G. Wilbur Doughty has Chance to Express Views When Bid is Received The old system of awarding county road improvement bids. without com- petition received a setback on Mon- day despite the hostile attitude of Su- r G. Wilbur Doughty, when Supervisor Painter, of Oyster Bay brought up the subject of a purchase | of .a new metal filing cabinet for the office of the surrogate for $4,042. \The law was amended to compel mnfiwmdgnfi for road construc- tion,\ be , \and as 'a consequence the ‘uunty is losing thousands of dol- lars, Formerly the board fixed a price which it said to contractors they must meet or forfelt their right to work in Nassau. We got low contract rates and the very was sounded that we were gi the work to favored contractors. \Now w he new law all con- tracts mus! advertised and .con- tractors bid Often the prices are much higher than we formerly paid, t the award is made to the lowest bidder. - Despite this the prices are much higher than formerly but con- trectors are protected by the law in charging a higher rate. The lowest bidder is entitled to the contract, pro- vided be qualifies as a bonafide eon- tractor. I maintain that the county has and will continue to lose thous-| ands of dolla ecause the board can | no longer i rate and let the con- tract to the contractor that can match that rate. empresa hilt-rush“ New York State Prominent Speakers; Conven- tion Ends With Banquet Rexallites from all over New York State and Long Iatund took possession of the Hotel Nassau on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week when the In- ternation Association of Rexall Clubs met in.convention here.
