EVA]S T S FLAT SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
(fo the Editor.) Sib, — As tenders were publicly colled for by the Evans Flat School Committee for tiioir buildings, permit me to ask that body pubhciy through your paper : llow it was that during the intej.-val botvveon the opening of the te.i.'lors and tiie declaration of the successful tenderer, any party should be asked by them to give a private tender, and, to tlio exclusion of the lowest tender sent in in due form, accept the same ? From the co lfe&sion of the present, contractors, I am prepared to prove that no public tender was sent in by them, so that the job came to them by a kind of under-current. I do not complain of the lowest tender not being accepted, but I do raise my humble protest against such irregular and dishonorable proseedings. li" committees entrusted with the spending of Government money are not willing to expend ib to the be^t advantage, and in a business-like manner, I think it is high time such bodies ceased to exist. — I am, &'•.. ' A BuiLDEU. Lawrence, sth December, 1873.
