At the recent meeting of the
school board, o. j. Henderson was
|elected secretary to succeed ]. M.
Blake. Mr.. Henderson's selection is
entirely satisfactory SO far as he is
concerned. He Is certainly we'll
qualified for the position. However.
the friends of Mr.. Blake insist that
the change was made because Mr..

oppose the proposed school bond is
sue last spring. If this be true, it
should in no wise prejudice anybody

BIDS ON PAVING ARE
HIGHER Than EVER
Story City Council Considering Ad.
visibility Of Paying the
Excessive Prices.

The council Of Webster City de-
cided wisely when it decided to do
no paving this year, though there are
still few of the cross streets in this
city that need the improvement.
Prices are now higher than ever ne
fore. and towns and cities ought to
get along without more paving until
prices come down. After the war it
is probable there will be plenty Of
labor and material available at rea-
sonable prices, and such improve
ments as paving can wait. More
over, it will be we'll to have work
when peace comes for the men who
will be ready and anxious to do it.
The city council Of Story City
opened bids at its meeting a night
or two ago and the Herald of that
city has the following concerning
the matter:
Bids were received from seven
different concerns, represented by a
dozen or more men.
The bids were as follows on the
various kinds Of pavements:
Bithulithic, $2.20, $2.34, $2.37.
Glass A asphaltic concrete, $2.29.
Glass B asphaltic concrete, $2.21,
$2.29.
Asphaltic concrete without the
binder course, $1.99, SAIL, $2.15.
Class A sheet asphalt, $2.29.
Glass b sheet asphalt, 1920 and
1924.
Monolithic brick Of various meth
DDS of laying. $2.35 to $2.S2.
Semi-monolithic vitrified brick,
$2.79 and $2.97.
Concrete pavement, $2.15.
The prices for extra excavations
ran from 40 to 6S cents per yard.
The bids for paving across the
Northwestern tracks were made sep
arately and ran from $3.50 to $3.50
per yard.
All of the above prices are for the
square yard.
The council has taken the bids un-
der advisement and will take no ac-
tion for several days. The prices,
as we understand, are third more
than those paid by the larger cities
two years ago.
