Koutsky Puts
^wBid Question
Up to Council
Acceptance of Paving Con
sidered at Next Week’s
Meeting—Figures to
Be Given.
City Commissioner Joseph Koutsky
will leave to the city council next
Tuesday morning t lie question of
whether last Tuesday's paving bids
shall be accepted or referred to the
committee of tho whole tho following
week for discussion.
“I will bring in the tabulation of
the bids and leave the matter of ac
ceptance open, so that if the council
■wishes to refer them over for a week
that course may lie observed,” the
commissioner stated,
A few days ago Koutsky stated that
he would recommend acceptance of
tlie bids next Tuesday.
”1 am still of the opinion that tho
Flinn hid of $2.53 is reasonable and
that only a small margin of profit
bas been included,” Koutsky said.
"But if the council wishes to refer
the bids for discussion I am willfng.”
> Koutsky explained that the Flinn
company applied to him personally
several week* ago for specifications
and bidding blanks, and he did not let
any one in his office know that the
Flinn company intended to hid. lie
added that the Flinn bids were re
ceived at the city hall a few minutes
befnpi the counell meeting was called
uesday morning.
