OTTAWA MAN WILL
Be AWARDED TWO
PAVING CONTRACTS
JOSEPH ]. LEX LOW BIDDER
AMONG LIST OF FOUR AT LET
TING BY CITY COUNCIL THIS
MORNING.

Joseph J. Leix, Ottawa contractor
will be awarded two important paving
contracts by the city Of Ottawa at a
meeting Friday morning, as a result
OF his bids being low at the letting
this morning of improvements for
two west side jobs.
Four firms were in the field for
these two cOntraG ts-the paving Of
Phelps and the extension of Lafayette
Jackson and Madison between Sanger
and Forest streets. Mr.. LEX was the
successful bidder for both lettings, but
will not be awarded his contracts nn-
til Friday morning. The law provides
that the bids must remain on file For
forty-eight hours, thereby giving The
property owners the chance to come
IN and do the work at the figure plac-
ed by the lowest responsible bidder.
Mr.. LEX, even tho he is respor-
sible bidder, is not looking for any
one to take the work Oft his hands,
as both his offers were considerably
lower that the estimates placed on
the work by Public Engineer George
L. Farnsworth. For the Lafayette
and other streets Mr. Leix bid S2l,.
66015, while Mr. Farnsworth had
estimated the expense at $22,073.37
On the Phelps street improvement Mr.
Farnsworth put the estimate al
s7,G96.64 while Mr. LEXIS bid was
s6,933.40, or $163.24 lower than Mr.
Farnsworths compilation of costs.

may be serious business in fact, just
as worth while in human progress as
the larger part of the daily activity of
the "grown-ups." All that is neces-
sary is that adults give the boys and
girls real business to do, som sthing
worth while-shat they consider the
young people "%iunior citizens rather
than future citizens"
"Clean up and paint up" effort,
wisely directed, gives the boys and
girls something important and definite
to do for themselves and the com
munity. Their part in the local cam
paign should be important.
