COMMISSIONERS DEFEND
EASTERN HIGH CONTRACT

The District Commissioners. in
their answer filed today in the Dis.
trict Supreme Court to a rule to
show cause why they should not be
enjoined from awarding contract
for the Eastern High School to any
other contractor than George Hy'
man, declared they exercised discre-
ton and Judgment in awarding the
Job to George Il. f. Wynae, con.
sidered by them the lowest bidder and
capable of doing the work to the
best interests of the public.
The court is asked to dismiss the
proceedings. Justice Bailey will hear
the case tomorrow.
The Commissioners point out that
the difference between the two bids
is not $15,SO0, as alleged by Hyman,
but is only $1,000. They declare that
both the municipal architect as well
as the Assistant Engineer Com
missioner reported adversely on the
Hyman bid, and recommended the
acceptance OF the Wynne offer.

believed that the third Meeting will

At that time supporters of suffrage

When it is void of laughter;
So instead Of knocking-you should

For laughs are what we're after.

But there's no use of making a
