I a NIGHT EDITION ! “DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY” Ay ‘(HE GOUNTY COMMISSIONERS will meet tomorrow morning to open new bids for the courthouse lighting contract. Po Yet nobody disputed the fact that two weeks ago the city submitted not only a lower bid than the Puget Sound Traction, Light A & Power Co., but the lowest in the history of the county. { Why, then, should new bids be opened? County Commissioner Hamilton says he was sick at the last meeting and ditin’t really know that he voted one way or another ee That ought to make the matter quite simple. Instead of opening new bids, and possibly making room for more shenannigan bu i ness, the county commissioners should reconsider their vote of two weeks ago, rescind their former action, and promptly award the contract to the city. It is the only fair thing to do. LET’S PLAY THE GAME ON THE SQUARE, MESSRS.
