stormy marital career OF Mrs. Wynetta

day by the application OF Miss Cornelia

MAY STOP SUBWAY BID
Engineer Questions Contract
Says Builder Lack Experience.

II. G. Opdycke. an engineer, represent
ing Roosevelt & Co. the Goelet estate
and John Wanamaker. has written to the
Public Service Commission questioning
the ACCESSIBILITY of awarding the contract
for the constructor OF the section of the
Broadway subway between Houston
street and Union Square TO the Dock Con
tractor Company, the lowest bidder. The
commission has never awarded a single
contract to other than the lowest bidder
and hesitates to break its rule.
The objections made by Mr.. Opdycke
are that the company has never had any
experience In subway or other similar
work of large proportions. He says that
the next lowest bidders are so near the
figures of the Dock company as to make
IL about as advantageous to award the
contract TO one OF them. considering their
greater experience.
The bids were made on the unit system
and the official totals have never been
made public. The unofficial estimates,
however, place the bid Of the Dock Con-
tracing Company at t2,57S,0oa Of Oscar
Daniels e. Co. at 2,650.0Oo and OF the
Degnon Contracting Company at 2.I35,OO0.
