Though City Attorney La Koche could find no legal Impediment in the way of this procedure, he recommended to the dock commission that all bids be rejected, as the re lease of a contractor after ai agree ment had been closed would establish a precedent that might prove danger ous by leading to collusion between bidders. The advice of the city at torney was accepted. When the question was put to a vote at yesterday's meeting F. C. Knapp and C. C. Hindman favored awarding the contract to Tranchell & Parelius, while C.
