The Rock Island club recognized the
importance of having the city proper.

recommended that all manufacturers
give the requests for census reports

WILL RECEIVE
BIDS FOR BOND
ISSUE ON AUG. z
RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT MEET
ING OF CITY COMMISSIONERS
TO OPEN ALL BIDS ON THE
DATE MENTIONED.

In accordance with a resolution
which was introduced, read and
adopted yesterday, bids for the bond
issue will be received and opened on
August 2, this being for the $4,000
issue recently voted, for the truck
house and stable, and the water
works station house.
All bids will be received up to the
date mentioned and at noon on Aug
ust will be publicly opened, and
after due consideration, the bonds
will be awarded.
As requests have come for various
amounts of the said issue, it is be-
lieved that there will be a healthy
over-subscription, and there will be
no trouble in disposing of the entire
issue to local buyers. From the ap-
parent anxiety of many citizens to
invest in the securities, it will posi-
bly, be something of job to supply
all requests from citizens alone.
To Engrave Bonds.
Upon bidding the sum of $3.50, the
Mayes Printing Company was award
ed the contract for the printing and
engraving of the municipal bonds.
The work will be done mostly in Pen
sacola as far as possible, and actual
printing of the city bond will be pos
sible right in Pensacola. There was
but one competitive bid.
