TOO HIGH; PROJECT
POSTPONED TO 1921

For a second time within 60 days
bids on the proposed new Washington
township consolidated high school. to
be erected at Milton, have been above
the bond limit of 100000.
Thursday the lowest bid for the
contract received was $4,000 in ex-
cess of the bond limit. When bids
were opened the first time, the lowest
bid was $4,000 higher than the bond
limit.
Because of the inability of contrac-
tors to make their bids within the
100000 limit, the advisory board has
deemed it advisable to postpone all
action on the proposition until next
year
Values Shot Up Meanwhile
When the bids were so high at the
first date the advisory board ordered
the architect to revise his plans, dis
pensing with the auditorium and
gymnasium.
Heating and plumbing for the pro
posed building alone would cost
$33 900, according to the bids filed
Thursday. This is an increase OF
$4,000 since the first bids were made
