ing with him that if the hotel is built
for less than $4,000, he is to re.
ceive an additional $500 in bonds as
an inducement for efficiency in con-
struction.
The local plumbers and hardware
dealers have also agreed that if this
class of material is purchased through
them, they will also furnish it at
wholesale price.
