OPEN BIDS TODAY.
Make Second Attempt to Let Contract
for Inter County Ditch,

for nter-County Ditch.
A second attempt to let the con-
tract for the Story Marshall county
drainage ditch was made today at a
joint meeting of the boards of super
visors of the two counties, held at Ne
vada. Bids were opened, and if the
price asked is not too high the con-
tract will probably be awarded. Bids
for the work We're opened more than
a month ago, but all of them were so
much above the engineers estimate
that all We're rejected and new bids
were advertised for. From what could
be learned from the local supervisors
today, apparently little interest is be-
ing taken in the work by contractors.
Supervisors w. H. Jones, N o. Keen
and Elias Bueghley, and County Audi
tor Erastus Cornell went to Nevada
this morning to attend the meeting.
