Report from Committee
To the Police Jury of the Parish of
Natchitoches:
We, the undersigned committee ap-
pointed to investigate the bids this day
submitted for sale of bonds of Road
District No. 27 and the construction Of
road therein, beg leave to report as
follows:
We find that the bid of M. L. Bonner
can not be accepted for the reasons that
offer for bonds is far below par, and
the sale would be illegal and in contra
vention of the laws of the State.
We recommend that the bid of Smith
Brothers be rejected for the reason
that the prices submitted under esti-
mate are exorbitant.
We withhold report on bid of &. &.
O'Quinn and others for the reason that
their bid was to be considered only in
the event of sale of bonds.
Respectfully submitted,
