The highest was $116,764, the lowest was $75,404—a big difference—but nothing to be compared to another plece of work on which the high bid was $633,690 and the lowest $270,290, a differ- ence of nearly $400,000. In neither of the above cases could the work have been successfully car- ried out by the low bidder at the figure he named. There are in practice today two kinds of competition—one is of bene- fit to all concerned; Price competition,” as carried on by the unscrupulous the other is just opposite. fsm, strife and war of business. Under the competitive gystem in force in years gone by, the contractor, who got the job on the strength of the low bid, stood an excellent chance to lose everything he had-—if he had anything to lose——otherwise, the bullding owner pald more for his building than the bid originally called for. It is true that no man wnts to pay more for a building than the bulld- ing is worth—but neither does he want to pay for a building that is faulty in construction. The only kind of competition th, consideration is that form.o owner' is the antagon- t is worthy of a prospective building- competition under which men or ins tutions of, financial responsibllity and {ntegrity strive to furnish the very best of service at the lowest possible price—quality considered.
