PAVING BID
ATTACKED
Losers in Creosot e
Block Competition
Set Up Wall

The low bid of the Southern Wood
Preserving Co. for furnishing the
city 10000 square yards Of creosots
paving block was attacked by COM
peting bidders when Commissioners
Fenkelrs recommendation came be-
fore the council committee on
streets. Monday morning.
r. Long & Son. local supply con-
tractors, In a communication TO the
committee set forth the following
FIVE reasons why the contract
should not be given to the low bid
der: That the plant OF the Southern
Wood Preserving Co. is not Of sum
cient capacity to supply 10000 square
yards under the terms of the Goa
tract; that the company does not
treat the blocks perfectly; that IL has
supplied imperfect blocks to Cincin'
natl and Miami. Fla, that the com
pany proposes to import teams and
labor from the south to deposit the
blocks on Detroit streets. and that
the company's bid Is not in regular
form.
Representatives OF the Ohio Wood
Preserving Co. and the Republic
Creosoting Co. also charged that the
Southern Wood Preserving Co. had
been allowed to submit two bids for
the Detroit contract, and that other
bidders were not aware that the
commissioner would accept bids on
less than 100000 square yards, the
maximum amount mentioned in the
specifications.
Ralph Spencer, OF the Dresden
Brick Co., local agent for the low bid
der, stated to the committee that the
Southern Wood Turning Co. would
Ale a suitable bond with the city on
receiving the contract. and that the
company would not import southern
labor. but would use Detroit motor
trucks and labor 10 distribute the
blocks on the streets.
Commissioner Fenkell refused 10
make comment ether- than 10
say all bidders had been given an
equal chance. The committee took
the matter under consideration for
one week. and meanwhile the object
ing companies will be asked to file
formal charges.
