REJECT BIDS FOR THE TRACK Fair Committee Holds a
 Meeting. FIGURES WERE TOO HIGH New Estimates to Be Submitted
 Next Tuesday. Plans for Exhibit Buildings of Mont xomery Show Are Agreed Upon and Contractors Asked to
 Prepare Bids.
FIGURES WERE TOO HIGH

All the bids submitted for the con struction of the Afsbama Agricultural Association race track were rejected by the Executive Committee of that or ranization yesterday. and Tuesday next set as a new date on which additional bids for the work are to be submitted.
 A section in the specifications for the work, which. 1t is thought. was the cause of misunderstanding to the con- tractors who entered the competition, was changed, and the postponement was taken to give opportunity for other bids under the changed conditions.
 The figures presented to the commit tee when the, bids were opened, the members of the committee thought, were all too high. The specifications for the track provided that layer of finer material should be put on top of the track foundation to the depth of two inches. This covering, the spec ifcations demanded, should be com posed of screened earth where asked for by the engineer, and the finer ma terial and foundation material were both to be included Tn one bid. It de- veloped at the meeting that all the con- tractors had calculated upon the basis

of a top crust of two inches around the entire track. of the screened earth. As stated by Engineer washburn. how will need screening. It was, decided, therefore. to change the nature of the specifications so that bidders must make their estimates upon the amounts of both ordinary earth and screened earth used. and for this purpose the old bid was rejected, new bids were asked for, the date upon which they will be opened being set for Tuesday.
 Bids were Opened.
 The meeting of the Executive Com of the Association. 40 t-2 Commerce Street, shortly after 10 o'clock by Pres ident w. F. Vandiver, and the opening of bids was immediately taken up There were five applications submit ted for consideration.
 According to the specifications, the bidders had been confined to three es- timates-rthe bids being on moving dirt to the track, and rolling it. to 24-inch pipe for drainage. and to 15inch pipe for the same purpose. Of the five bids submitted, the prices at which the diff ferent contractors offered to build the track ranged from 3S 1-2 cents to 75 cents per cubic yard. All of these were considered too high. and the change in the specifications, permitting the bid ders to make separate estimates for screened and unscreened earth, was de- cided upon by the committee.
 The secretary was instructed to ad- vertise for additional bids. under the new specifications. which Engineer Washburn was instructed 10 have pre- pared at once These will be opened Tuesday morning next at 10 o'clock, when the Executive Committee will hold another meeting in the Association rooms.
 Plans for Buildings.
 After the disposal of the bids for the race track, the plans of four of the buildings for the big State Fair, which IS to be held in Montgomery October 22 to 27. were taken up. The rough outlines of these buildings had been prepared previously, when the commit tee made it's selection week ago, and gave the work of drawing them to an architect but the suggestions made at that time had not been complied with and submitted to the committee be- fore.
 Plans for four of the buildings ware presented, discussed and approved. and the architect was instructed to give out copies of them and specificatiops so far as they have been prepared to contractors wishing to bid upon inc work. Bids are to remain open until next Friday morning, when another
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-04-22

