IS so pointed and the evidence upon
which it is based is so significant as
to create an immediate demand for a
thorough investigation.
Mr.. Cary charges that the contracts
were not let to the lowest responsible
bidders, but to parties whose bids were
$4,000 higher than the unsuccessful
applicants for the work. In reply, the
Commissioners state that the unsuc-
cessful bidders did Tot comply with
the specifications sea forth in the ad-

1t is entirely probable the people OF

saving, the Commissioners should not
base their decision in awarding the
contracts on any technical issue. Or
the other hand, if their action was
justified they viii surely be able to

European monarchs, chief among whom
are the English King and the German
Emperor, should create a new bond
of good will and scatter the clouds OF

The time is ripe for such a happy
