HARAY NEWTON oETo
THE PAVING coMTRAoT.

+ The Thomas Regain company
of Council Bluffs have assigned
their paving contract here ia
Harry Newton OF this city. This
move will meet with the approval
of all of the, citizens, as it will
keep nearly all the money, ex-
cept for material, at home. There
is no reason why local man
cannot do the work as we'll as an
outsider, as there is nothing very
complicated about the work and
our men are just as smart as any
one else. Mr.. Newton was sue
cessful in his bid on the curb and
gutter work last summer and the
the work he put in is the best to
be found anywhere in town. He
is conscientious in his work and
will take pride in seeing that it
is done properly, as this is his
home and he has a natural pride
in his home town. When the bids
were first opened it was thought
Mr.. Newton was the lowest bid
der. but a mistake in the figures
gave it to the Council Bluffs COM
pany. They have considerable
work to do in the Bluffs and were
unable to take this job, so they
assigned it to Mr.. Newton.
