The first glance at the bids
showed that Poe & Stebbins Bros
bids were by far the lowest but
one of the members of that firm
informed the council that they
had made a mistake in totaling
their bids and had failedto add the
item for raising OF lowering the
water mains and sewers, and man
holes and for putting in necessary
drains and moving telephone and
electric light poles and cross
walks.
The amount of these items total
&c $500 which should have been
added TO each of their lump sun
bids. This would make their bid
higher than the Two Mericle bid
on the lump sums for grading
curbing and macadamizing either
with or without retaining walls
aud they asked permission to with
draw their bid and their forfeit
