LEGAL ACTION LIKELY ON
BIDS At SOUTH AMB0Y
tBy Evening News Correspondent

- @NNAAA
SOUTH AMBOY. May 6:-The
situation caused by the bids on
Augusta and John streets sidewalk
improvements is causing a great deal
OF interest in this city. The matter
has been placed in the hands of
City Solicitor f. p. Coan, who now
has the matter under consideration.
Lambertson & Reese. who were
low bidders, have retained John A.
Coan to represent them on the mat
ter. When the bids were opened
Tuesday night 1t was found that the
signature of the members of the
firm did not appear on the bottom of
the bid, but the name of the firm
did appear in handwriting elsewhere
on the face of the proposal. Does
this constitute a signature? That Is
t question that the city solicitor
has to solve. John A. Coan, repre-
senting the low bidders, maintains
that 1t does. Fallon & Kenah are
strenuously opposed to granting the
work to Reese & Lambertson, main
tanning that the bid was not proper
" executed and thus will not stand.
The difference In the two bids
amounted to $1.072. Certain proper
ty owners along the streets affected
maintain that If the work is not
awarded to the lowest bidder an In
junction will be placed on the work.
