'HARBOR CONTRACTS
BEFORE COUNCIL
CONTRACTORS MAY DO
IMPROVEMENT WORK AROUND
NEwS-CoNTRACT LARGE.

NEWPORT NEWS. Sept. 5.--If the
recommendations made to the city
council by the special boat harbor
committee Lag. night are accepted
when the two branches OF that body
meet again. the contract for the
dredging out of Newport News creek
to make the basin of the enterprise
will be awarded to the Sanford Brooks
Dredging company and the contract
for the huikheads and municipal pier
will go to Alsop and Pierce. local con-
tractors.
When the bids were opened last
Saturday the bids of these two firms
appeared to be the lowest, but owing
to the complicated forms of the bids
time had to be taken In summing up
the bids to determine which were &C.
tually the lowest.
Sanford Brooks bid lowest on the
dredging and the committee recon-
mended the acceptance of that COM
panys bid for the digging out Of the
harbor. The companys bid was for
the pier also, but as the bid Of Alsop
and Pierce for the pier and buikheads
was several thousand dollars lower
than the Baltimore concerns the
committee recommended that the con-
tract for that work he awarded to
the local Arm. Aisop and Pierce did
not submit bid on the dredging.
The contract for the bulkheads and
pier will aggregate about s132.052. so.
