Hospital Bids All
/. Exceed Bond Issue

The board of county commission
ers at the meeting last Monday or
dered that all bids received and open-
ed for the construction of the county
hospital extension be rejected, for
the reason that the lowest hid ex-
ceeded the amount of the bond Is
sue which had been made for the pur-
pose.
Three bids we're submitted. An
drew Hexem's bid of $36,13O.29 for
completing the entire building was
the highest, and o. NJ. Wallace, Jr.,
was the lowest bidder, with $685.
I5S0.50, as the amount for the build
ing complete. G. w. Weler's bid was
for the amount of $31,151.
AS the bond issue was for $25, 900,
the commissioners were compelled
under the circumstances. to reject all
bids and proceed to make alterations
in the original plans which would cut
the cost of construction
The matter is now under discus
siior with Architect j. w. Meyers,
who will make some alterations I'm
the equipment, when the contract
will again be advertised and bids re-
ceived.
Believing that the county should
be equipped with road machinery up
to the standard established by other
counties in the state, the board has
entered into an agreement with Lam
ders & Co., of Salt Lake City. to
lease with the privilege Of buying, a
rag line excavator and loader to be
used in connection with the cater
pillar tractor and trailers. This up
to-date equipment can be purchased
ON reasonable time and payments
and White Pine county will be In the
same class as other counties for the
building of roads.
In the past two years the county
has made very little headway In road
building and 1t Is the opinion of the
present board that the road work un-
dertaken should be of permanent
nature and to do this class of work
modern road machinery is needed,
which will save the price of the
original expenditure for equipment
in the next two years.
