 Hartford, Oct. 23-Thes State. High way department has awarded con- tracts for 2O.S0O yards of bituminous concrete pavement m North Haven There were six biddders. one for War renite, one for A1niesite and fouf for Topeka specifications The contract is awarded the Union Paving company, which bid "A cents for a two inch bituminous concrete top, and partly to the Lane company. which bid TO cents for a two inch top.
 Warren Bros, who asked $1414 for a two inch top, were high bidders.
 The cost of building the road, under the low bid, is s23. 900. The high bid was $s5,572.
 The difference between the low and the high bid Is $12.572.
 Competition in bituminous concrete pavement has saved more than $12,- 900, or 50 per cent. of the cost, on one small job. This means that, similar competition in Bridgeport would have saved about $100,0Oo on the streets. which were paved with Warrenite, without competition.

HAS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE "ouT

"L# E.
That music hath charms" is illus.
trated by an incident that took place
recently, with Leon Rice, the New
York tenor, as the principal actor.
Mr. Rice gives a song recital assisted
by Mortimer Kaphan, the impersona.
tor. at the Grand Opera House tonight.
The singing OF this young artist
never falls to delight his audience
whether In critical New York City, or
IN Western mining towns.
While spending a vacation in Colo.
RADIO, twenty miles from the nearest
station, Mr.. Rice visited a gold mine.
located In a mountain at an altitude
of 10000 feet.
In order to reach the mine he had
to ascend the side OF the mountain in
an ore bucket suspended from a cable.
The trip occupied about half an hour.
during which time the bucket crossed
several canyons hundreds OF feet
deep. =
Arriving safely at the camp, Mr..
Rice changed his clothes for those OF
a miner and after riding In "a mule
car half a mile into the heart OF the
mountain, he descended the shaft TO
where the miners were working,
Reaching the surface after an hour
spent In the mine, Mr. Rice yolup.
tccred to sing for the men when the
days work was finished. About fifty
miners gathered in the dining room
and Mr.. Rice gave a concert program,
using a "one lung" parlor organ for
his. Accomplishments. Across a can.
yon 300 yards distant a poker game
was In progress in another camp. As
Mr.. Rice's powerful voice rang out In
this mountain wilderness, the poker
game terminated abruptly and the
miners came scrambling across to see
what was going on at the Taylor
Mountain camp. When they arrived
the concert was over, but Mr.. Rice
gave another for their, benefit. In
the appreciation Of Mr.. Rice's efforts
they gave him three cheers and then
all marched past shaking his hand as
they went. Mr.. Rice says his hand
ached several days from the grip OF
those miners.
Mr.. Rice will be assisted in his con.
cert tonight by Mortimer Kaphan, Of
whom the Toronto Mail says:
Lovers OF Charles Dickens turned
out In large numbers at Massey Hall
