one in this part of the town, only the

THE CONTRACTS LET.
Commissioners Receive Numerous Bids
for Construction of County Bridges.

Commissioners Receive Numerous Bids
for Construction of County Bridges
In accordance with the advertisement
appearing in these columns some weeks
ago the county commissioners received
bids up to June 2Sth, for the building OF
seven county bridges, most OF them
being small structures, located one In
Beaver township, one in Falls Creek
borough, one in McCalmont, two in
Perry. one in Gaskill and one in Polk.
The bidding was quite general, the fol-
lowing firms submitting bids on the
super-structure of the bridges Rodgers
Bros, York Bridge Co, Climax Road
Machine Co., Nelson Construction Co,
Penn Bridge Co, Toledo Massilon
Bridge Co., Canton Bridge Co., Owego
Bridge Co, A. Buchanan, while the list
of bidders on the structure of the
several bridges was as follows Coon Il
Silver, J. H. Baum, John Evans, G. A.
Gocella, A. b. Means, w. NJ. Star,
Wade Coon, E. L Reitz, Newton Webs
ster, V. r.. Holman, A. B. B. Howard,
David Melzer, A. F. Reitz, G. j Bridge
and P. P Best.
The advertisement as published call
ed for separate and sealed proposals for
the several bridges, and upon opening
the same it was found that the firm OF
Rodgers Bros. was the lowest bidder on
the separate bridges advertised. The
Toledo Massilion Co.. however, submit
ted, in addition to their bids on the
separate bridges, which was slightly
higher than that of Rodgers Bros, an
aggregate bid of S4262 for the work,
this aggregate sum being lower than
the aggregate of separate bids made by
the Rodgers firm, but inasmuch as the
Rodgers firm was entitled to the con-
tract under the wording of the adver-
tisement on their low bid for the
separate bridges they voluntarily Offer
ed to reduce their bid in the aggregate
to 81, 250, in order not to put the COM
missioners in the light of paying more
for the work than the Toledo Massilion
Co. offered to construct 1t for.
The bids for the sub-structure being
opened the following contractors were
found to be low bidders for the several
bridges named and they have been
awarded the contract, subject to the
courts approval
E. L. Reitz, Panzy Run bridge, s5.45
Gu. yd. stone.
A. F. Reitz, Falls Creek bridge, s.. 40

The bids received for the construc-
tion of this work by the commissioners
are quite low, and the money saved to
the county demonstrates very clearly
the wisdom of the recent legislative act
requiring the advertising of bids in all
the county construction work-Brook-
vile Republican.

FAVORS WARD SCHOOLS
The School Question Is an Inn
portant Matter in City Affairs.

To the Light: To those that have
children the school question is the
most important of all questions in
city affairs. To have a good seho.sl
put out of reach is worse than no
school at ALL This condition neeu
not exist and will not if those inter
ested will only take the matter in
hand. If those living at distance
from the public school do not insist
upon their rights it is certain nothing
will be done. Those living in East
End, West End and Bullard Heights
by acting together could have the
ward school system inaugurated, and
thus avoid turning loose their sman
children to travel a mile or more in
all kinds of weather. Other cities
have found the ward system a sue
cess. Now, what is to be done? 1t
is not necessary to make war on the
trustees or city council, but is neces-
sary to combine and press our de-
mands. The excuse of lack of funds
will always exist. There is always a
way where there is a will. In the
first place | would suggest that those
