LET CONTRACT
FOR PENN ST.
Aldermen Award Paving Work
to Meagher & Smith.

Meagher and Smith, of this city,
we're awarded the contract last night
at an adjourned meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen, for the laying
of a brick pavement on Penn street,
between Hall avenue and Washing
ton street. The successful bidders
submitted the following proposal at
the alderman's regular meeting
Monday night: Fifty-four cents per
cubic ward for excavation, $3.50 per
cubic ward for concrete, $1.39 for
.Kusheaua brick, S1.59 for Metropol-
itan block, s1.38 for Shawmut
brick. S1.45 for Clearfeld brick and
fifty cents per lineal foot for curb
Metropolitan block was selected,
which places the contract hgures at
about $500.
Prior to awarding the contract an
opinion was read from City Attorney
C. C. Hommann relative to the le-
gality of the Meagher and Smith
proposal. The advertised specihca-
lions called for Metropolitan block
and the successful contractors sub
mitted figures on three other grades
of pavement. But, according to the
opinion of the city attorney, this did
not inYalidate the proposal ana ne
advised that the contract be award
ed to Meagher and Smith if said pro-
posal conformed with the specitica-
lions and was the lowest of the five
bids received.
Although the contractors present
ed figures on other brick, which are
of cheaper quality than the Metro
politan block, the aldermen selected
it as being the best.
On motion of Alderman Henry w.
Sandbeck, Jr., 1t was decided to au-
thorize the committee on fire to have
a hub break placed upon the hose
wagon of the Lincoln Engine Com
pany, and the light committee to
erect a light in Keene street. This
latter question has been before the
board six months, MI. Sandbeck
declared.
