DULUTH NEWS.
The bids for the construction of the
wallis and roof of the new st. james
church, were opened last week. and
1t is claimed that the size of the bids
has put Il dampcr on starting the
work on the supcrstructure right
away. Al of the bids have been re-
jectcd. The lowest bid was $13,5OO,
and there was not over $4OO difference
in the three bids. The figures are
rather disappointing to the ST. james
congreGa ton. for the reason that it
had been supposed from the plans that
the SuperStructure would not cost
over $4,000 or $4,000, but at the rate
of increase over the estimate, the
church will now cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 before it is completed. The
foundation work is completed and it
had been hoped that the wallis and
roof of the new cdifice which was to
have been one of the most attractive
church buildings in the city, would be
completed for the interior decorations
by next spring. Just how long the
work will now be delayed is not
known, us the matter is now under
adviscmcnt, and other plans will have
to be made relative to the getting of
new bids.
