(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug 5. (Special.) All bids
for additional construction and repair work
at the stat penitentiary war rejected by
the Board of Public Land and Buildings
this afte-raoon, the figures quoted being re
garded a too high, especially In view of
the fact that there are no fund available
for tha numo.a. Tha AfFere nf tha ma.
tractors .ranged from $24,000 to' $38,000. j
"W have abandoned the plan of finishing '
tha buildings thla year,"' said Land Com- i
mlssloner Follcier,' "W agreed that th j
t vxptmao wii ino grrai unaer id circum
stance and therefor decided to take no
further steps tn the matter. The admin
istration building, now In course of con
struction and tbe west cellhouse will be
put tn ' the best possible condition with
the money at .hand and the next legislature
will have to do the rest.'
Mr. Follruer said there was not enough
money left In the construction fund with
which to finish the administration building.
It walls can be completed and the struc
ture properly enclosed, but the Interior
will necessarily be neglected. The cell
building will ba fitted up with a new
roof and probably be used to house a
smal number of convicts, but tbe ether
building cannot be occupied for any pur
pose. Th Board of Public Lands and Building
agrted several week ago that It would be
ga J-'Cl'cr to finish the construction,
whatever might be the cost This decision
was severely criticised, owing; to th fact
that there are not fund available for th
sdltional work and today th board was
unanimous In its reconsideration.
