supplies, consisting of Mayor Smith,
Aid. Schinmann and City Treasurer Bre-
mer met at the mayors Office yesterday
afternoon at 2:30 and opened bids. There
was some surprise manifested at the fig
ures, as 1t was expected that the So

each company acted from an independent
basis.

lows: Jones, Adams & Co., Illinois lump

s2.75.
Whether these figures will be accepted
or not remains for the committee to de-
eide at the meeting to be held at 10
o'clock today. Last year the city paid
81 for Reynoldsville coal S3.9S for Poca-
hontas, and $3.50 for CRATE. The bids this
