CONTRACT AWARD
WAS 'FRAME-UP,"
OCONNOR SAYS
Unsuccessful Bidder for Irving
ton SCavenger Job Threatenes
to Sue Town.

Alleging that he was a victim of a
''frame-up." Michael O'Connor. Of Irv-
ington, whose bid, though the lowest.
for the scavenger work of Irvington,
was rejected by the Town Council has
announced his. intention of suing the
town. Mayor w. L. Glorieux and some
of the councilmen say they had a per-
feet right to reject the bid. They claim
that when O'Connor had the contract
before the work was not performed
satisfactorily.
THE whole thing was a frame-up,"
said O'Connor last night. "They never
intended to give me the contract and
used every means they had to keep 1t
away from me, after the Mayor and
one of the councilmen had promised
me their support if my bid was low
"They have kept me in suspense since
the first of June. but, knowing that my
bid was low, l bought six horses so
that l could start the work as soon as
the chance came. I had the job once,
when they let 1t out for a year at
time. There was no money in 1t then.
"Wahler's time was out the last OF
June" O'Connor continued land they
advertised for bids My bid was $4,000
and the next lowest bid was $19,275.
When the council met on June they
read the bids, but mine wasn't there
and they let the contract. Later they
discovered it and then declared the
matter off until the next meeting. I
had my surety ready. He was P. J.
Bowers, of Newark. and presented the
bid at the next meeting. and then they
decided that they wanted two sureties,
Irvington men. on the bond. They de-
clared all bids off and the matter went
over until Tuesday night.
Mayor Glorieux had promised to
support me and so had Councilman
Henry H. Osborne, and on the strength
of their promises I bought horses and
got ready for the contract. And then
they turned me down. 1 shall certainly
try to enforce my legal rights in the
matter.
1--WE awarded the contract TO Wahler
because he did better work." said
Councilman Lacombe last night.
when O'Connor worked on the scay-
enger route his men neglected their
duties and when citizens objected they
swore at them and were Objectionable.
Wahler is the best man We ever had
on the job"
'I was in favor of giving O'Connor
the job" said Councilman Osborne last
night 81 told him that would do all
that I could for him and he told me
that the Mayor had promised to help
him. l did not vote at the council
meeting because saw that they were
going to give 1t to the other man."
