SUIT FLED TO

Twenty Fifth street. today was filed be
fore Judge T. J. Noll Of Superior Court,
Room >. by Edward J. Robson and
Helen p. Robson, who own lot with a
sixty-fOot frontage on the street.
The petitioners allege that although
more than one half Of the property own
ers have demonstrated against the pro
posed resurfacing Of the street. that Il
was announced by the board of works
prior to the fling Of the remonstrance
that it would be ''disregarded." The suit
alleges that the board members have dis
regarded the remOnstrance and propose
to continue with the Improvement Of the
street unless restra med by the court.
The petitioners ask that the board of
works he temporarily restrained and then
on final hearing be permanently en-
Joined from proceeding further with the
Improvement.

figures with Mr.. Vogelback's figures led
to a long discussion without any appar-

much longer than the life of the con-
tract and the high prices" charged, are
said to be the high lights of the exam
ners report.
At present the back room in the office
of the county clerk resembles a station
cry store Compartments under the coun
tiers are loaded down with books. blanks
and election and primary supplies. 1t Is
admitted the county commissioners have
nothing to do with the election, primary
and registration supplies as the election
boards have exclusive jurisdiction over
these supplies. But the fact remains that
at present there is abundant proof Of
over stocking" the county clerks office
with supplies. In this way hundreds Of
dollars OF the taxpayers money are tied
up needlessly for a great length of time.
The State board of accounts is con-
siderlng a recommendation made by the
field examiners which would tend to
make uniform the schedule on bids for
county printing. In every county in the
State it is understood, the contractor has
been in the habit of fixing up his own
schedule to be bid on at the time the
contract is let 1t is admitted the present
system of bidding makes it impossible
for the contractors to observe any uni
form method of bidding.
NEW FORM WOULD
BRING COMPETITION.
If the new form of schedule, which the
State board is considering, is adopted.
it will render possible free and accurate
competition in every county in the State,
it is declared 1t will enable firms to
make intelligent and fair bids on various
office supplies.
1t is pointed out the proposed sched
ule of bidding would render impossible
the changing Of any items or putting
the same article in the contract under
several different names.
There are ninety two counties in the
State and under the law. the commission
ers advertise for bids or the first Mon
cannot be awarded until at least ten
day in December of each year. Contracts
days after the bids are opened In vigo
County the practice has been to take the
bids under "advisement." 1t is pointed
out the law should be changed TO permit
the commissioners to ask for bids on the
first Monday in November and permit
the commissioners not TO award the con-
tracts for at least thirty days. That
would aid in the commissioners receiv-
in gmOre bids and so increase COMPETE
ton over the entire State.
