Van Court & Wlnn wcro the successful bid ders tor the cdtlro work. Their bid was 9.7 cents per yard on that portion of the work lylnn cast and G.7 cents per yard for the portion lying wcat ol Twentieth street. The cntlrs work will require the removal of about 80,000 cubic yards of earth. The contract with thcno bidders rcqulrei that the work Dhall bo completed not later than Juno 25. They are given ten days from the signing of the contract to get thslH men to work , nnd , the entire Job Is to bo conn jilcted In forty days. The contractors will use two grading maChines - Chines nnd several "wheelers" on the work , necessitating the employment of about forty men. This grading "outfit" will bo removed from the present location to the exposition Grounds at once , and the work will be pushed to completion. The contractors liavo been literally overrun with nppllcanta for work since It became known that they had underbid the other com- jictltora. They tell all comers that no men will bo employed until the tlmo comes to start the work. The ordinance providing1 for the temporary closing of the streets mi the exposition grounds has been signed by the mayor and no obstruction now remains to prevent the work of enclosing the grounds and commenc ing the grading. The fence around the Kountze tract Is nearly completed , but Twentieth street will not ho closed until the progress of the work makes It absolutely necessary. The building of the fence around the large tract forming the northern section of tha grounds is progressing rapidly , and that around the tinct east of Sherman avenue la ixlBO well under way.
