ONLY Two BIDS

We're Received for the Mcclure Im-
prOvcmcnts from Local Contrac-
tors-Thesc We're not Opened for
Certain Reasons and now Others
are Bidding.
The bids for the Improvements at the
Mcclure were to have closed several days
ago with Franzhelm. Giesey & Faris,
the architects, but when the limit for
entering the bids, had arrived. only two
Of the local contractors had taken ad-
vantage OF the opportunity to get what
Is probably $4,000 job.
1t was thought at first that there was
combination among the local contrac-
tors to enter only two or three bids and
thus prevent close competition on the
work, but 1t now develops that the
builders were not particularly anxious
to enter bids on account OF the magni-
tude of the contract. and the possibility
that money would be lost on the job.
However. the time for entering bids
has been extended, and several other
local builders are now figuring on the
plans and will enter bids soon. II local
builders hadn't thought 1t worth while
to enter more than two bids 1t was the
intention Of the, McLures TO invite bids
from outside contractors.

A HALF HOLIDAY.

Sentiment Among the Wholesalers
and Their Employees Seems to be
Unanimous for its Continuation
This Summer Freight Agents to
net.
Four years ago the Saturday half
holiday was inaugurated in the Wheel
Ing wholesale district from June l to
September /. through the action OF the
Wheeling Freight Agents Association
In closing their freight stations at
noon. In the crusade that led to this
the Intelligencer was fortunate enough
to take Il leading part.
There have been many inquiries this
week In search Of informant ton as 10 the
Saturday half holiday this summer The
matter rests with the Wheeling Freight
Agents Association, which Will be gov
erned by the sentiment of the business
people. So. far as can be learned sentI-
ment in the wholesale district is again
unanimously In favor of having the
half holiday. and unless there should be
strong opposition TO the move, the
freight agents will soon pass upon the
matter favorably, and their action will
be received with satisfaction By the
thousand or more people who are Affect
ed. The experience OF the business
houses during the past summers has
been that there was no LOGS or inconve-
nlence resulting from the half holiday
In fact the firms employees generally
managed to do as much work Saturday
forenoon as they formerly did In the
entire day. This being true. 1t does not
seem likely that there will be any oppo-
sition to action by the frelghts agents In
closing the freight stations at noon or
p. III. on Saturday.

Is the reduction made In the measured

minimum rate OF $50 per year Is highly
gratifying to General Manager N. r.
