COMNISSIONERS OF PAVING DIS.
TRiCT NO. =. LET BIG JOB TO
LOWEST BIDDER.
MAY USE A FILLER
Shelby and Bateman Bid Nine Cents
Less Than Philpot and Co., On
Asphalt Filler.

While on the face of the bids as
published submitted by the various
paving firms who sought to get the
contract for the paving of BarraQue
and Pullen streets to Bellwood and st.
Joseph's cemeteries, awarded to
Shelby and Bateman, Little Rock %
tractors, on Wednesday, it would APP
pear that Philpot and Company SUBJ
mitted the lowest bid. When the bids
are one into, however it is clearly
apparent that the firm that received
the contract presented not only the
lowest, but the best bid of the many
contractors who were after the big
job.
The commissioners of the new paw
ing district-No. 27-the board being
composed of William Nichol, Clifton
Howell and M. Silbernagle-gave each
bid the closest and most careful con-
sheraton and awarded the contract
only after they were assured that the
bid was thoroughly reliable and that
the contractors could be relied upon,
to faithfully perform the work left
to them.
The bid of Philpot and Company
was $60,695, and that of Shelby and
Bateman 59,962. These bids include
the asphalt filler that may be used
between the %creosoted blocks. The
commissioners may decide to use the
asphalt filler to protect the pavement
against any swelling that sometimes
occurs when water get N under the
blocks and sometimes when the heat
of the sun causes them to expand.
The creosoted block pavement on
Olive and Walnut streets is protected
by only a layer Of sand which is not
considered as durable as the asphalt
filler.
Shelby and Bateman bid 6 cents a
cubic foot less than Philpot and Com
pany on the curb and gutter and 3
cents less for the asphalt filler.
Both firms put in the same bid for ex-
cavations-thirty cents a yard, and
while Philpot and %Company's bid for
blocks was less than that Of Shelby
n Bateman, the latter firm offset
this In it's bids on curb and gutter
and asphalt filler. The bid Of Shelby
and Bateman on the concrete bridge
to be placed over Brump's Bayou was
$5,712, while Philpot and Company
bid $5,495. 'E
These two firms We're the only con-
testing firms for the contract, the
other bidders being entirely too high,
after the former bids were presented
to the commissioners.
