CONWAY COMPANY OUT.
Will Not Compete Longer With Barber
PAVING Company at St. Paul

The Barber Asphalt company now
has a monopoly of the business in st.
Paul The Conway Asphalt Paving
company has Withdrawn from the field
II will not be heard from, it is said,
until a contract worthy of considera-
tion is up for bids.
The first failure Of the Conway COM
pany to compete with it's rival the
Barber company, WAS when bids were
called for the paving of Ramsey
street some weeks ago. The reason
given then was that the company did
not want the work because the street
was encountered with Car tracks.
Yesterday bids were opened by the
board of public works for the paving
of Crocus place, from Fairmount to
Goodrich, but the Barber company
was alone in the competition. No
reason was advanced by the local rep
resentatives for the failure of the
Conway company to appear.
1t is now said that the Conway con-
eern has abandoned the ST. Paul field
entirely and will hereafter con6ne its
attention to other localities where at
present it has big contracts.
What work it has done in st. Padl,
it ia said, has been at loss.
