Incinerator Offers Because Checks
Are Missing.

Four bids Of the 10 received and
opened by the city council this after
noon for an lncinerator plant will be
considered by the commission because
but four of the offers were accom-
panied by certified checks for per
cent Of the amount Of the bids as re
quired.
Of those which we're accompanied by
checks. the bid of the Sparks Crema-
tory Construction company. was low,
$4,000 The Otto A. Elliott company
of Springfield. III. offered TWO propo-
sitions, one $4,000 and another STA 400.
The DeCarey company, Minneapolis,
offered a plant for $40 $50 and the Nash
vile Bridge company presented q bid
for $35, 900.
The six offers by companies which
did not send checks, and which will not
be considered by the council, accord
ing to present plans, were as follows:

Nine Of the 10 companies bidding
had representatives on hand when the

only four Of the concerns sent checks
