In letter to Chairman Mccall OF the

day tn: they would oppose the awarding
Of the contract for the connection be-

manager Of the Interborough.
"Our examination of the bid submitted
by the oscar Daniels COMPANY wrote
President Shonts. leads us to believe
that that company has not the slightest
conception Of the difficulties of the work
or the dangers to life and limb that must

done on the present subway"
He called attention 20 the right OF the
commission to reject all bids or TO ac-

ment Of the commission best promote the
public interests.
THE consequences that may ensue are
Of such magnitude" he added. that We
request an opportunity 10 be heard before
the commission takes final action in
awarding the contract
Mr.. Shonts called attention 10 the fact
that the proposed contract provided that
before beginning any work in the present
subway the contractor must first obtain
the consent Of the lnterborough company.
This was looked upon by some as a
warning that the Interborough might not
give its consent 10 the oscar Daniels

tractor must give bond for 100000 10
