WHAT MAJOR LYDECKER SAYS ABOUT AWARDING THE CONTRACT. * Major Lydecker, when asked by a Stan reporter Tespecting the charges that favoritism had been shown Beckwith & Quackenbush in awarding the oO tunnel contract, notwst! that Dewoes Co, made a tid $2000 tower chat Beck- ‘with & Quackenbush, said he did not care at the present time to say anything on the subject. At ‘the proper time, he said, he wouid give bis state- ment. “It would be fruiticss,” he “to under- ron a me Major Lydecker marked that he the whole matter would be wor investigated by a competent tribunal ‘that could require men to testify underoath, “All Wecan do now,” he said, “1s to examine the con- dition of the work. We cannot compel men to tell us the truth.” — THE TUNNEL CONTRACTS. ‘Why Were They not Given to the Low- eet Bidders? ‘The expose of the tunnel frauds has caused considerable inquiry to be made as to how the tunnel contracts were awarded. Itis known that Beckwith & Quackenbush, the successful bidders, Were not the lowest for the work, and the vigor- ‘us protest made at the time by the lowest bid. ders—J, H. Dewees & Co., of this city—against the award of the contract is significant in view of the recent startling developments, The bids in ques- Uon Were opened October 5, 188%. The lowest bidders were J. H. Dewees & Co., at $464,900; the next lowest, Eugene Robinson, of Detroit, at $540,903, and’ the tuird, Beckwith’ & Quackenbush, At $548,100, or $83,200 more than the lowest bid. Major ‘Lydecker ueld that J. H. Dewees & Co. Could not do the work required at the amount of their bid, and so informed them. When they learned Uiat the contract was about to beawarded to Beckwith & Quackenbush, they tiled 4 VIGOROUS FROTEST ‘with Secretary of War Lincoln, dated October 19, 1883. They also notified Maj. Lydecker that they ‘were prepared to furnish all necessary bonds and money required. Col. J. H. Dewees says that these communications delayed ‘the award of the cou- tract, Dut that “soon afterward Maj. Lydecker’s father and a number of New York gentieman came to Washington and called on President artuur, And immediately thereafter the contract was let Dewees & Co. requested the Secretary of War to reconsider the matter, and he replied that after a Te-exatnination of the papers in the case he saw no reason to change views which led him to ap- prove the recommendation of Maj. Lydecker, the officer in charge of the improvements, and Gen.
