SUPERVISORS LET CONTRACT County Bridges Will be Built I his Year lly Standard Bridge Company AI the meeting of the County Board of Supervisors held this week the contract for the build ing of the county bridges was let to the Standard Bridge Company. This company's bid was about f2000.00 lower than the bid ot Fred Ream who had the contract last year. The Board has heretofore to-fore found it hard to draw up a contract which would bind the Standard Bridge Company to ful fill their contract but County Attorney Gadd believes that he has a contract with tlicm this year which will compel them to do as they agree. The Board has planned si far to build four teen bridges. The prices ( [ noted in the Stan dard Bridge Company's bid this year are about ifSOOU.CO lower than their bid would have been had they submitted the same rates as the > have charged in the county before. This is due very largely to the fac > that the con tract was awarded last year to Fred Kcam , and the Standard Bridge Company was dctermenod to ct the contract this year in spite of Ream's competetion , HARDWARE STORE BROKEN INTO AGAIN G.
