As the bids on the municipal garage that have been submitted exceed the appropriation of S15,0 900 the commit given power to again open bids, at a meeting of the common council last evening. The report submitted by the committee follows:
 "Your committee to whom was re- ferred the matter of procuring plans and specifications and bids for the erection of a city garage, has com piled with said request and hereby submits copies of the plans and speci- fications, which shows that in the final decision they increased the size of the garage between 20 and 9 per cent more than was contemplated when they were appointed and have required practically a fireproOf structure.

These factors tended to raise prices much higher than they would have been under ordinary circumStances.'
