CONTRACT LET
FOR BERWICK BRIDGE

The Board of Public Buildings and
Grounds at Tuesdays meeting In the
Executive chambers at Harrisburg let
the contract for the Berwick Nesco-
peck bridge to the York Bridge Com
pany, the contract price being 5000, 800.
Prior to the letting there WAS fought
the hardest fight between the bidders
that has marked any bridge letting in
recent years. partly because OF the fact
that the contract was big one and
partly because it was practically the
last of the many bridges which the
State has recently let.
The fighting started the day before
the letting and then prices began to
tumble Every means of ascertaIninR
the others bid was employed and
soon the figures went down below the
estimated cost-$235, 900.
Charles H Reimard, of Bloomsbury,
was one of the bidders, and one of the
lowest ones as we'll. The first bid
opened was that of the Lane Bridge
Company, at $265, 200. Reimard's bid
OF 1922, 9Sl was the second opened and
when the amount was read the Gov
ernor allowed his surprise at the big
difference in the amount to be man
ifested.
With each bid it was necessary that
there be deposited with the State
Treasurer a certified check for $23. 500
The bids were as follows:
Lane Bridge Co., 1865. 600 O. II.
Reimard, 1922. 98l; W. H. Stebbins,
t2l8. 900; National Bridge Co. .22l. 800

tion Co. 1921, $50; Horn g. Neff $2l9.

Ii Is expected that month will see
the start of work on the bridge for the
purpose is to expedite the work rs
much as possible. 1t will take some
time to get the contract in shape and

will in all probability be re-let

Weak

Are due TO indigestion. Nnety-nIne Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. 1t is a scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
uaceabe to, but are the direct result Of indi-
geston. All food taken into the stomach
which fails OF perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting il up against tho
heart. This intcrferes with the action OF

delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

Summer Advertising.

This idea that people stop buying
things just because summer is coming
is unsound. Apply it to your own case.
You live the same, dress the same, need
the same comforts and indulge III the
same luxuries during the summer that
you do at other seasons.
We venture to say that you spend
more money proportionately during
the summer months.
During the summer you spend a
goodly portion of money you have
earned during the rest OF the year. If
this is true why are you not iufiueno.
ed by advertisements you see in the
summer time as by those seen at other
seasons.
Then if your advertising is season
able, if it is something that is used
and bought in the summer time. why
is 1t not going to bring satisfactory re-
suits Admit the promises and you
must grant the conclusion
Chief of Police Roney, of Dubois, is
having lots of trouble these days. He
is the defendant in number of libel
suits brought by fellow citizens and
in each case furnished bail in the sum
of $500 for his appearance at court.
These troubles of the chief arise from
his having posted the names of suppos-
ed intemperate individuals in the ho-
tells, the chief having personally done
the posting.
