BIDS ARE ALL
REJECTED TODAY
Board of Public Works Find
Engineers Estimate Is
Too Low.

Bids on the deep sewer system and
municipal light plant for Hammond
were opened at meeting of the board
read were rejected and the matter car
ried over till August IS for advise
ment. In the meantime Engineer
Shields, the architect of the plans, will
be called upon to explain his estimate
of s675.000 which bidders claim is from
two to three hundred dollars shy and
represents dess than the actual cost of
construction.
If the estimate of three contract
ing firms who constituted the bidders
today is any criterion the deep sewer
system is a million dollar job and will
never be constructed for less. F. Proud
foot of Chicago was the lowest at some
thing less than 100000, Matt Lavene
was high with a trif1le over a million.
Nash Brothers hit the million mark.
AS warning to contractors attorneys
for the anti-deep sewer crowd filed
their complaint against the project in
the Circuit Court at Crown Point yes
terday. That gives the job a risk that
1t is not likely any but Tom Lavene
knew about. Whether 1t will have a
tendency to scare off contractors or not
remains to be seen. The board will
readvertise for bids and If possible
carry the sewer through, ignoring the
remonstra tors. What they will do with
the sale of the bonds remains to be
seen

escaped being injured last Sunday aft
ernoon when a horse and buggy IN
which he was riding was struck by

badly damaged and Griffin who was
thrown out of the buggy with consid-
erable force escaped injury with the
exception of a few bruises.

his way to Hammond. He noticed an
automobile speeding ahead of him and
another in the rear and fearing a col
lision he drove the vehicle into the
ditch The oncoming auto did not
turn out of the road and collided with
the buggy wheel, tearing it off as IL

Turning around to see that the
buggy had been struck. the driver Of
the machine made no attempt to stop

The only description that Griffin was
able to give of the machine and occu-

The town of Miller has discovered

1t is a brown insect, more than an

length, adorn it's brow and seemingly
from them it emits utters or gives

does, a rasping sound startlingly like

Union City High School.

The annual appearance OF the Ora
matte Club of the High School bids
fair to supersede all former efforts
They are rehearsing in play that is
peculiarly Southern in its type. 1t has
in it the grace Of southern temperament
and the charm Of Southern skies. II
is comedy seasoned with enough
pathos to make it palatable to the cpl
cure. 1t was written by Oliver Perry
Parker, Tennessean OF the younger
generation. This fact alone is suf-
ficient guarantee OF the mental piquancy
of the Winning of Latene Cashton. +"
The comedy contains five acts, one Of
which is laid in chemical laboratory
where "Trusty," the old faithful mig
GER" gets entangled with "busticating
things"
The play calls for fifteen characters.
These have been selected from the best
in the High School. The best, this
year, is fully equal to that OF preced-
ing years. This ensures you an even
ing OF profitable pleasure.
II you wish an evening OF laughter,
prepare to be with us. If you wish an
evening OF uplifting sentiment, spend
thirty-five cents for ticket.
