Syllabus

<p>1. Street Improvements — Notice to Bidders. — A posted notice of the letting of a contract to make a street improvement, stating that bids will be received by the street committee at the city recorder’s office until a specified date, according to an ordinance requiring such bids to be let to the lowest bidder, and that the grading is to be completed within sixty days, and the graveling within ninety days, from the date of letting the contract, sufficiently states the time when, and the place where, the con. tract is to be let, as well as the time within which it is to be performed, within a provision of a city ordinance requiring such statement in published or printed notices.</p> <p>2. Idem — Public Places.— A city recorder’s certificate, reciting that he posted copies of a notice of the letting of a contract for a street improvement on the bulletin board at the city hall, and at the court house, and on the northwest corner of a certain person’s brick building situated on the corner of two designated streets, sufficiently shows that copies of the printed notices were posted in three public places. This term is a relative one, but in general it is a place where a posted notice is likely to be seen and known by the community.</p>
