According to an opinion of City
Counsel Frazer the board will not be
compelled in the future to accept the
lowest bid on work advertised for.
The question was brought to an issue
through the bids on the construction
of sewer on Telford street between
South Orange avenue and the East
Orange boundary line.
The ZiZZo Construction Company
offered to do the work for $26,040, and
that firm proved to be the lowest bid
der. The next highest was Peter
D'Amato, who asked $2S, ,023. 1t was
the desire of the board to give the
work to the latter contractor, and
accordingly the opinion of the city
counsel was sought.
Mr.. Frazer ruled that the board
could throw out the lowest bid for
reasons. Acting on this ruling the
commissioners ordered that the rep
resentative of the Zizzo Construction
Company be summoned to appear be-
fore the board at it's next meeting and
show cause why it's bid should not be
rejected
Reading of Water Meters.
Monthly reading of water meters
was recommended to the board by
Chief Accountant David Holmes He
said the plan, which was suggested by
Commissioner Biertuempfel, was en-
tirely feasible, and that it would re-
quire sixty readers to do the work
Definite action may be taken on the
suggestion next Thursday.

Representatives of Louisiana
Strawberry Distributing CO.
Talk to St. Tammany Growers
Instructions Given as to Manner of Packing,
Handling and Shipping, and an Urgent
Plea Made For the Establishment of
Reputation For Our Berries.

P. W. Diendorf, chief inspector
and NJ. E. Varnado, both Of the Lou
isiana Strawberry Distributing Co
that will handle the St. Tamman.
strawberry crop, were met at th'
courthouse Tuesday morning by quite
number of the growers at the re
quest of Secretary Warner. The oh
! ject of the meeting was to gain in
formation as to the manner of handl
| ing berries for shipment. Abits
Springs, Vaudeville asd Madisonville
were we'll represented, and no dOub,
all felt fully repaid for the trip
Messrs. Diendorf and Varnado soon
made it apparent that the average
grower, il uninstructed, would make
mistakes that would greatly reduce
the selling price of the berries In the
market, and at the same time render
it difficult for subsequent shipments
to be received favorably.
In illustrating the manner and re-
quirements for selecting berries fo1
shipment few boxes were selected
from crate brought in from Madi-
sonville and re-sorted. While the
crate presented a very neat appear
ance, from the few boxes selected 9
pint of berries unfit for market were
obtained, and it was calculated that
under inspection, had that crate been
selected for examination, the price
would have dropped 10 an unprofit-
able figure and the whole shipment
been placed under suspicion. In
other words, that ii the shipper
would throw such berries away he
would be the gamer by half the price
Of the whole crate. This loss would
represent the risk taken to get paid
for pint of inferior berries.
The advice was given: Don't pick
fruit in the evening for shipment next
day, for it will not be fit for ship
ment. Get into the field early in the
morning. The dew will not hurt any
thing. But do not touch the berry;
pick by the stem, and remember
that the packer is the best inspector.
If he puts no inferior berries in the
box the inspector will never fine any
When sorting berries they should
have cloth under them SO they
will not get bruised, and they should
not be handled roughly or rehandled

new ORLEANS GETS
BASEBALL HUNCH
ON FOR BIG CROWD
HEDNAMANN PARK
While There Was a Record Breaking
Crowd for New Orleans, Birming-
ham Went Several Better and
Captured the Trophy.

New Orleans, April 14-Ten thou
sand six hundred and ten persons
paid admission to the opening game
of the Southern League seasan at
Heinemann Park yesterday after
noon. OF these. according to Presi-
dent Heinemann last night, only eight
remained away from the park, for q
check Of the attendance showed ten
thousand, six hundred and two ''cash
fares" passing the turnstiles during
the afternoon.
And ten thousand six hundred and
ten persons, in addition to the very
few who went on passes and the en-
ployees, saw the New Orleans Peli-
cans defeat the Barons of Birming-
ham, the champions of 1914. by the
score Of sevent to four. in q rather
but interesting game,
In which errors and heavy hitting
combined to score many runs and
provide almost continuous action.
Taken from the standpoint Of the
baseball expert, the contest was only
q mediocre exhibition Of the national
game. However. It is safe to say
that the game was enjoyed thorough
" by every one who saw It. and Its
result was pleasing to every one ex-
cept the members Of the Birming-
ham club and those visitors present
who hailed from Alabama.
Whether New Orleans .'Kops the
Kup," however, remains to be seen.
This will not be known until tonight,
when the returns from Birmingham
and Atlanta are known, Both oi
these clubs played away from their
home grounds this afternoon. but
will have their formal openings to
day. Then. and only then. will the
final result be known. Last might
the entire city was aroused over the
contest, and the newspaper Offices
were besieged with telephone re
quests for the figures. At the same
time, 1t was interesting to- note the
various guesses 40 to the actual at-
tendance. These varied by many
