the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Award Several Contracts For County
Services and Re-Advertise For
Others.

The county commissioners enter
tanned small part of the public
Monday when the several contracts
upon which bids we're desired came
up for consideration. The greatest
rivalry concerned the county ply
sician contract, upon which five
Iroffers were received, considerable
disparity being in evidence In the
rotions held by the medicos of the
value of their services by the month.
The fact that the bids we're of an
omnibus nature and covered too
much territory caused the commits
sioners to reject them all and order
another proposal published calling
for the services of physician
throughout the remainder of the
year, the county's medicines to be
bid upon separately. Accordingly
advertisements appear in this issue
asking for these two services under
separated heads.
