitted in detail, but the matter will
be gone into further at committee q
the whole session this evening
The council also heard propositions
from various engineers who wish t
be appointed as consulting enginee
filter plant. George p Prince of Den
veE who has been highly recommend
ed for the place, proposes to do tn,
work for 312 per cent of the cost, OF
$35 a day and expenses. Alexander
Potter OF New York makes a PROPOSE
ton of $25 day and $50 expenses
with limit of $3.50. for examining the
plans, and of 3 per cent for the super
vision of the construction work. Aller
Hazen of Hazen & Whipple of New
York makes a proposition of $500 ant
expenses for the examination of thu
plans. John w. Alvord of Chicago il
his application proposes to do the worl
for SOC day and expenses.
These applications are TO be eonsid
cred tonight, and it is expected tina
the council will appoint the consultin
engineer at this time. The understand
ing is that the appointment for tn
present will be merely for the exam
ination of the plans and specifications
and all that will be required of tn
consulting engineer under this appoint
ment will be report on the plans
specifications and bids for the quit
ance of the council. All of the eng
neers present good recommendation
but Mr.. Prince. has the advantage {
