The County Board ujst Tuci- day morning1 for the regular January session v/ith all members present. Ben P. Morris was elect ed chairman for the ensuing year. A numer of commitfce reports were taken up and disposed of atid a number of bills allowed. Wheu the matter of tne designa tion of the official paper of the county , which it paid for publishing lishing- the board proceeding's and and the legal notice" , came up , it was found that the S argent Leader had offered to do this work for ninety per cent of the regular legal rates. E. R , Purcell - cell presented a written agree ment of the editors of the Chief , Mason City Star , Comstock News , Merua Postal Card aud the Loup Valley Queen , agreeing- pub lish the reports and legal notices in all these papers for the regu lar legal rates. Herbert G. Myers submitted a bid agreeing to do the work for fifty per cent of the regular legal rates. The matter was allowed to go over until V7ediiesday morning. When the board met Wednesday morning , some of the Fusiorist members indicated that Editor C. W. Beal of the Beacon , had verbally agreed to do the work at the figures submitted by Mr. Myers , and the Beacon was awarded the county printing and declared to be the official paper of the county. Taking the work on the basis o'f Mi. Myers' bid will mean a saving to the county of at least $500'since the v/ork last year cost the county in the neighborhood of $1,000. When the bids on the supply work were opened it was frund that the bid of Purcell Brrtbcrt was considerably lower than the bids of tbe Sargent Leader and the Republican. Purcell Broth ers were awarded the contract for furnishing the supplies for the court house for the next year The figures in the bids on the supply work were considerably lower this year than last and it looked as though Purcell Broth ers must have been lookingfoi a negro in the wood pile , as their bid this year was about $600 low er than their bid last year on practically the same line of sup plies.
