bridge matters and asked the court TO
issue writ Of mandamus TO compel
them to readveritse for bids and let the
work to the lowest bidder. The district
court refused TO issue the writ and Cook
has appealed TO the supreme court. Ine
supervisors rejected all bids and resolved
that they would build their own bridges,
alleging collision between bidders, of
whom there were seven, and also that the
bidders on previous contracts had not
treated the county fairly.
Cook brought his action under the law
which says that all bridges costing more
than 500 shall be let to the lowest bid
der. The commissioners set up that they
could save the county money by having
the work done under their own direction.
