ton would be viewed as something OF
national calamity. At the annual nleot-

That need for new money is taken more
as an operation to recoup the company

pressed in Section Of the Act and
the legislative will OF the city as ex-
pressed in the ordinance OF 1870. The
latter must succumb TO the former.
The solicitor for the complainants
advances the suggestion that there
was not a full conflict, for, he con-
tended, 1t might we'll be that the
ordinance could stand to the extent
OF requiring that proposals be public
ly invited. and in the benefit OF nego-
tiations as, IL was claimed. was con-
templated by Section 5. at the same
time secured by the Departments
bargaining with the lowest bidder.
Indeed. It was also suggested that
the ordinance might prevail 10 the
extent of requiring that bids be pub
, licly invited, but disregarded In the
matter of awarding the contract to
the lowest bidder iu case il would
be more to the interest Of the city
to do so.
These suggestions are not sound.
i II bids are invited and the lowest
bidder ascertained it is not TO be
| expected lNdl ne WNulu ut ItthNn-
sive to bargaining or compromising
at a lower price than his bid The
Legislature surely did not contem-
plate such a possibility when It en-
ployed the language il did in Sec
ton 8. And. too. the ordinance cam
not be divided in its operation. II a
proposed purchase must be after
publicly inviting bids, it must also
be from the lowest bidder. Once the
ordinances is applicable. Il operates
to the fullest extent. and. the bids
being invited. the contract cannot be
awarded TO one OF the higher bid
ders.
In view OF the foregoing. the pre-
liminary injunction will be dissolved
