tract was deferred for one week and
the mayor appointed Alderman d. N.

dimensions of the yiaduct, did not de
fine in detail the materials 10 be used
in its construction. and several of the
bidding firms submitted more than
one set OF figures. the bids in each
case representing n different kind q
structure. On account Of the wide hat
itude left to bidders there was great
difference IN the figures as to the
cost OF construction. Some OF the bids
were, for n structure built wholly OF
concrete. others for 4 combination OF
steel and concrete and the cheaper
ones for steel viaduci with a wood
