GLEASON BRIDGE
 CONTRACT IS LET CONTRACTOR LOWERS BID REDUCES FIGURES $1,7OO AFT. FER LOWEST COMPETITIVE
 BID IS REJECTD.

After the lowest competitive bid had been rejected and the contract for the new steel bridge across Cadron creek at Gleason had been withheld George A. Larimer of the Larimer- burgett Bridge Go. of Memphis, who had previously put In a bid of s8,9OO late yesterday afternoon offered to erect the bridge for $7,2OO and the offer was accepted by County Judges J. w. Holt of Faulkner county and J w. Johnston of Conway county and the commissioners, R. B. McCulloch and F. U. Halter of Faulkner and c, W. Gordon and J. NJ. Scroggin of Con- way county
 The reduced bid for the bridge came | about, 1t is stated, as a result of a personal pledge by Judge Holt that the portion to be paid in Faulkner county scrip would be handled locally on the basis of 80 cents on the dollar In making their bids early in the aft ernoon each of the five bidders stated publicly that they were figuring Faulkner county warrants upon the basis of 50 cents on the dollar. They stated that they were unable to get an offer for the scrip, but the Conway banks had agreed to accept the war rants as collateral up to 50 cents on the dollar, and they used this as a basis for their bids.
 While 80 cents is little above the present market value of scrip, Judge Holt figures that the reissue proceed lngs, showing the actual indebtedness to be considerably less than the books show, will enhance the price and that Conway merchants, who have already subscribed 5000 in cash for the bridge, will be willing to handle the warrants for the bridge company at the stipulated price.
 The total length of the new bridge will be 330 feet, the main span being l3O feet, with approaches on either side 100 feet in length. The work is to be completed and the bridge put into commission by September l next.
 While Judge Johnston and the Con- way county commissioners left this city before the contract was drafted, Judge Holt is confident that there will be no further hitch. Mr. Larimer went to Morrilton to secure their sig natures to the contract this morning.
 Under the terms of the contract Conway county will pay third of the cost, S2,400 and will build good road through the Cadron bottom to reach the bridge. Faulkner county will issue $3,s00 in county scrip and $1,000 will be in cash by local sub- scriptions. Figuring the Faulkner scrip at 80 cents, the actual cash cost of the bridge will be $6,440.

So many filings were made during the afternoon and night that the totals had not been footed up this afternoon. A total of 364 filings were made, the great majority of which, however, were for small amounts, ranging from 50 cents to $5. Clerk Lea stated that the total will hardly exceed his esti- mate of yesterday, about 43,5O0.
