SCHOOL BOARD IS UNABLE TO DECIDE
 ON LOWEST BIDDER
Question As to Whether Casey & Hurley or Fl. B. Green
 Gets Contract.

whether Casey & Hurley or IT. E. Green is the low bidder on the con-. tract for fire exits on the High school and some of the public schools will be decided by members of the board of education today. At the meeting last night the nrst firm presented two bids one for $3.z88, which was the loW- est bid for this work and the terms on which the board first granted to let the contract. Another bid was bids were presented was so involved however, that question arose. II. E. Green, who bid S3s848, felt his bid was low The members of the board will consult with Casey & Hurley again although they voted last night to accept that firms bid.
 An unavai1ing protest against the awarding of contract to place fire escapes on the High school and some public schools was made by Frank SeeIey of the Standard Manufaeturing GO. before the board last night. On
 motion Of Conmissioner E. H. Ravens of the board the contract for the fire escapes was awarded G. HaasInann 6 Go, of Ho1yoke, Mass, for S 400- This was thes lowest bid. The contract for the exits. lentils, etc. was awarded Casey 6 Hurley for s. 783.
 H. E. Green of Bridgeport question ed the bid of Casey 6 Hurley for the exits His bid was 33.e4e and as Casey 6 Hurley had a separate bid for $4 974 which included many extras not in the sDecihcatipnss MT Green thought he was low After a confer enee between Comnnlssfoners Havens,
 Webster and Challenger, the first named commissioner put the motion mentioned above. Then Mir. SeeIey
 made his protest. He said:
 My concern has a bid on the entire fire escapes and exits which is but $168 above the combined bids of these contractors to whom you are about to award this contract Tn addition we guarantee to complete this work %
 days sooner than these other bidders. Leaving aside the fact that we are a
 Bridgeport Mrm think the quick time in which we will do this work entities us to some consideration. You
 want these fire escapes placed as soon as possible.
 A representative Of G. Haasnann & Go was on his feet the next moment. Mir. President z he objected. your board has advertised broadcast for bids and we have figured this work at some expense and we come here in good faith asking that you award the contract to the lowest bidder. If our bid is lowest in all fairness you ought to give us the contract z Commissioner Ravens. motions were then unanimously carried. The bid lof Standard Manufacturing Co. was for escapes. S6. .765: for escapes and exits, s10, Al; allowance on High school fire escapes. s25. The Standard Manu- featuring Co. offered to do the work complete in 50 working days The other contracts proposed to complete the work in about three and one half months.
