IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
BIDS ON COUNTY work SHOW 1T
A Contract That Was Advertised
r~.s Sought by Eight Bidders
...ra Bridge Bids Few. "

Bids were opened by the county COM
missioners this morning for repairing and
rebuilding bridges and for supplying forty
seven personal property assessment books,
and some striking lessons were conveyed
to the commissioners. The books were
advertised for in the daily papers and
there were eight bidders, one from St.
Paul, there being a range Of $10O on a
small contract. ~
The bridge work was advertised for by
lacking up. notices on trees in the rural
districts. AS result, there was only one
bid on each Of three contracts and on the
fourth there were only three bids and
there was little difference in the figures.
The latter advertisements were out be-
fore the new law regulating the manner
of doing public work became operative,
but the practice of only sticking up no.
tees along the country roads will not
be followed and hereafter they will also
go into the newspapers. -sH
The contract for supplying forty-seven
volumes Of personal property assessment
books was awarded to the Great Western
Printing company at $125. The highest
figure named was 1925. -- rs.
. To George Turnham and J. Reyes was
awarded the contract for rebuilding the
steel bridge in Orono at $685. There
were two other bids, the highest being
SO, 100. George Turnham and j., Reyes
secured the contract for work on bridge
No. 81 over Elm creek, at 1929. Joseph
Gleason secured the contract for bridge
No. POI over Rush creek at $275, and for
bridge Mo- 2G2 over Rush creek at $685.
These were the. only bidders
County Surveyor Cooley was directed

AN ALL.SIAR CONCERT
Hofmann, Gerardy and Krefsler to
Be Heard Here on the Same
Program.

It seems that the best wine of the local
musical feast for this season has been
reserved until almost the last. The an
nouncement that Josef Hoffman, pianist,
Jean Gerardy, cellist, and Fritz Kreisler,
violinist, have Joined forces and are going
to make short tour, appearing in Min
neapolis at the Lyceum theater on the
evening of April "a, is most extraordi-
nary. Rarely have three such great in
strumentalists been heard on the same
program, and the event will be one Of
the most important in the musical history
Of Minneapolis. .-.z e., = -. . +
Each of these three artists has been
appearing in concert and recital during
the winter, and it is but recently that a
combination has been formed permitting
them to play together. The opening con-
cert OF the series will be given in SYM
phony hall, Boston. next Saturday even
ing. % '. .,.-....--
OF the three artists 1t would be difficult
to pick out the best, although Holman is
better known here. Those who heard him
on the occasion of his last visit will not
soon forget his tremendous rendition Of
the Tannhauser overture, which liter
ally brought the house to it's feet, and to
his feet as we'll. Jean Gerardy, the cellist,
is about the same age as young Holman,
and yet he has achieved almost as high
a position as player on his chosen in
strument. His last Minneapolis appear
ance was about four years ago, when he
was still boy, and he showed remark
able precocity even then. Since that
time he has been developing as a must
clan and as an artist, and has literally
conquered his world. Kreisler is consid-
cred by many critics a much greater "alI
around" artist than Kubelik.
The programs arranged for these three
celebrities consist not only of solo num-
bers for each Of the three, but ensembles
as we'll, which will afford the keenest de-
light to lovers of good music It will be
to the music lover like listening to an
"all-star" performance of some dramatic
mast erpiece.

A CHARTER BATTLE
Minneapolis Charter Union Ready
for Another Attack
N THE PRESENT CITY LAWS
OF the Union Held Some
Time Ago.

The stanch friends Of the charter re-
form movement have struck hands with
some of the more conservative of the for
mer enemies OF charter reform, and there
is good prospect now that, with favorable
action by the people on the constitutional
amendments to be voted upon next fall,
the day of reform charter, or, at least.
home-rule charter for Minneapolis, is
not far off. ~
After the election of 1900, those espec-
tally interested, founded loose organiza-
ton called the Minneapolis Charter union.
the object of which was to keep track of
local conditions and see that in due sea.
son another attempt for charter reform
was made. An alliance was effected be-
tween those favorable to the last charter
proposed and those who opposed it, but
generally in favor of charter reform. The
executive committee of the new organiza-
ton was made up on this basis and its
personnel is representative. The new
members are Messrs. Drake, Field Nc
Laughlin and Mc1nerny representative
labor men; James Everington of the East
Side, and Dr.. P. M. Holl, former prom
inent Southside democrat. The others are
we'll known for their past devotion to
charter reform. These gentlemen got to-
gether and agreed to the definite line of
action contained in the following resolu-
lions:
Resolved, first, That this committee 1s IN
favor of promptly making another effort to
establish home-rule charter under the
amendments made to the state constitution
for that purpose. i
Second-That, to that end, we are in favor
OF meeting the practical difficulties which
have hindered so far the adoption Of such a
charter, by inducing the present charter com
mission to prepare for submission to the
electors charter with the least practicable
changes in substance from the present city
charter; except that the new charter, SO to be
prepared and submitted, should provide for
city elections to he held at some other time
than the general state or national elections.
