BIDS ARE TOO HIGH
FOR APPROPRIATION
Aggregate Amount Of Bids About
S15, 900 in Excess of Appro-
priation Voted.

The village council met in regular ses-
sion Monday evening, when bids on the
construction of the dam were opened
They were taken under consideration
and council adjourned until Tuesday
evening. Claims were allowed in the
sum of S904l0.
At the special session Tuesday even
ing the bids were carefully considered.
The Illinois Bridge Co.'S figures for the
construction of the dam and installation
of all machinery IN the plant with direct
connection was S46, 400, while that of
George Hickman Sons of Kalamazoo was
$685. ,379 for construction alone.
The cost of flowage, according to op-
tions now in hand, is SlS,OOO.OS. Thus
it will be seen that the whole cost, in
cluding embankments, ETC.. would be
above S65 900, an excess OF more than
$4,000 above the appropriation. The
proposition, therefore, seems to be sup
in the all" for the present at least. All
bids were rejected and returned to the
respective bidders.
The position taken by the council was
to build the dam if it could be done for
the amount voted by the people. But
they do not feel justified in going ahead
with the work at so great an expense in
excess of the appropriation as voted.

A FROST WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Thermometer Registered II Above
Zero. Considerable Loss TO
Grape Growers.

There was an exceedingly heavy frost
last Wednesday night, the first one of
the season. The mercury stood II de-
grees above zero and in some sections
even lower than that. The weather has
been 80 fine and the prices of grapes ris-
ing so invitingly that the fruitgrowers
have not rushed the harvest as they
might have done GIapes remaining on
the vines will have to be picked at once
or they will drop to the ground.
The fall of snow in some sections of
the country was heavy. 1t is reported

Many Fines Collected i.

Prosecuting Attorney Chase has been
very busy during the past year. From
October l, 1905, to October l, 1906, there
was paid on account OF convictions
s2,28l 86. This is more than was ever
collected before in the same manner and
length of time. The salary for prose
cutor in Van Buren, county is exceeding
ly small for the amount done. 1t would
seem that in the great county of Van
Buren, the citizens would feel proud to
give salary to the prosecutor which
would be adequate for the work done.
