County Board to Construct
Bridge by Day Labor to
AsCertainF Feasibility

Beltrami county is going to test
out new plan in the building of
bridges, this being decided by the
board of commissioners which closed
a brief meeting yesterday afternoon.
Instead of asking for bids and max
ing the awards to the lowest bidder
the board will try the experiment OF
building a bridge by day labor and
thus obtain relative comparison
for future guidance. -<Z- '~.'>-- :
This decision was arrived at when
bids were opened for the construc-
ton of several bridges in the county.
The figures were all considered too
high and were rejected. Then the
board instructed the county surveyor
to try the experiment of having the
work done on one bridge by day la
bor
A resolution was passed for the
issuance of $4,000 for the construc-
tion of bridges in Beltrami county

SIMILARITY OF NAMES CAUSES
CONCERN TO WILLIAM BLACK

In a recent news story in the Pho
neer concerning a liquor action in
connection with the Lake Shore ho-
tel, in which it was stated that Will
liam Black charged he was sold al
cohol in the hotel, the statement is
causing not a little embarrassment to
William Black, a woodsman, who is
we'll and favorably known to many
in Bemidji.
None of the latter's friends for a
moment considered that he was in
any manner mixed up in such a pre-
dicament as the accuser of the hotel
management claimed to have been,
and he feels keenly the similarity of
names which might in any way cause
reflection upon him.
