Board Rejects Bids for Street Paving Readvertises Action

Morris Burns alleges he is the lowest qualified bidder and seeks contract award, while City Solicitor Stevens defends the action as legal and within the commission's power. The meeting adjourned with plans to re advertise the bid and reopen bidding on a later date.
