JOS. Schmidt, st. james, 795O.OO
VIM. O'Shea, Minneapolis $780,. 90
Security Bridge Co., Mime
apolls ------------------ 10000
All bids were based on the same
plans and specifications which were
furnished by the State Highway Com
mission for the bridge so it was de-
cided to award the job to the lowest
bidder. The VIM. O'Shea Company
consequently got the work with their
bid of $5897.OO. .
The Board then proceeded to trans
act other business Of minor impor-
lance. On motion, they rescinded
their action regarding the resolution
passed on Jan. 9th to deposit 500 in
the name of Arnold Gulden to de-
fray incidental expenses of the Poor
Farm.
Commissioners Graft and Erickson
we're appointed a committee to meet
with the County Commissioners Of
Watonwan County at ST. James on
Wednesday,, March 18th, to discuss
with then. the advisahiiity of erect
ing a joint tuberculosis hospital for
Brown, Nicollet and Watonwan CouE-

able action on this project. a SINH
lar committee, consisting of Commits
sioners Henle and Steinke was ap-
pointed to meet with the County
Commissioners of Redwood County
or Thursday, March 18th.
w. C. Miller, Register Of Deeds,
appeared before the board and re-
quested that his office be furnished
with a typewriter and a rural tele-
phone. The Commissioners acted IA
vorably on the request and the Pur-
chasing Committee was authorized to
get the typewriter and install the
telephone.
An auctioneer's license for year
was granted to Palm Carlson of
Comfrey. A communication from the
State Highway Commission was read
stating that New Ulm had been al
lowed $4,000 for state road purpos-
es. The applications for the refund
ment OF taxes to Loring Altenburg
OF Milford and Fred Schultz of Eden
received the approval of the Board
and were recommended to the State
Tax Commission.
In accordance with the suggestion
of the State Highway Commission.
1t was moved that the State Rural
highway No. 81 should commence
at the south east corner of Section
"a, Township 10, Range 81, thence
west Ia miles, thence south II mile.
thence west about 51s miles to the
west quarter of Section 80.
The usual budget of bills was then
allowed and the meeting adjourned.
Commissioners Graft and Erickson
attended the meeting of the County
commissioners of Watonwan Countv
held at St. James last Wednesday
but failed in their efforts to secure
favorable action on the Joint sana-
toria proposition. Altho not averse
to joint hospital the Commissioners
Of Watonwan feel that Blue Earth
County should be induced to become
a party to the project.
Thursday Commissioners Henle and
Steinke met with the Redwood Coun-
ty Commissioners and presented to
them the joint hospital proposition
and informed them that it is the de-
sire of Brown County that Redwood
County should join with NicolIet.
Watonwan and Brown Counties IN
the matter Of building a tuberculosis
sanitarium. The Redwood Commits
sioners were not ready to take action
and the matter was laid over to tho
July meeting.
From the opinions expressed at the
it IS quite likely that Red
wood County would take favorable
action if Blue Earth County could be
prevailed upon to join in the plan.
It looks now as tho the three county
proposition would have to be aban-
loned and that a tuberculosis SAM.
;arium can only be secured for this
section Of the state il Blue Earth
County takes favorable action n tie
natter. r
