To the Comnwn Council: The Board of Public Works beg leave to submit the following report of lts doings in the matter of bids for sewer tile, for the main sewer. The Board caused notice of tho City's wants to be published in the local newspapers and also distributed among well-known producers and dealers in sewer tile; and as a result on the day set i'or closing such offer, had eight bids of responsible parties, all of which bids are submitted herewith. All of the cars were for the tile tree oii board of bids at Ann Arbor, subject to inspection by.City Inspector. Each bid was uccotnpaniëd by sample of tile proposed to be deli'vered. The Board, before deciding on any recommendation caused all of said samples to be thoroughly tested at the mechanical laboratory at the University of Michigan, all of which tests are herewith submitted and made a part of this report. All thincs considered, we mend tbat the tile of the Ohio Valley Fire Clay Company be purchased and that a contract be made witli such company for tile for the main sewer at their bid, being at 80 5-2 discount trom list price (eastern list). ' We also recommend that the main sewer be constructed by the city under the direction of this Board. This recommendation is made for the following among other good and sufficient reasons, viz: First, the money wil] be distributed among our own working men who are now in great need of an opportunity to labor. Second, there is reason to believe that in that marnier the work is likely to be ruore efficiently done. All of which is respectfully submitted. By order of of the Board of Public Works. W. J.
