REJECTS LOW BID -~ ONCONDUIT JoB Pabiic Works Dept, Gives Cor- " tract to New York Firm i The board of public works, meet- Ing last evening, awarded a contract For the construction of conduits on | Eourl street, South High street and ain street, from Central Park to Chestnut street, to the G. M. Gest 0. of New York, over a lower bid t the Peter Suzio and Staff of this kity, involviug a difference of ap- proximately $2,400, disregarding the lower bid of the local concern to blace the contract in the hands of the New York constructing cimpany In epite of the fact that the lowest bdider has completed considerable work for the city in a satisfactory fmanner. Three bids were submitted to the oard, as follows: C. W. Blakesdee |& Sons, N=w Haven, $49,015.50; G. M. Gest Co., New York, $24,800; [Peter Suzio and Staff, New Britain, '$22,442.50. City Engineer Joseph D. Williams Mtated that to award the bid to the New Britain concern meant that the ity would be required to put in the | manholes. He stated that while Buzio had done satisfactory work for the city on all the contracts award- er him, he would advise giving the ontract to the G. M. Gest Co. Com- imissioner John M. Fagan supported {Williams and stated that he did not Melieve in experimenting with city | kcontracts. Commissioner Thomas W. Crowe Blso favol the awarding of the | lcontract to the Gest Co., stating that | he had nothing against Suzio and would like to give him the contract but that he thought that the board was doing the local concern “a fa- vor” by giving Gest the contract. Commissioner Joseph Mlynarski | argued that the awarding of the| contract to the Gest Co. did mnot | seem fair to the lowest bidder inas- | much as the city has in the past| been accustomed to award the con- tract to the lowest bidder. Chairman Reginald Towers supported Mlynar- | ski in_this statement. | “Tity Engineer Williams read a pe- | tition from the Shuttle Meadow ciub asking that the club be permitted to link its sewerage system with New Britain stystem. The pefition stated | that the club would install the sys- | tem at its own expense and would pay a rental fee of $25 a year for each lot that the system traversed. A clause stated that in case the city ever annexed that portion of Kens- ington property, the system would become property of the New Britain department. It was voted that a rec- ommendation for the permission to link sewerage systems be forward- | ed to the common council. | City Engineer Willlams reported to the board that he had forward a letter to William C. Dunn, secretary | of the city hall committee, asking that a fireproof vault capable of holding the important documents of the public works commission be in- | stalled. Williame explained that an abandoned elevator shaft located in the rear of the building would pro- vide an excellent location for such | a vault and could be fitted to serve | all floors of the city hall. The board voted approval of the request of the | city engineer. | A hearing was held for the resi- | dents af Mansficld avenue, from East | to Sherrill street, who petitioned | for the installation of sewers. It was | voted by the board to recommend the sewers to the common council for this neighborhood. A hearing on the installation of sewers on Wynola street, from East ! to Sherrill streets, was laid over for NWEW BRITAI further action. A hearing on the in- stallation of sewers on Stanley street from Sefton Drive to Hillcrest ave- nue was held. It was voted to order the installation in that district. A hearing on the installation of side- walks on the east side of East street from Connecticut avenue to Thorn- ley street resulted in the board’'s or- dering the work completed by Oc- tober 15. A petition was received from the esidents of Wooster street for the installation of sewers. City En- gineer Williams stated that sewers in that locality would necessitate a new trunk system through that portion of the city. It was voted to give a hearing to the residents af- fected. 6ASCOS TRIM SOKOLS Jim Lynch's Crew of Flame Eaters Gets Sweet Revenge - on Team Which Formerly Beat It. The Gascos piloted by Jim Lynch, came through last night to get sweet revenge on their rivals the Sokol A. C. baseball team. The Gas- cos took a hard fight by the score of 2 to 0. Jagoloski and Haines work- ed for the Sokols while Johnny Sheehan and Kopec formed the bat- tery for the Gascos. Both Shechan and Jagaloski were in good form allowing only a mini- mum number of hits, The Gascos scdred their first run when Willie Wojack was safe on an error. He stole second and rode home on Frank Sheehan's bingle. The winners got their second tally when “Chucky” Wojack belted a mighty drive for the circuit. George Barnes umpired to the satisfaction of both teams. The elephant 1is the last of his kind. and he is in a fair way toward extinction.

You buy every other article of home or business equipment because of the value which it has in itself, but the value of your telephone service to you depends absolutely upon the extent to which the service is pur- chased by other people. If you are to get the most value out of your own tele- phone service, you naturally expect us to furnish service And to-day there are twice as many telephones in service in to all others who desire it. We do, of course. Connecticut as there were ten years ago. But to install and serve this doubled volume of tele- phones, at the present-day prices for labor and materials, has greatly increased our costs of doing business, while rates for service have increased but little.

If you had the orily automobile in the United States, it would still serve your needs for business and for pleas- ure, and you would probably be proud of owning some- thing no one else possessed.
