Opposition to the award of contracts for the construction of the new Klingle Valley Bridge on Connecticut avenue to ‘The W. P. Thurston Co. of Richmond, Va., flared up yesterday at a meeting of | the' Buy-in-Washington Council, local | organization of business and labor lead- | ers, formed during the last year, with the objective of stimulating local eco- nomic conditions. When bids were opened recently by the District Commissioners it was found that the Thurston company was the low bidder.

Applies to U. S. Buildings. But a Treasury Department ruling on this contract was reported at the meet- ing to have been that the Davis-Bacon law applied only to the construction of Government buildings and not to bridges, nor to street paving and other engineering work. Charles H. Tompkins, member of the Buy-in-Washington Council, reported, however, that the Thurston firm had written form letters to local subcon- tractors, after the submission of its official bid for the bridge contract, stating that the Thurston company had no bid from a subcontractor for certain steel construction work. It was reported that the Thurston company was seeking such subbids from local subcontractors. Appeal to Contractors. - ‘The agreed to urge local subcontractors to refrain from submitting such subbids to the Thurston company. decided to sponsor an essay contest on the subject of the Buy-in-Washington movement. A group of prizes would be offered. Students of various classes of local schools would be eligible for the contest, inciuding pupils in the ele- mentary public schools, the high schools and the commercial schools. E. J. Murphy, chairman of the coun- named members of a committee to draw up plans for the contest, and Whitney Leary and E. A. Rulé were appointed to arrange for prizes.
