  CONSTRUCTION 
  OF 
  AQUARIUM. 
  

  

  Proposals 
  for 
  the 
  construction 
  of 
  the 
  aquarium 
  were 
  solicited 
  by 
  

   advertising 
  in 
  newspapers 
  published 
  in 
  Washington, 
  Kew 
  York, 
  Atlanta, 
  

   and 
  Savannah, 
  but 
  when 
  the 
  bids 
  were 
  oi)ened 
  on 
  May 
  15 
  they 
  were 
  

   found 
  to 
  be 
  too 
  high 
  and 
  were 
  all 
  rejected. 
  This 
  was 
  due 
  chiefly 
  to 
  

   the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  class 
  of 
  work 
  required 
  was 
  unusual 
  and 
  not 
  under- 
  

   stood 
  by 
  the 
  firms 
  making 
  the 
  bids. 
  As 
  the 
  time 
  was 
  getting 
  short 
  and 
  

   there 
  was 
  no 
  reasonable 
  hope 
  of 
  getting 
  satisfactory 
  bids 
  by 
  further 
  

   advertisement, 
  contracts 
  were 
  made 
  with 
  the 
  following 
  parties 
  for 
  

   the 
  construction 
  of 
  certain 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  aquarium 
  : 
  Peters 
  & 
  Paid,
