REJECTED

Ed r. Johns. who attended the open
ing Of bids in Guthrie yesterday fol
the erection Of the building for the
State Industrial school in this city, has
returned and reports that all bids were
rejected as being too high. There
were b'f three bids submitted, one Of
these being sl17O0o. one $4,000, and
one $lsS.O00.
1t being the impression that the
building cannot be constructed accord
ing 10 the plans submitted for an
amount within the appropriation, the
beard decided to have the architect
remodel his plans and specifications to
come within the scope desired say
$4,000 to $95 900. This win be attend
ed to as soon as possible so that the
work may not be delayed to the detri-
ment Of the school
Another feature which was deyel-
oped at this meeting Of the board was
that Chickasha must yet raise about
81 500 OF the $1,000 incidental fund
which was required.
