COMMISSION
MARKS TIME ON BIDS
Holds Meeting and Discusses
Changes but Does Not
Award Contract.

Much preliminary work preparatory
to letting the contract for tho state
! capitol was accomplished yesterday at
an all~day session Of the capitol COM
| inession. This work included close
comparison of the tabulated bids on al
formative propositions. The commi mission
also discussed in detail proposed sub
stitutlons Of material and the chang
ing Of specifications on which the
bids were based in somo minor particu-
lars
Tho commission will hold a public
meeting at noon today AT its offices
i'll the Felt building, when bids for the
excavation will be opened. The exca'
walton contract will not bo LET. how
ever. until later. Another executive
session will be held tomorrow, begin
ming at II o clock in the forenoon.
All mcmbers of tho commission at
tended yesterdays meeting-Governor
Spry, Attorney General w. K. Barnes,
M. 5. Browning, Secretary of State
Charles s. Tingey. John Dern, Col
onel G. II. Loose, Anton III. Lund and
X. Is. A. Klettipg. the architect. From
the tabulatIons the James Stewart COM
pany appears to be the lowest bidder
on every proposition. The commission
tract to the lowest bidder, but the SEN
timcnt of the members seems TO be that
the contract should be let TO the low
est responsible bidder,
The fact that the bids are lower
than expected makes possible the sub
stitution Of better material in some
instances than was designated in the
original specifications, These substi-
tutions were the principal subject of
discussion Yesterday. IL is considered
certain that tho commission will let the
contract before the first Of the year
and possibly within few days. No
definite decision was reached vester-
day as to the proposed changes in the
specifications, bnt ii is likely that the
commissioners will agree on the changes
before the last Of the week. With
little more preliminary work the COM
mission will be ready to let tho con,
tract.
