City Council Meets
To Open Sewer Bids
WILL NOT DECIDE UNTIL MON
DAY EVENING BECAUSE OF
COMPLICATED OFFERS.
{l'rom SATURDAYS Daily.)

e.
The city council at it's special meet
ing last night, postponed letting the
contract for the construction of the
big trunk sewer, until Monday even
ing, when the regular monthly meet
ing will also be held
Bids were received from large
number Of contractors and supply
men, who nearly all had representa-
tives here, as well as representatives
of the various roads which hope TO
haul the sixty cars of supplies needed
for the job.
The bids varied grex!ly, and owing
to the fact that there were about
sixty items to be figured, it was found
impossible to complete the work in
one meeting. The figures ranged in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
The only local contractor bidding
was w. j. Curren. Owing to the fact
that he is a member of the city coun-
Gil, he found it would be necessary to
resign before he could take part in
the bidding, and his resignation was
presented to the mayor three days ago.
At last nights meeting, Alderman
O'Malley moved that Mr.. Curren's
resignation be acted upon before op-
ening the bids. The mayor refused to
consider the action for the reason that
the meeting was special one, to con-
slider bids, and other business could
not be taken up except upon the
unanimous vote of the council. Mr..
O'Malley then asked Tor vote, which
resulted five to two against the mo-
ton. Mr.. O'Malley then asked that
none of the bids be acted upon or op-
pened until the regular meeting on
Monday evening This motion was
also lost, and Mr. Currents bid was not
considered.
