D. J. ROGERS
AWARDED CONTRACT

Information was given out by the
State Highway department at Harris
burg last week and reprinted in these
columns to the effect that Berghans g.
Moffit of Harrisburg were the lowest
bidders for the paving and macadam
to be constructed in this city with
State aid. Since then. it appears, the
schedule of bids has been revised and
that d. J. Rogers, of this city, is the
lowest bidder.
The schedule of bids both for the
brick paving and the macadam was
forwarded to this city Friday, ac-
companied by a communication from
the assistant highway commissioner,
addressed to the borough council,
which pointed out that the bids sub
mitted by d. j. Rogers "are not ex-
cessive." The assistant highway COM
missioner forwarded two copies of the
agreement, which the law requires to
be entered into between the State and
the borough, asking that council sign
the same, if it approves of it, and for
ward the papers to the State highway
department
