Action of Board in Letting
Bridge Contracts is Being
Criticized
CONTRACT LET WITHOUT BIDS
Citizens Are Complaining That the
Board Awarded to NJ. NJ. Stark G.
Co. Contracts for $1,000 Worth Of
Work Without Asking for COMPETITIVE
Bids.

Because the board of supervisors
awarded to NJ. M. Stark 4 Co. of De''
.Moines. the contract for the building OF
six reinforced concrete bridges for a
price of $11,66730. without letting the
work in the usual competitive methods.
some citizens are asking by what right
the board had to so act.
Such inquiries and complaints have
been heard on the streets since the
news of the letting Of the work was
made public, and complaint of q SIM
liar nature has reached this office. in
the shape Of a communication.
Claim Work Was Let Without Notice.
1t is claimed, and so far there has
been no denial on the part of board
members, that the contract for The
bridges was let without any public no.
tice of the intentions of the board to
do SO. The T.-R. which tries to keep
in touch with the more important OF
the countys business which passes
thru the boards hands, was not aware
that the board contemplated letting the
contracts for bridges until the contract
was about to be signed.
Complainers OF the boards action are
asking why this work was not open to
competition so that local builders
might have been given a chance to bid
on the work. Those who ask this claim
say it is unfair to contractors of Mar
shall county to let this work be award
ed to an outside firm, without giving
them even a chance to compete for 1t.
Bueghly Gives Reason.
Supervisor Bueghly was seen Thurs
day evening, and asked about the let
ting of the contract without submitting
bids He said that the contract was
let the way it was because it was the
cheaper, for the reason that a con-
tractor furnishing his own plans could
build the bridges for less money. Had
the board advertised for bids, he said,
each contractor would have bid on the
same plans. and by using special plans
the work can be done cheaper.
One reason for this, the contractors
claim. and especially in the case of
arch bridges, the forms into which the
arch of the bridge are moulded, are ex-
pensive to make. while using their
own plans they have forms already
for this purpose. Also some of these
forms are patented. a-sa
Mr.. Bueghly was asked whether or
not the law specified that the board
must submit contracts to competitive
bids. Mr.. Bueghly said he did not know
whether the law compelled letting the
work by bids, but he did know that if
the boards method was wrong, it had
never been questioned before.
