which were 70. one or two elevators in
case the city should decide to have one
put in in its portion of the building
at the same time.
Two Of the bids only were accom-
panied by certified checks. that of the
Sprague Elevator company in the sum
of $3.50, and L. c. Trent in the sum
Of $3.50 AS the resolution calling for
bids however, did not stipulate that
the bids should be accompanied by
certified checks all bids were considered,
and placed on file.

will confer with the city with view
of having elevators in both portions OF

probable the selectmen will meet some
time during the week with the rep
resentatives of the different companies
to consider more definitely the BIDS
and specifications in detail.
