ALDERMEN GET
BIDS TONIGHT
First Estimates on Lehigh
Park Section Regarded as
Too High
WILL TRY AGAIN TONIGHT
Mayors Action on Garbage
to be Taken Up at
Meeting

The second lot of bids for the
Lehigh Park section sewer system
will be received tonight by the alder
men, all of the original bids having
been rejected by the aldermen on
belief that they were too high and
lower figures could be secured. A
special meeting of the council has
been called for tonight for the pur-
pose of receiving these bids and an
adjourned meeting of this body is
also scheduled to be held tonight
at which time it is probable the gar
bage question will come up for dis
cussion.
Four bids were originally received
On this sewer work, Liddle & Pfeif-
fer's bid of $4S,540.40 for the entire
job being low. Other figures were:
East Jersey Bridge Company, $751;
1850; Hanson & Jensen, $64,279.-
95; Jens Rohr, $64,415.55. The al
dermen rejected the three highest
bids following a conference with the
city engineer and retained only Lid
die & Pfeiffer's bid. At a later meet
at-large Richard j. Calvin explain
ing that a majority of the board
members believe lower figure
could be obtained if the work was
re-advertised. Bids were again call
ed for and they will be received to-
night. Close bids are anticipated
and it is expected they will be lower
than the original figures.
The garbage problem is still be-
fore the aldermen. City Attorney
Leo Goldberger. in a letter to Mayor
Wilson. states that the action of the
aldermen in giving Graham & Nc
Keen the opportunity to continue
collections at the old rate is illegal
in that an amount in excess of $500
is involved and it is necessary to Sc
cure bids for such work and award
a contract. The last step taken by
the aldermen in the garage matter
was to make this offer to Graham G.
McKeon, the present contractors,
collecting the city's garbage. If the
offer was not accepted the street
committee was authorized to go
ahead with the work.
Graham & McKeon have not noti-
fed the aldermen whether or not
they will accept the offer of the
board to continue at the old rate,
but are still making the collections.
Mayor Wilson last week announced
that he would sign warrants payab
to the garbage contractors for their
work up to the day he received the
CITY attorneys opinion that the al
dermen's action was illegal. The
mayor has said he will not sign any
more checks to the garbage contrac-
tors until the aldermen have taken
legal action on the matter.
AS tonight's meeting is an adjourn
ed meeting, the garbage question can
merely come IN for discussion 1t
will be possible for the aldermen %
reach a decision as to what their
next step will be and take the ne
cessary action next Monday night at
their regular meeting.

was broken lose the other car was

No one was injured. The driver
of the Edison car was William j.

nevertheless this proved to be the
fact. While efforts were being made
