Raleigh. Aug. 30.-Thcre is obvi-
Gus lack Of harmony among mem

lie works commission, but the ratio
OF unanimity is still zine to one
Thursdays monthly meeting got
off to a bad start when John Goodc.
commissioner for the tenth division.
entered another protest at awarding
a contract for road work in the
mo- tains to non-Ashcviilc firm.
AT two previous meetings he had
protested letting OF contract To the
lowest bidder instead Of TO u local
firm which had been next 10 low.
This time the question was over
Il combination old. DickcrGon of
Monroe had made a combination bid
on two JOBS = Buncombc and Hen
derson counties aggregating about
s240,000. The projects were let sep
aratcly and individual bids lotaled
above S24l,000. The commission
awarded the contract to Dickcrson.
and Goodc protested that the award
was wrong since the projects were
advertised separately. AS before.
the other cOmmissiu' crs stood by
the policy of giving the Job TO the
lowest bidder If he were a respon-
sible contractor and the amount was
within engineering cost estimates.
