NOT ENOUGH
MONEY FOR
NEW BRIDGE

Because the lowest bid for the
WestlRke av Improvement is SEA-
5b5.62 more than is available for
the work, all bids will probably be
rejected, alterations made in the
specifications and another call for

commended TO the board Of public
works this morning by City En-
gineer Thomson.
This viii mean that one or two
months viii elapse before the con-
tract can be awarded, aud viii

work over into the rainy months.
It will cause serious delay In the
completion Of the work. and will
greatly Inconvenience the people in
