Mr.. Nuckols could. or stated thai he
could. finish the building in six
months. while the other contractor
said he could finish II in ssyen
months
Building Inspector Beck advised
the committee to accept the bid Of
Wood. because it was the lowest, and
stated that the difference of one
month in the construction amounted
10 little. as few, contractors finish
their jobs in the specified time.
The committee did not see 1T u
abide by what the building inspector
said. although they knew that he was
conversant with the situation,
This matter will be referred to the
board tonight. and If 1t does not pass
the whole scheme will have TO &c
over to the coming year.
In short. Woods bid was Sis less
than that of Nuckois. But Nuckols
agreed to have the work completed

committee thought this sufficient &c
give the bid to the highest bidder
