The rules governing the bidding were
that each bid should be accompanied by
a certified check. The McLOuth bid

had not followed the rules by submit

Young, of the Missouri Valley COM

received The claim is made that Nc
Louth is bidding for the Missouri Val

Louth's bid would have been thrown
out on account of the improper check,
but that if his bid was the lowest he
would dem and that it be accepted.
After the bids were opened Young, Of
the Missouri Valley company, put up
a certified check for 5000 for McLouth.
Commissioner Kelsey telegraphed to
McLOuth to see if the bank there would

to the telegram. When asked what
would be done about the bids Chair
man Kelsey said: I'VE will take up the
matter of the bids when we hear from

the rules and his bid should not be con-

If the McLouth bid is thrown out the
lowest bidder will be that of J. w.

the next bidder, the Missouri Valley
company. Hoover has the contract for
the brick yards bridge and this morn
ing Joe Young of the Missouri Valley
company wished the commissioners to
reject his bid because he has not yet
put up his bond. The representative of
the American Bridge company showed
the commissioners a letter stating that
the steel mills have commenced work
on the material for the brick yards
bridge.