meeting of the Executive Committee will be held for the purpose of award ing them.
 The four buildings which were taken up yesterday were the main building, which is to be called Exhibit Hall, the Administration Building of the Asso- citation, and the dairy and poultry buildings. The first of these Is the largest and will be the most imposing building when completed in Vandiver Park.
 Shaped Like Greek Cross.
 This building will be an immense structure, shaped like a Greek cross. with it's greatest length 220 feet and it's width 200 feet. The foundations are to be of concrete, and the floors of ce- ment, with timbers imbedded to give a baseboard for the booths which will be erected Of these booths, the plans show there will be 141. averaging ten feet square throughout the building
 A gallery. twenty feet wide, will ex- tend around the entire building, and on this, as well as on the main floor, will be located booths for special and gener- al exhibit booths, leaving the remain der as a promenade from which the en- tire lower floor may be seen.
 TO insure easy ingress and egress, four doors will be built in the struct-  low easy outlet to any crowd which the building will ever hold. in case of fire or other panic. There are to be two main aisles. running at right angles to each other. and extending between the main entrances on the opposite, sides or the building. These are to be twelve feet in width.
 In addition to the main aisles. there will be four smaller aisles. flanking the main walks, each of which Is to be ten feet in width. These will be con nected by lateral walks at the ends Of the building, so that there will be one continuous promenade around the inner circumference of the building To avoid congestion. there will be an open square in the center of the building large enough to accommodate the crowds from the tributary aisles.
 Two stairways will be btult, one at each end of the building, for admittance to the gallery. and these ascents will be ten feet in width.
 The exterior of the building will be of ornate appearance. Above the center of the structure there will be a cupola, surmounted by flag stan. From the ground to the top of the staff will be a distance of eigthy-eight feet.
 Administration Building.
 Much stress has been laid in the plans for the Administration building, as this will contain the offices of the Assocla- ton. and here will be conducted the business of the Association during the

of larm lands. You may get one of these ten-acre tracts They are situated near the town and are suitable for truck farming or small country home. There is always a market for this kind of property and should you get one of these little farms you would experience no trouble whatever in selling it at handsome profit or exchange it for a town lot of equal value. We have tried to so divide the town and farm lots that they are all practically equal in value. You get bargain when you are able to buy any lot we offer for such very small price as so 50

Read Our Plan Carefully.

Send us $22.50 by check. P.

Value of the Lots.

To illustrate the value of these lots and to show you what other people think of them it is but necessary for us to call your attention to the fact that the 9th and 7th of December lo05 at an auction sale of lots at Double Run, we sold more than 100 of these at an average price of from $40 to $45 each. These lots were not picked out as the best. We sold in various parts of the town and have reserved many of the lots throughout all sections of the town alongside of the ones sold in our effort to make all of the lots now offered as nearly equal in value possible. We positively will not sell any of the lots that now offering at private sale Notwithstanding efforts to make all lots as nearly equal in value possible. a condition which makes one lot extremely valuable for one purpose. may not be true of another lot; but some other condition may make the last named lot as valuable as the first and vice versa
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-04-22

Mr. Vaudeville has lease on the above lots which expires about the middle of July. 1906. The above lots are no more valuable than the average lots almost any lots in the whole town worth fully as much as the ones named above. Of course if you should get any one or all of the above lots you could sell them or keep them. But if you should desire to sell them you may do so. and the money will be ready to turn to you the day of the division. We refer you to the statement of Mir. B. s. Dunlap. Cash fer of the Cordele National Bank. of Cordele Ga. who states that Mr. Vaudeville has the security there in the bank to pay for the land when called upon to do so. as stated above It will. in our opinion. be no trouble to sell any. lot you may have at profit should you so desire.
 For illustration: Should you get lot No. 38, on block No. IS. in the division you could, the day of the division or within 30 days thereafter. accept $l. .000 in cash for same or keep it as you like. or. should it so happen that you would get lots Nos 36. 37, 38, 3o and 40 on block No. IS. which entirely possible. you could accept the 800 offered for them.

How itis Possible.

The reason we arc able to sell you ten-acre farm lot or a town lot in Double Run. that is destined to make splendid little city in the near future. at the small price of $22.50 is because we offering you opportunity to buy while the town is new. That great developer. the railroads have just opened up this section to the civilzing influences of man. What other sections in South Georgia have done. is now about to be repeated at Double Run.
 The railroads have just been built. The town and country IS new. You are buying first hand. Or course. when the town IS older and the lots have been sold many times. each seller making profit. then they will be higher Thus has it ever been and so shall it ever be- Buy now while the prices are low and reap the benefit of the higher prices that are sure to follow this first sale
 This investment of $2250 now may be the means of starting you on the road to. fortune. Suppose you buy lot for $22 50 and can sell it within 30 days time or less for $I ,000 or more, don't you think it For any further information apply to Sou
