which the Garfield Coun&y HisA School
committee found Themselves Tuesday
when they tried to figure out how they
could construct . county high school
building for tES 10000 at their dis
Posal when they could easily spend
$A5,OOO on the building, if they had it,
and not have . cent too much.
1t was no easy task and the boari.
after going over all the figures very
carefully, decided that Stewart 4 Nur.
ply Of Denver were the lowest bidders
and voted to award them the contract
upon the furnishing = good bond in this
amount of the contract.
The bids were to have been opened

out the heating and plumbing was 4s3.-
900 and the highest bid was $1,000.
The bids for plumbing and heating
varied from $500 to Al2,7oo a.d thus

been shooting wide Of the nasf.
The bid Of Stewart L Murphy which
the board has agreed to Aeespt is
s37,74o, but this calls for . single

repeated trouble caused by the shi1gls
