BID TAMPERING FOUND JOHN KEATIXG LOSES SEWER CONTRACT AS RESUI-T. neeks Investigation fn Auditor's ' Office Reveals Substitution and Apparent Forged Numbering. Trouble In the office of City Auditor Barbur arising from the discovery by Mr. Barbur that the bid of John Keat ing for the construction of the East Thirty-first-street and Halsey-street sewer system had been tampered with, resulted yesterday in the rejection of to the contract to Mr. Keating and the award of the work to the Eliott Con tracting Company.' The action was the outcome of nearly a week's Investiga tion to ascertain who was responsible for changing the bid. The Executive Board at Its last meet ing let the contract to Mr. Keating for it,vuo after the Auditor's office had checked the bids over and found the Keating bid to be the lowest in the list tendered. Prior to that time in checking over the bids deputies In the Auditor's office had checked the bids and found that the Eliott Company was the lowest. After that time and be fore the award of contract was madi a representative of Mr. Keatlntr an peared and claimed to Deptlty Auditor Penfleld, who checked the bids, that a mistake had been made. He pointed it out and showed that the Keatinir bid figured out lower than that of the n.iiott company. Accordingly the con tract was awarded to Keatinar. Not being satisfied that he had made a mistake. Deputy Auditor Penfield be gan looking over the bid and with tne assistance of Auditor Barbur dis covered that the original bid of Mr Keating apparently had been taken away and another put in its place, while the bids, were in the Auditor's omce, wnere they are accessible to ine puDiic. The substituted bid had been stamped with a numbering machine in a dif- ierent -colored ink from that used by Auunur ana tne numDers were larger in size. Another discovery was that the certified check accompanying the bid had been pinned in a manner aurerent from the usual manner em ployed by Mr. Barbur.
