0. J. PRUITT WON
SECURED BIC CONTRACT FoR NEW
 ROAD,
His Bid Was The Lowest Made To The Board Of Revenue At Yes-
 terdayss Meeting.

Bids for the building of the new roadway. seventeen miles long. were yesterday morning opened by the Board of Revenue at their weekly session. The opening of the bids was done in executive session in order to facilitate the discussion of the various items. As result of this discussion of the Flowers Road and q short part of the Pike Road with con- meeting thoroughfares was awarded to O. J Pruitt of this city.
 There were many outside bidders for the work and but two home firms. Representatives of the outside firms expressed much surprise that the bids should be opened in executive session, but the county enginer explained that the discussion. Bidders were welcome to see him afterward and learn the ap- proximate figures.
 The lowest bid for the building of the roadway was made by O. J. Pruitt whose bid approximated s3s.0o0. to which figure the cost of the gravel will make the total approximate s60.00o in all. The next lowest bidder was ap- proximateiy slbo above that of MT. Fruits.
 The contract for the building of the bridge over Jones's slough was let to Austin Brothers of Atlanta their bid being less than $500 for the bridge complete. The qualifications call for steel trestle on concrete abutments. Jones's slough is near Berachias.
 These new roads to be built will be thoroughly up to date. They will have two layers of gravel. each of which will be thoroughly rolled by a ten ton steam roller. This will be the first time that a steam roller has been used from the first stages Of construction to the leveling and surface packing.
 Other than the opening of the road bids there was little business before the board. The little that was acted upon was purely routine passing of small bills.
