Studying Specifications and Other
Matters in Connection With Bids
Received Tuesday Evening Next
Session of Council Will Be Closed
One No Decision for Some Time.
Having succeeded in reducing tho
bids of the vninous paving .compan
ies to a comparative basis, tho
mayor nnd city council aro now
studying the specifications in ordor
to dotormino which is tho best pave
ment to secure for tho money.
Tho table published above shows
the comparative bids of tho different
companies. The figures given nro
for tho laying of the pavement and
excavation to a depth of six inches.
Owing to tho fact that tho specifi
cations and cross sections are not
out for each stroet, tho total cost
cannot now bo estimated. Neithor
are tho drain basins nor monuments
includod in tho figures given.
Tho council has not given out tho
dnto for Jho noxt meeting, but it
will bo hold in tho near future and
will probably bo closed in ordor that
tho specifications may bo studied
nnd tho best pavement chosen for
tho least monoy. Definite notion
may not bo taken for somo timo by
tho council.
