Fear Bids For New Bridge
May Be Too High

Anticipating the bids for the con-
struction of a new bridge at Hum
melstown may be too high because Of
the increasing cost of labor and ma
terials, the county commissioners to-
day advertised for bids for repair
ing the structure. These proposals
will be open August u. Final action
on awarding a contract for a new
bridge or for repairs only will be
decided a few days later when bids
for a new structure will be opened.
The county officials said to- day
that the present structure must eth
er be replaced or undergo extensive
repairs before it will be safe for
heavy traffic. At present no vehicles
weighing more than six tons may
use the bridge. In case bids for a
new structure are higher than the
amount appropriated for the work
the repairs will be ordered, the COM
miSSiOneTS said.
