that bids viii be asked in the near
future for the construction Of the
piers up to the springing line of
the arches, and that later on
similar requests for bids viii be
made for the erection Of the entire
superstructure Of the bridge, later
q separate request will be made for
the construction of the bascuIe

elements OF the bridge, which
flcation Of work.
Object Of Dividing Bids.
-The object of dividing the bids
into these classes is to allow the
widest possible range of bidding by
not requiring the bidders who are
equipped with floating plant, for
instance, to bid on portions Of the
construction where floating plant
is not required and similarly to
allow the bidding on the bascuIe
span, which is an entirely different
class of work from the super
structure of reinforced concrete, to
be open to the bids of the steel
fabricating establishments
1T is contemplated to ask for
bids for the cut stone in order that
q wide range OF bidding may be
secured from the quarries them
selves, the setting to be included in
the bids for the superstructure,
which will be open to those con-
tractors equipped for that work.
Should the contract be canvased
for the complete project it would
eliminate a large class OF contract
ing firms of moderate capitalization
In favor of few of the large con-
Germs able to finance a project of
this size
The methods proposed have been
discussed freely with those contrac-
tors who are interested in making
bids on this work and without ex-
ception they have one and all
agreed that the methods proposed
viii secure the most advantageous
results.
"Only in case Of excessively high
bids will resort be had to day

mand to retain a superintendent of
schools who was to be dismissed
by the board. Roosevelt became
angry. Oyster stood firm. He then
presented his case In such a clear
cut and forceful manner that Roose-
welt offered him the District Com
missionership. Oyster refused at
the time.
Four years ago he was named
by President Harding to be District
Commissioner. He was placed in
charge of the police, fire, health,
Fairgrounds and weights depart
ment. He was on the job every day
from morning until night. He lost
large sums of money through his
devotion to this job. He made a
record which won for him city
wide respect. He was reappointed
last year
1t would take a. book to tell the
many stories which revealed his
true character; which tell of the
many projects he backed and put
through; which tell of the help he
so often extended those in unfor.
tunate circumstances; of his sue
cessful campaigns against Washing
tons underworld, and other inter-
esting events in his life.
The best evidence OF Oysters pop
ularity is the record at the District
Building which shows that more
than 10000 persons had personal
interviews with him while he served
as District Commissioner.
