COUNCIL HAS AWARDED
CONTRACT TO NIELSEN
Construction Company to Re-
model the City Hall; Plumb
ing Proposal
From Thursdays Daily.

At the special meeting of the city
council this morning, the general
contract for the remodeling of the
city hall was awarded to the j. B.
Nielsen Construction company at
$21,S6S. The other bidders were E. A.
Carlstrom at $22,7O0 and Beckwall &
Widell at $22,995.
The contract for the painting was
awarded to Gibbs & Anderson at
$947. The other bidders were G.
Swanson & Son, S1,3S5; Gronquist &
Endicott, $1,491.6O, and the Eker-
holm Wilson company, $1,065.
The Mankato Plumbing and Heat
ing company was awarded the con-
tract for the heating, at $1,915. The
bids for this job were opened last
Monday and this was the low bid.
G. M. Masters was awarded the
contract for the plumbing at $1,000.
The Ario Electric Construction
company was given the electric wir-
ing job at 500.
The matter of awarding the con-
tract for the Jail work was deferred

The Widell company was allowed

work.
The recent school census showed
an increase OF lightweight school
children, between the ages of six and
sixteen, over last year. In estimat-
ing the population an increase of 44O
was shown over last year. However,
close study of the census report
shows that the increase in population
is much more than these figures in
dictate, as an unusually large number
of clrirlren reached the age of six
teen this year, and their names bad
to be cancelled from the list, reduc-
ing the figures materially. On the
other hand the number of those who
reached the age of fifteen this year
was extraordinary small, which
means that the number who will
have their names cancelled by rea-
son of their becoming sixteen years
of age next year, will be very small,
and in the ordinary course OF events
the increase shown next year will be
considerably larger than this year.
