Promoters Let Contract

The council approved paving con-
tract let by a. P. Brat and Mundy
Il Scott to Adolph Carlson, Of this
city a short time ago for paving Pal
ace court, between Church and Boone
streets. This contract was let for
1914 square yard for the pavement.
sc cents l!neal foot for the curb, and
40 cents cubic yard for extra grad
ing. The city's specifications are to
govern. The city will accept the pave
menc in the usual way after the con-
tract is completed satisfactorily.
The price at which this private con-
tract was let IS the same as the last
contract awarded by the city last sea
son TO the Western Construction Com
pany. 1t is not expected, however,
that the city will get any such a price
for its work when it comes to let its
contract, as it is believed all the bids
will be higher than the lowest one last
year, on account Of the advances in
material and labor.
