lilE OMAITA DAILY BF.Ei "W.EDNKPDAY, JULY 29. 1003. BID MCll FOR THE SCHOOL Eeen Competition fo: Location of the New Kormal Institution. FIFTEEN PLACES IN THE COMPETITION Basilars Tops Them All Bo Far as Flnaact 1 Consideration Go, but Others Make Soma Flat terlng Tenders. (From a Staff Correspondent.) IJNCOLN, July 2S. Spccl!.) This after noon the State Board of Education opened tho bids for the new Mute normal. There were fifteen towns In the race and the bids ranged from the offer of a site made by the people of Ai.MWorth to the mignlflcnt oflor of 11,000 nuulo by the people of Hasting?, where enthusiasm runs rampant in favor of tho new normal school. Central City tads the race north of the Platte river with an offer of a Bite and W-,500 In cash, guaranteed by the three banks of that city. The re sult of the bidding has bejn to show the bands of the various competing towns, but the probablar, action of the board Is left In the dark, although there Is a dis position to believe tnat there will be some trouble ahead for the 'towns south of the Platte Because of the- evident disposition to regard tho new institution as a North Platte plum. Kearney offered a building worth $91,000 and a site, but no cash, while Aurora, Just south of . Central City, made an offer of $35,000 cash with a site. One very noticeable thing manifest about the contest this afternoon was the fact that the towns were all represented, not only by their representative citizens but by their most wealthy men. Many of the mem bers of the delegations from the various towns which crowded the office of the su perintendent were solid, substantial bankers who guaranteed the fulfillment of the promises made by the delegations. The towns from which bids received were Alnsworth, Alliance. Ord, Long Tlno, Fairfield, Lexington, Kearney, St. Paul, Central City. Hastings, Holdredge, Aurora. North Platte, Gothenburg and Broken Bow. Hastings Has Three Offers. The city of Hastings presented three separate propositions. By the first prop osition the city offers to contribute free and clear of all Hens and Incumbrances 1131,186 In property and money, consisting of twenty-two acres of land valued at (3,300; a large three-story convent build ing valued at $90,000; free connection with the city water system and free water for one year, the servloe, including the exten sion of the rrtnlns, 'estimated at a, cost to the city of $4,625; free extension of the city sewer to the building, estimated at a cost of $2,800; free electric wiring in the building and connection with the city tilant. and free ' light for one year, all estimated at a cost to the city of $2,800; and $28,200 as a cash bonus. The build ing offered is about a mile from the city and Is described as being well arranged for school purposes, having been built for use as a convent. Thomas R. Kimball, the architect who drew the plans for the Burlington depot In Omaha, and John Latenser, another' Omaha architect, have both estimated the building to be worth $90,000. ' By the second proposition the city of Hastings offers 174,725 In property and money, as follows i Twenty acres of land In the city park, valued at $15,000; ex tension of the city, water main to the building and free water for one year, the service being estimated . at a cost to the olty of $4,65; extension of city sewer to tho building - and connection, at an esti mated cost to the city of $2,500; wiring In the new building and free light for one year, at an estimated cost to the city of $2.G60; and a cash donation of $50,000.

Central City's Offer. Representative Thompson presented Con tral City's, claims. The cash offer of $32,500 la absolutely guaranteed by the three bank era of theclty, and In addition there are a lot of subscriptions in addition to the amount named In the bid which may, be realised on. .The offer Includes only the gilt-edged subscriptions.' In addition to this amount the people will give a twenty-acre !te worth about $2,000 and free water and light for a year, a total amount sufficient to bring the bonus offered up to . $40,000, practically representing to the state that amount of cash without o,ny decrease on ac count of depreciation of real estate. ,., Other Offers for School. Alliance offered twenty acres of land for sits and $1,500 a month for the support of the school until the next legislature can make provision for It, the amount not to exceed $10,000. Ainswortn offered a site comprising twenty-throe acres close to the village and presented a petition from a large number of North Platte people praying tor the location of the school at that place. Long Pine, through Its Commercial club, tendered the state a tract of forty acres of land said to be worth $75 an acre, with free water for five years. The offer was signed by Luke M. Bates and others. Fairfield, through C. L. Lewis, offered about thirty acres of land near the city, worth $100 an acre, the old Christian college building, and $10,000 In cash. Central City offers one of four sites and $82,500 In cash. The land Is worth $75 on acre. The claim Is made that the city Is Bear the center of population. Lexington Is modest and restricts Its offer to twenty acres of land, worth $100 an acre. Ord. the home town of the state treasurer, who has been making a plucky light for the school, filed three bids. Each Included a different site, of varying values. The cash bids which accompanied the sites were $20,000., $21,500 and $22,500. in addition water ror nre protection was offered. Kearney offered what Is known as the Qreen terrace, an expensive stone structure erected during the boom days. The building is right In the heart of trie city and Is lo cated on a fine artlftclsl lake. The struo ture, together with the public rervlces promised, are valued at a total of $01,000. Gothenburg; Is Flacky. The town of Gothenburg, the neighbor Of Lexington, the county reat of Dawson county, gava an exhibition of enterprise which would be creditable to a town of twice its size, located In the fertile eastern section of the state. When the members of the dclrgatlon came In Inst night they bore with them the effer of a site and I10.COO In ca-h. They had taken the notion to do some booming yesterday and the offer was the result. This morning at 11 o'clock the delegation received a telegram from Its consthuency authorizing them to raise the bid to $15,00. The slto offered Is on the edge of an upland lake and Is con sidered very fine. St. Taul was represented by a delegation of prominent men who made an offer of a site close to the center of the city and $10,(01. The claim Is tnide that the territory around the town will build up the school In great shape. Aurora tmdered a certificate of deposit for $15,000 and the choice of any one of seven sites of twenty acres each. The total value of the bid Is said to be about $40,000. The sites offered are well drained and In some cases well wooded. Holdrero offered twenty acres worth $200 an acre and $25,0.0 In cash for the school. Senator Dean headed the delega tion. North Platte came in with the novel proposition to give a site and $10,003 to the board to be used In the operation of the school. The intention was to allow the board to spend the money before the legis lature can assemble two years henca to make a formal appropriation. The In ability to expend the amount paid In as a bonus accounted for this offer. It also offered a straight $10,000 cash bonus and TREE GROWING IN SANDHILLS GTe;nment Expert Gives Remit of Experi ment! on Dismal Biter.

"The result of this afternoon's work," said Superintendent Fowler this afternoon. after the bids for the location of the new normal school had been opened, "have been ery gratifying to me. They demonstrate that there has - been a great awakening n the western part of the state In educa tional matters. The bids serve to show not only the public spirit of the cltlxens of the western part of the state, but also the desire for educational advancement. The bids will aggregate about $500,000 in value if the sites and public service offered are added to the cash bids. Tho way In which some of the smaller towns have shown up speaks very much for the char acter of their cltirens." Governor Expresses Ills Satisfaction. "The result of the bidding for the new normal school," said Governor Mlcley this afternoon, "demonstrates that a healthy public sentiment exists in the west as woll as In the east. A state where such rivalry for the location of an educational Institu tion is possible most be congratulated.
