NEW CAPITOL CONTRACT.
Choice of the Commission Meets
With General Favor.

The state capitol commissioners were
in session yesterday forenoon, to ar
range some minor details in drawing up
the contract by which the Butler-Ryan
company will erect the superstructure
of the new building. Several Of the
other and unsuccessful bidders were
present as was also w. B. Butler, who
was warmly congratulated by his
friends in securing the largest contract
of the kind let in the Northwest this
year.
The award Of the board seemed to
give general satisfaction-eXcept to
some of the contractors who didn't get
it-and the choice Of stone tends to
conciliate different parts of the state
and the people of the state, who wanted
Minnesota stone used. So far as st.
Cloud granite is concerned, it Is the
third largest contract ever let for that
stone.
There was a rumor about town yes
terday that the Georgia marble could
rot be obtained at the price on which
the ButIer-Ryan company had figured,
but when this was mentioned to Mr..
Butler he laughed and said it was only
a Josh
The board adjourned at noon until
next Tuesday, when it will mScS again
to open bids for $4,000 worth Of the
bonds.
