Where a city charter authorized contracts for street improvements to be given to the lowest bidder “who shall give satisfactory proof of his” ability to properly perform the work, it was held that the board of public works could not exercise an arbitrary discretion in awarding the contract, but must base their discretion on facts reasonably tending to support its determination.
