noon. the board convened In n secret
session to resume deliberations Sat.
urday morning shortly before IL

The offers OF the stutz and Sea
grave firms apparently have the In.
side track for final passage Both
are several thousand dollars under
tho bid OF the AmericanaT.n France
people. Tho Friday deadlock arose
over the question of which OF tho
two lower bids Is really the lowest.
In a recent opinion Corporation
Counsel Thomas J. l.. Kennedy ruled
that only inc lowest BID on any Single
contract could be considered: other.
wise all bids must be rejected.
Despite this opinion. George r.
Russell, utilities department superin-
tendent. has declared In favor OF the
American-fa France bid, on the
ground that their equipment is bet.
ter and easily worth the additional
price.
