Bids were opened at the council

While a number of contractors were

The lowest bid was made by the Cast
| Stone Construction Co. of Eau Claire,
which had the street imsrovement job
here last season. 1t was expected the
| price would be considerable higher this
| year because of the advance of mater
ial and labor, but the contract price of
the Eau Claire firm of $1.59 per yard
for reinforced concrete is said to be the
lowest closed by any city this spring.
The Cast Stone Co. have their contract
| on Washington street yet to finish be-
fore commencing on the new work.
