the York Engineering Company at
their figure of s21,S4O.OO. A carbon
copy of the contract was fished out
of a stack OF correspondence gully
six inches thick by myself (Boyer).
Mr.. Harrington having passed it in
his search. Some one representing
another and connecting firm uses the
figures of S25, 100000 which we found
to be absolutely untrue and compares
them with the bid of his company
which was $22, 100000 and then as
L am told asks the question what
became of the extra 100000. That
can be answered by saying there was
no 100000 to be disposed of as the
bid as above stated was only S21,-
$4,000 and obviously lower than that
of the complaining competitor.
"In fine we are not in a position
to conclude that there was anything
irregular in this transaction and we
are of the impression that these ru-
mors, telephone calls and unsolicited
expressions with respect to the ac-
tions of the architect and others in
the past is nothing more nor less
than a cowardly way of attacking
ones integrity. We say cowardly
because any one who stoops to the
extremity of an anonymous COM
munication of any kind whatever is
coward of the deepest dye. With
this we conclude the report of our
investigation which we hope will be
as satisfactory to you as 1t has been
to us. AS far as the doctor and I
are concerned these affidavits and
other, information we have received
remove the charges preferred.

ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Public:

10 the Public
So long as possible we have maintained
STANDARD bread at its regular price, suf-
ferng reduced profits by reason of unprece-
dented high prices of ALL materials incident
to the baking of bread.
We continued to maintain our regular
price, still optimistic concerning the high
price situation, sincerely believing and trust
ing that break must come-thus lowering
the cost of materials and the consequent
maintaining of the regular price
But these extraordinary conditions have
held longer than we anticipated.
Tie Price of Flour Has Gone Euen Higher
Think of flour at Sic as against normal
price of $3.50!
To now continue to bake bread under these
conditions means to do so at a financial loss
Therefore, it has become necessary for us
to re-adjust our prices in order to maintain
STANDARD quality
Beginning Monday, May 18th, the
STANDARD loaf and other small loaves of
bread will now retail at six cents the loaf;
the NEW ERA and other large 1oaves of
bread will now sell at twelve cents the loaf
We thank you for your past interest and
favors and solicit a continuance of your pat
ronage.
