erection of the partition that is to
separate the suite into three rooms.

the installation of a porcelain basin

CLAIM FIGURES
ARE EXCESSIVE:
Hall Avenue, Broad and Laurie
Streets Are Included
CITY WILL ADVERTISE AGAIN
Criticism of Condition of the
Streets Is Answered BY
Chairman Anderson

All of the bids received by the
Board of Aldermen for street i'm
provements at their last meeting
were rejected at an adjourned meet
ing of the board last night on motion
of Chairman Andersen, of the street
committee, and the street commits
sloner was authorized to advertise for
new bids to be received not later
than September 2. The bids rejected
last night were on contracts covering
the grading of Laurie street from
Groome street to New Brunswick
avenue and for the paving of sections
of Hall avenue and Broad street.
Four bids were received for the work
oil Laurie street and two each for
Hall avenue and Broad street.
Before the motion to reject the
bids and return the certified checks
had been passed Alderman Clark
asked to know the cause of the re-
lection. Alderman Andersen replied
that the high cost of the work was
sthe cause and that the city engineer
had SO stated before the meeting.
On the suggestion Of Alderman-at-
large Grouse the motion was amend
ed to include the opinion of the city
> engineer to the effect that the bids
were too high.
Alderman Clark then said that he
had figures furnished by the city en-
gineer when-4the bids were. first ad-
vertised for about two months ago
that $4,000 for Broad street and
$4,000 for Hall avenue were about
the right figures.
As both bids for the work on
Broad street were very close to
$4,000 Mr.. Clark said that he could
not understand why the board should
reject them. If they wanted to reject
the Hall avenue bids as excessive
Mr.. Clark said he had no objection.
Morgan F. Larson, city engineer,
replied that the figures with which
he had first provided the alderm en-
were drawn from a rough estimate
and that he had since concluded that
the work could be done much cheap
err He had accordingly advised the
street commissioner of that, he said.
The Democratic leader from the
Fifth ward then launched into an
attack on the street committee and
said that If the committee would
work together it could do the work
on Hall avenue itself. ITO say that
the condition Of some of our streets
is rotten Is to give them praise" he
said to the intense amusement OF the
other board members.
Mr.. Andersen explained the condi-
tion of some of the streets by saying
that he had just obtained the order
of the Public Service Railway Com
pany for the work on the tracks three
days ago and that he had now started
work of patching the holes. The
. street department would be glad to
do the Hall avenue work, ne said. if
1t had the money.
A motion by Mr.. Clark that the
street department do the work on
Hall avenue was defeated by a vote
as follows: Clark and Patten, yes;
Waters, passed; Andersen. Riedy,
Wilson and Grouse, no.
