aldermen were present.
The mayor stated the purpose of the
meeting was to consider the reports
of City Attorney Ellis and b. W. Rit-
ter. The city attorneys report was as
follows:
To the Honorable City Council, Du'
range, Colorado.
Gentlemen: AS requested, have
investigated the matters submitted at
your last special called meeting and,
in reply thereto, will say:
First. In regard to the law govern
ing rejection Of the bid of the Fisher
Dempsey Cons. Co, have no further
advice to offer. than that heretofore
given
Second. Regarding the apparent diff
ference between the petition for side
walk improvement district No. ! and
the specifications for the work, It APP
pears the petition calls for two to
| one" mixture; and the specifications
| call for three to one"
1t is claimed by sundry citizens that
two to one" is the proper mixture
and that three to one" would make a
walk which would not endure. This
is an engineering question, which |
do not pass upon; but from the legal
standpoint, would say that the Phoenix
Cement Sidewalk company offers to
substitute two to one mixture for the
three to one, thus making their work
conform TO the petition.
Our own supreme court has never
passed upon this exact question. The
courts of other states, have done SO
and there is a marked difference in
holdings upon the subject. Some
courts hold that 1t is permissible to
grant a contract for the superior ar
ticle, because no one Is injured there
by. The property owners get a better
article than was bargalned for in the
specifications, than the exact article
petitioned for. While other courts
hold that the variance In the speci
fications and bid, from the petition
would result In a non-competitive biz
even though property owners are thu
gamers thereby.
Under this condition of the law, /
is my advice that the resolution &C
cepting the bid OF the Phoenix Cemen
: Sidewalk company, should be rescind
, ed: all bids rejected, and that there
a upon. such further steps be taken a

MADE FROM GRAPES

OF all the fruits that grow to give
sustenance and nourishment to man
kind, the grape is the most famous. A
favorite subject of the poet, this
healthful, luscious fruit has from the
beginning Of time been celebrated in
song and story. Therefore it is a
pleasure to know that to the grape We
are indebted for some Of the finest
foods that go to our table, for from
the grape is derived Royal Grape
Cream Of Tartar, the chief ingredient
and active principle of the world re
nowned Royal Baking Powder.
While the connection between bak-
ing powder and grapes may seem re-
mote. it is evident to those who know
that cream of tartar exists in all ripe
grapes. from which 1t is directly pro-
duced in the following manner:
Flowing with the Juice Of the grape
from the press, the cream of tartar
gradually separates therefrOm and
settles upon and adheres to the sides
of the casks. It is subsequently col
lected. boiled and purified with water
Crystals of cream of tartar, white and
very pure. are produced specially re-
fined, and ground into an impalpable
powder This forms the Royal Grape
Cream of Tartar from which Roya
Baking Powder is made The exclus
i've employment of this pure fruit acii
| has aided in rendering Royal unique
| in the baking powder world. adding
| as it does, the delicious flavor and
wholesome properties which are char
acteristic Of all food made with it.

"Our idea in this is to prove to the
