CONTRACTORS ARE TOO BUSY.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind. July 3.-Wabash con-
tractors have never, in the history of the
city, enjoyed such a rush as they have
on their hands now. The City Council
asked for proposals for the Improvement
of Minor street, a short t%horoughfare in
the western part of the city. Usually there
are many bids submitted for contracts
of this kind. but in the present Instance
but one proposal was filed and the figures
named were so per cent. higher than the
average for similar contracts. The Council
rejected the bid and on investigating found
that all the other contractors had more
work than they could handle and refused
to take on another job.
The Council has resolved to wait till the
boom subsidies before inviting proposals on
the street.

Paper Company VIII Not Rebuild.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, July 3.-The
board of appraisers. which for sew
eral weeks has been working to adjust the
loss of the Utility Paper Company plant,
has finished its work. The board repre-
sented about twenty-five companies. 1t
fixed the loss on the building at SIS, 953. and
that on the machinery at $40, 800. a total of
$50, 253. The insurance on the concern was
$40. 600, and as the factory was almost an
entire loss the company considers the
appraisement too low and refuses to accept
it. The fact, however, that the company
does not intend to rebuild Is of greater i'm
portance to the people of this city. About
120 men employed by the company have
been permanently discharged and must
seek employment elsewhere. This will AXE
several hundred persons away from the
city.

departed for California Lieutenant

rival at this city of a large delegation
of Dunkards, representatives of thou
sands of the sect in Indiana, Illinois

tricts, and they practically have closed
deals for hundreds of acres of the best
fruit farms tributary to this city.
One of the party, who claims to rep
resent a colony of $500 Dunkards in

was relieved to find homes and peach
lands for the prospective immigrants.
AS the Dunkards are known to num-
