BRIDGE PROJECT
 STILL IN DOUBT
Bids for Baldwin Street Structure to Be Opened
 Tonight
* * *

Possibility that the city might not be able to award the contract for the proposed new Baldwin street bridge following acceptance of bids at tonight's meeting of the Board of Public Works was expressed semi officially this morning.
 Bids will be presented in person tonight to City Purchasing Agent Martin J. Sweeney who in turn will offer them to members of the Works Board. The city has an appropria- ton of $92,000 set up in the l94l budget and the opinion has been voiced in building circles that bids for the proposed new bridge as planned by the City Engineers office cannot come within that fig ure.
 Should the city fail to receive ap- proximate bids tonight for this job, 1t will be the second time within a week or more that bidders for city projects have thus failed to meet requirements. Twice the city called for bids on the proposed new An derson school gymnasium in the East End and twice they failed to come even close to the $50,000 item the city has set up in the budget. $64,B Is the closest bid to the item set and this may finally have to be accepted through transfer Of funds.
 It was freely predicted today that the same course of action might have to be followed by the Board of Works in awarding the bridge contract, although no definite figure has as yet been submitted and none will be until the board meets tonight. Nevertheless the opinion prevails that the bids to- night will prove high.
