II the voters Of Aberdeen, at the
bond election August Z. approve the
issue. Tilden will supply the first
100000 shortly after that election.
The balance of the 100000 will be
furnished as required by the city.
Five other companies put in bids,

Aberdeen bonds was spirited.

Aug. 2, 1915.
Editor Aberdeen Herald:
"In serving on the joint committee
Of five appointed by Mayor Phillips
to consider the bids made for our
proposed bond issue and to report
back to the Council our recommen-
dations, want the public, for whom
was one Of five to represent, to have
my reasons for declining the Tilden
bid.
"At meeting of the Council held
the week previous, the bid of the
Lumberman's Trust company, of
Portland, offering q $4,000 premium
for the 100000 Bond Issue, $4,000
Of the bonds (if the bond issue car.
ried at the election) to be taken over
at once and the balance to be paid
to US in lots Of $4,000 at our option,
was discussed.
"This bid was criticised on the
ground that we had no assurance that
the deferred payments Of the bond
issue would be made to US. particu.
larly II the bond market should again
become demoralized, a. 1t was at the
outbreak Of the European war. Mr..
Camp. representing the Lumberman's q
Trust company, replied that we held
their certified check for 5000 as evil
dence Of their good faith to live up
to their contract.
"Mr. Patterson stated to the Coun-
Gil that such a contract with any
bond house in the country was not
worth the paper 1t was written on.
"The sense Of that meeting was
that the full proceeds Of the entire
bond sale should be paid in imme-
diately, SO that the money to see the
job through would be in hand before
starting the work.
"Mr. Camp then suggested that the
city attorney prepare form Of bid,
which was satisfactory to the coun-
Gil, so that all the bidders would be
bidding in q uniform manner. The
matter Of receiving sealed bids was
therefore put over until the following
week, at which time our committee
met to consider the bids.
I'VE found that four Of the bids,
namely, The Dexter Horton National
Bank Of Seattle and their four asso-
ciates. John e. Price & Co., Carstens
& Earles, Inc. E. H. Rollins & Sons,

representing Sidney Splitter & Co., Of
Toledo. Ohio; Smith & Paschall, were
the only bids made in compliance
with the form drawn by our city at
torney, while the other two bids Of
r. N. Grant & Co., and Geo. H. Ti,dsn
& Co.. did not conform with the city
attorneys form Of bid. I stated to
my associates that II this was an
advertised bid, we could only ccnsia-
er the bids that were in form, and
that, II we had had a change of heart
during the past week and now thought
the delayed delivery of bonds was a
better arrangement for the city thfn
delivering the issue all at once, tn t
the only fair action to take, in ilis-
tice to those bidders who had con-
formed to our city attorneys form Of
bid, was to reject all of the bids and
prepare form that we were willing
to adhere to and then call for new
bids, so that all Of the bids would be
uniform and competitive.
Let me call your attention to the
fact that when the committees re-
port, recommending the Tilden bid.
to the council, was read, Councilman
Egerer asked Mr.. Tilden what assur.
ance we had that the deferred pay
ments would be made to us a. We
required them. Mr. Tilden replied,
"You have our certified check for
$5000." In other words, the terms Of
delivery Of the Tilden bid were pre-
cisely the same as the Lumberman's
Trust company's bid Of the week pre-
vious, that was SO criticised, except
that the Tilden bid made this pro-
viso: that whatever bonds were un-
delivered by July !, 1915, that Tilden
had the option to accept or reject
the balance of the bonds at par and
accrued interest, which would mean
that If we had only taken 100000
of the bond issue up to that time.
that only two-fifths of the premium
would have been paid US and that
on the remaining 100000 of the
bonds taken after July 1st the city
would receive no premium.
III the foregoing, in the judgment
Of the public, is not SUFFICIENT to jus-
tify my refusal to recommend the
Tilden bid, l will be glad to explain
to them where the Lumbermanh
Trust company's bid Of premium of
$10.075 was, in my judgment, bet
ter bid than Tilden & Co.'s bid Of Z
