by Mr. Evans who was here today

In further discussing the matter Mr..

contractors that have men and ma

can underbid local people as much as
$4,000 of a proposition Of the magnl-

poses to take hold Of. When these
professional rold contractors get the
job they Will not give work 10 local

who are better skilled In road building
than farmers are they have teams
that are idle and they will not need
