WESTS|DE BRIDGE
BIDS ALL REJECTED
TOO HIGH, COMMIS.
SIONERS EXPLAIN-WILI
TRY IT AGAIN

The county commissioners Monday
received and rejected all bids for the
construction of the Westside bridge
over the Des Chutes river, following
consultation of contractors, the
commissioners. members of the city
council and engineers from the state
highway commissioners office
New bids have been called for, on
the state plan, and will be opened
June l. Bids will be received on
Wooden approaches as we'll as con-
crete.
There were three designs upon
which the contractors submitted bids !:
The Luten design, submitted by
Charles e. Huber; the J. r. Wood
design, submitted by Wood, 'and the
state plan, arranged by Stratton OF
the state highway commission
Huber ibid $164,95O on the first
plan and $169,SOO on the third plan.
Wood bid $4,000 on the second
plan and $148,OOO on the state plan
The bids were rejected on the ground
that the county has not that much
money to put in the building of the
bridge and that the bids were too
high.
I'VE rejected the bids and will re-
advertise for new bids" County
Commissioner j. c. Sans explained.
There were only two bids and we
believe that If We receive eight or
nine bids and work on the state plan
that perhaps we can build the bridge
cheapef. The bids were too high"
The commissioners state that the
largest amount available for the
bridge is $128,OOO. They had plan
ned ON spending not more than
100000 on the bridge.

COUNCIL REJECTS
OFFER OF PAVILION
FEARS POSSIBLE MORAL EFFECT
OF PROPOSED STRUCTURE AT
PRIEST POINT

Proposed gift of a $1,100 dancing
pavilion for the city park at Priest
Point was rejected Thursday at a
special meeting of the city council,
the city park board and the Olympia
Central Trades Council, represented
by it's president, r. A. Padget.
Fear that the moral standard of
the park might be lowered and that
the city of Olympia could not bear the
upkeep of the pavilion were voiced as
the unanimous reasons of the coun-
Gil for rejecting the pavilion. The
Central Trades Council received the
inspiration for making this gift to
the city of Olympia through the well
come home celebration plans that are
being made.
r. A. Padget, president of the Cen
trail Trades Council, is also chairman
of the dance committee for the cele-
bration for the service men of Thurs
ton county to be held here June 26.
Mr.. Padget suggested that since they
we're contemplating building tenn
porary dance pavilion why not erect
q permanent pavilion in the park.
The labor organization then started
to raise money for the construction
Of the building.
Mr.. Padget, as chairman of the
dance committee of the celebration
June 26, says that he will suggest to
his committee that dance be held
at the chalet at Priest Point park on
the day of the celebration and not at
tempt to construct temporary pla-
form, and then hold another big dance
at the Red Cross hall at Tumwater in
the evening.
The city council and the park
board voted the Central Trades Coun-
Gil @ vote Of thanks for its action in
offering the city the gift of dance
pavilion.
point that we. do not feel that a pub
lie dance hall should be operated at
the city park" said Mayor. Jesse T..
Mills when interviewed about the
dance hall proposition. 1--WE could
keep up the financial end all right.
but that too would be lowering our
standard, because we would have to
charge admission, and this would do
away with the free playground idea
that we have always had In running
the park
1--WE wish to thank the labor coun-
Gil for its interest In the park" said
Mayor Mills. I'VE realize that the
members of the labor organizations
of this city have taken more interest
in the park and its welfare than any
other body of people in Olympia
They installed the water system for
us at the park. We appreciate very
much their offer Of this gift and will
do everything we \can to aid in the
erection of temporary dance hall
for the celebration. June 20"
