The successful bidders. Akin & Flut-
ter are both very highly recommended
gentlemen, and have had much ex-
perience as paving contractors. They
are now finishing a contract for the
city of Griswold and they use all mod
ern machinery thus doing away with
much of the old-fashioned hand work.
For instance in the surfacing, they
have machine that does this work,
and makes a uniform surface. there
will be no high or low places. the en-
tire surface will be smooth and uniform
depth. If the paving is to be 6 inches
in thickness and 81 feet wide inside
the curb, the machine is set at those
figures and there will be no variation.
1t is understood that Lake View
gravel, will be used. and the firm furn-
ishing this gravel has just installed q
lot of new machinery, and the gravel to
be furnished will be much superior in
quality to that used In the last con.
