When IL was declared at the meeting
Of the Levy Court yesterday afternoon
that the lowest of the two bids re.
ceived at its meeting last week for the
repaintlng Of Washington street bridge
is about $1,000 higher than the amount
that The bridge can be painted for. II
was decided to reject the bids and re-
advertise for new bids for the work
Before this action was taken. however.
lengthy and stubborn discussion took
place between President Purks and the
members Of the court as to the justness
Of such action.
The bids received for the work last
week were: Delaware Paint and Glass
Company, S6,500 anil II. C. Clark. IS. 200
The matter was brought TO The at
tention Of the court by Commissioner
Burns, chairman Of the bridge commit
tee when he made a motion that the
bids be rejected and new bids be re-
advertised for, explaining that some
local painters have since asserted that
me work could be done for at least
$1,000 less than the lowest bid SUBJ
mitted. Assistant County Engineer
Charles f. Grubb said he was Of the
same opinion, and recommended that
the court readvertise for bids.
President Purks objected to the ac-
ton, holding that those painters who
have stated since the opening Of the
bids that the work can be done Inv
them at less cost had the opportunity
to submit bids but failed 10 do So.
otherwise, / would be one OF the
hrst to vote for the rejection of the
bids, but knowing this, I cannot vote
for IT, he said. lie was the only MEM
Der OF the court to vote against the
action.

Washington street bridge was awarded
TO John P. Reardon at his bid OF si3 sra
Mr.. Burns told the court Of the gen-
orally poor condition Of the bridge.
