We are glad to learn that the directors of
our Agricultural and NJ schanicslA ysoc;stio
have determined to build, in time to be used
at the next Fair, 3 horticultural and floral
hall, provided sufficient funds can 10 raised
to meet the expense. The estimated cost Is
about $3.50, Of which amount the association
proposes to contribute 1920, and Harmony
Grange 500, leaving $3.50 to be contributed
ny the citizens Of the city and county. We
hope Messrs. Longdon and Heck, who have
been appointed by the directors to solicit
the aid needed, will be received in 4 liberal
spirit, sud that the small sum asked may not
be given in = reluctant manner. The nscs..
slty for the building has long been felt by
every regular attendant ut the fairs and the

NO MORE STRAW BIDS.
Special Dispatch to the Baltimor. Gazette.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette.
Washington, July 14.-Among tie
practical results of the house investiga
tons this session, not the least impor-
tant is the act just passed by both house.
of congress intended to effectually crush
out straw bids in the postoffice depart
ment. This bill was framed by General
Clark, of Missouri, after a careful d.
gestion Of the mass Of testimony taken
before the house committee on post
Offices and post roads. It provides in
the first place that the bond OF the bidder
shall be snrpe.tcu Dy two Sureties, who
must be owners of real estate, worth in
the aggregate a sum double the amount
OF the bond, over and above all debts
due and owing by them. Any surety
making a false statement shall be DEEM
ed guilty Of perjury and on conviction
punished as provided by law for COM
mission of that crime. The next feature.
which strikes a direct blow at straw bids,
requires the postmaster general to give
a contract to the lowest bidder or bid
ders in the order of their bids, and in the
event that the lowest bidder fails to
perform the service, the postmaster
general is then authorized to enter into
a contract with any person at the same
rate of contract which the contracting
parties failed to perform. Failing to
secure performance on the lowest he is
authorized to take the next lowest con-
tract with outside parties. But if he fails
to secure performance at a reasonable
rate he is then required to r~e-advertise.
Bidders to whom contracts are awarded.
who tail to enter upon performance, or
having entered upon fail to perform
their duties, are to be held guilty of q
misdemeanor, and punished by a fine
OF not more than S. 1000 and impr1son-
ment of not more than twelve months
and failure or refusal, by any person, or
persons, to enter into such contracts in
due form, or their failure to perform
such service, is made prima facie evil
dence in all actions and prosecutions
under this part of the law.
