TO BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
Contractor Assured Trustees He Gould
Deliver Cement and Equipment
Met All Requirements

Early this morning, after a session
that began at o'clock in the evening,
the board of village trustees decided
to let the contract for the permanent
highway and surface drainage on Main
Istreet, for which appropriation was
made at the annual village meeting,
ito c. d. Iindholm Of Pittsfield, Mass.
In reaching this conclusion the
trustees and the supervising engineer,
Fl. Eltinge Breed Of NV York, were
governed by circumstances other
than the actual figures submitted by
the five contracting firms. Mr. Lind
holm, who was present at the meet
ing, produced letters showing that he
had contracts on hand with manufac-
lturers for sufficient cement to lay the
concrete paving and the curb and gut
ter required by the specifications.
Mr. Lindholm also demonstrated to
the trustees that he could meet all
requirements as to equipment as he is
on the point CT completing a similar
work in Pittsfeld He also assured
the board that, in case he was award

the work his personal supervision and
act as his own superintendent He
was also in a position to begin work
at once.
In accordance with the revised plan,
contractors were requested to submit
estimates on probable cost of the
work with the understanding that
they would be paid 10 per cent for the
construction The estimates were
opened at o'clock. Two, those Of
John Duff of Boston and John w. Nc
Cusker of Waltham, Mass, We're
eliminated at once as they were far
in excess of the figures of Engineer
Breed. Later the estimates of Win
slow and Cummings of Nashua, n. H.,
and Lindberg & Street of Boston were
passed up,
There was long discussion over
the estimates of Mr., Lindholm and
that submitted by the Kingsbury Con
struetion company Of Hudson Falls,
N u The Kingsbury Construction
company's proposal quoted figures
several thousand dollars lower than
that Of the Pittsfeld man but the
facts that Mr. Lindberg was at pres
lent engaged on similar piece of
work, that his equipment adequate In
every respect, was only 40 miles
away and could be brought to Benning
ton by trucks in a day and that he
could put his hands on the cement
were the deciding factors in the con-
clusion reached by the trustees and
the engineer.
The figures given below include the
estimates plus the 10 per cent com
mission and the rentals Of machinery:
John Duff, Boston, Mass, $l79,-

BEQUEST is REJECTED
Too Hard to Find Girl Who Would
Best Deserve Prize

Providence r, l., June 30,-The
common council by unanimous vote
concurred in a recommendation of
Mayor Gamer, rejected bequest to
the city by the late Paolo Bajnotti Of
Turin.
CourtBajnottis will contained a
pension creating trust of $4,000, the
interest of which was to be devoted
annually to young lady of Provi-
dence, who. being 90 years of age,
marriageable and a daughter of the
common people, will best deserve it
by her conduct and family virtues. -
Mayor Gamer in his message to the
council suggested that in a city of
almost 100000 people the most pains.

fail to disclose young lady more
worthy of the prize than perhaps a
hundred others"
I'm all probability, he added the
young lady who would most deserve
the gift would be too modest and
retiring to apply for consideration.

SUN CORRESPONDENTS GUESS
Thinks McAdoo viii Win on Fifth
or Sixth Ballot

San Francisco, July lit may be
interesting to set down guess as to
the probable results of the first bal
lot. This il offered by the insiders of
the McAdoo camp. If they don't
change their plans over night and de-
eide to drive McAdoo through quick
ly they wild start out by giving him $50
votes, few more than Cox is likely
to have, They figure that Palmer
will have about 200
The rest are to be widely scattered
as the complimentary ballots are tax
en--Smith, 80; Marshall, 80; Edwards,
2S; Meredith, 26; Davis, "a; Owen, 20;
Hitchcock, 16; Cummings, Ia; Gerard,
10; and a few others similarly unim-
pOrtant in arithmetic.
Thereafter the vote for McAdoo will
be increased by leaps and bounds un-
til, by the fifth or sixth ballot they
hope a real stampede will have been
accomplished. Certainly the conven-
tion will see a remarkable demonstra-
tion as this plan is worked out-Staff
