this week, an appeal of black
contractor Raymond Williams
to open his bid to demolish (he
old ^en-Up Bottling (^nt at
the corner of W. South and S.

bid was not opened because his
bid was not accompanied by a
bid bond. Williams feel that the
"primary purpose of the bid
bond is to keep minorities from
getting contractifig work and is
unfair.
The authority was split along
race lines with a vote of 3-2

Ms. Jessie Copeland support

Hinton has been involved for
some lime in the citv's urban
