Opened Last Thursday Noon at Du-
luth, MINI.
Bids We're for Extension and
Fill to the Ashland
Breakwater.

Last Thursday at Duluth the
bibs for the placing of riprap on
the breakwater at Ashland and
for removing the slabs and other
material now there. were opened
by Major German. There were
a nun Der of bidders for the
work, the Northern Dredge Co.,
of Duluth being the lowest with
bid of 97c per ton.
No award was made. the bids
having been sent to Washington.
In addition the stone proposed
to be used on the work must be
satisfactory to the engineer, and
upon satisfying this specification
largely depends the award OF
the contract.
Over 10000 tons of stone will
nave TO Oe uSed Je complete the
job and this will in all probabili-
ty be taken from the quarries on
this side of the bay. The North
ern Dredge company, the lowest
bidders, are now operating the
quarry just above this city and
If they land the contract the
stone will be taken from their
quarry. If other contractors
land the job the stone will pro-
baby come from Houghton. In
either case it means the employ
ment of a large number, of men
at the quarries for a period of
about two years.
