Meeting of the Asylum Commission-
Local Notes.
SAN BERNARDINo, June 20.--The| asy-
lum commissioners met in their rooms
in the Farmers Exchange bank build
ing yesterday afternoon, for the purpose
OF awarding contracts for furnishing sup
plies for the institution for the next four
months. Considerable friction was
caused over the grading OF the ground
around the asylum. The trouble arose
over the hiring of teams to do the work.
Ted Cooley, foreman OF the work, en-
gagged several teams at $3.50, when
number could have been secured at 81.
The subject was discussed, but no de-
cision could be reached, and the affair
was left to DR.. Campbell, the superin-
tendent OF the asylum.
The different bids were taken up and
discussed at some length. The local
firms scored a decided victory, being
awarded every contract on the lowest
bid, with the exception OF that on coal
which was given ]. d. Spreckels & Co.
