Mr.. Bryant did the rest. When II
was proposed to complete the Uni

II was estimated that the work would
cost thirty-five hundred dollars. The
county commissioners told Mr.. Bry-
ant that he could have clever hun
dred dollars 10 do the work. With
grim determination Mr.. Bryant went
at the really uphill job. With men
and teams, harrows and scrapers. and
lastly the steam roller-loaned by
the city to Mr.. Bryant. and not to

overseer saw where every dollar of
the eleven hundred dollars was going.
In one week he discharged sixty men.
Every one OF the sixty men Thought
that as the job was a public service
job, II was consequently an easy
berth. Bryant fired man after man
until the laborers realized that they
would have 10 either ply the pick and
shovel with all the strength of which
they were capable. or look for an
other job.
