This is the second time bids have been received ftor this work. The impreesion is growing that contractors in- bidding are figuring upon too great a margin for hazard and too liberal a profit.

If the work is re-advertised and the next batch of bids do not come closer to the estimates of the city engineer as to wnat tne work should cost tnere a possibility that the city will project. The core? drill tests tunnel show that the formation is ideal for tunnel construction and it possible that the city could do the work at a saving of fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars over the bids as received. This would not necessitate the employment of a supervising constructor at a salary of about $2400.00 per year and the entire work could be done under tbe supervlsidn of the water and sewer department. Commissioner Fleming has had considerable experience In contract work and thoroughly understands handling all details in conection there- wlHi, except the actual construction case of the city taking the part of the contractor and the taxpayers receiving the profit. The commissioners are glvigg this plan tttdttghtand It may be adopted.
