Not Lowest Bidders

NOT LOWEST BIDDERS

But Hawind and Bogert got the Paving Contract.

Ypsilanti, Mich, July 26. - The contract between the city and Howlind & Bogert, of Jackson, the successful bidders on the paving of two blocks of Congress st., was signed yesterday afternoon. The price is $16,665, but all of this will not come from the taxpayers, as by their franchise the D.Y. & A. A. electric road will be completed to pay for the pavement between their rails and for a distance of 18 inches on either side. The big of Howind & Bogert was higher than that of B. D. Barto, or Port Huron, but the council prefers the Metropolitan block, the material upon which the former estimate was based.
