BRIDGE CONTRACTS.
Eight bidders Contest for Ohio
County Work - Champion
Bridge Co. Successful.

Bids were opened at the Office of
County Judge Taylor last Monday,
by the County Commissioners, for
the construction Of an iron bridge
across Adams Fork Creek above
Dundee, S5 feet long, and one over
Haney Creek below Hefiin, 45-feet
long. There were eight bids re-
turned, representing almost all the
bridge construction companies in
the United States. The bids were
put in sealed, and opened in public.
The Champion Bridge Co, of Ohio,
was successful in each award. The
job at Haney Creek was sub-let to
the Eigenman Construction Co., of
Owensboro. The bridge at Adams
Fork will cost the county $1,700, and
the one at Haney Greek $500.
There is no doubt but that the
county was saved a large amount OF
money in the two contracts by the
public advertising and sealed bid
plan.
