ed the bids for the hard surfaced
roads from Abilene to Detroit and

ground that they were too high and
that they exceeded the engineers es-

New bids will be advertised at once.

show up, the brick men having the
whole show. The commissioners
want to hear from the others as well.
The brick men (only two firms
bidding) also submitted bids on con-
crete but were not anxious for this
work. They claimed that figures are
going higher and that increased cost
of material and labor since the en-
