The taxpgyers in. theterritory affected must pay that difference wb.en the inevitable assessnient bis are rendered. Granted that the board bas acted in absolute good faith ini the matter, (the lowest bidder may not always bcenetitled to the job) the, tact remains that the taxpayers must here assume an extra burden that seems all out of reason. Ask yourself the que stion: Would any good business mnan pay 30 per- cent more for an article when lie could get the same article at a saving of $000, particularly Mien the total cost of the commodity arnounts toi $50,000 or $60,000 But isn't the board-doi ng. just that?ý We have three thorouglhly:responisi-I ble bidders, fully accredited, backed. by years, of eminently- successful work in the sewer.construction field. -Santucci, for example, bas instailed seWtrs costng oretha $2000000 in the ûeigbboring town of, Nues Center Collins is quite as well qualified., So is Cannell-Conrad. Then:why, the award'to the highest of the three biddersI ,The explanation is off ered that Canuell-Conrad did a splendid job of_________________ lay ing the $1,000,000. sewer recently installed, and is. therefore given first consideration.
