MAY RAISE GATE TOLLS
AT THE COUNTY FAIRS
Admission Price of rs Cents
Favored But Charge Will Not
Be Unifor m in State.

Gate tolls at Minnesota county ia RS
this year are going to bear more heavily
on the pocketbooks Of patrons, it was
announced att 4 meeting of the secre-
taries Of the Minnesota county fairs.
in Minneap polls last week "a
The general admission price, or,
rather, the toll that the secretaries
would like to levy on the patrons, is
Is cents, bus this amount will not
prevail throughout the entire state.
Some OF the associations last year
charged Is cents for the afternoon and
another 75 cents in the evening Others
charged Is cents and gave coupons
which entitled the bearers to attend the
evening show but for those who at
tended only the evening, the toll was
rs cents. However, some Of the asso-
Citations charged as little as 35 cents
for general admission. In all prob
ability these low rates will be boosted
this fall.
It was pointed out by the secretaries
that the greatly increased premium
lists and special awards in addition to
the high class entertainment features
had combined with other, items in
making expenses prohibitive at the old
rates.

NO EASTER aPRoM"

Jupiter Pluvius put a damper on
those members Of the fair sex in this
vicinity who had intended staging the
usual annual promenade on Easter
Sunday morning. There were several
different kinds Of weather, the previous
evening, following a drizzling rain
during the greater part of Saturday.
Two thunders torms, coming from op-
poslte directions, met in this section
and fora time it looked rather danger
Gus. The rain was driven along at
high speed by the high wind and for a
brief period hail fell, with sufficient
quantity Of snow to barely blanket
Mother Earth. These unfavorable
weather conditions served to greatly
disappoint the ladies and cast many a
hopeful promenader into deepest
gloom. AS if to further taunt the dis
appointed ladies, Old Sol rose bright
and early Monday morning and en-
veloped the earth with his bright and
cheering rays.

ALSO INVESTIG ATINC LETTING
BRIDGE CONTRACT TO
HIGH BIDDER.

The county commissioner of Brown
county were enjoined by four local
contractors, Friday afternoon. whe.
protested the awarding of the contract
for placing Terrazoo floors in the offices
on the first floor of the courthouse in
this city to the New Ulm contracting
firm of Puhlmann Bros, without hav-
ing called for bids for this work in
advance of awarding it. The protest.
ing contractors were Otto Heymann,
Fred Keute, John G.. Gronau and Emil
Gebhardt
Work Stopped Immediately.
The protestants called on County
Auditor Louis G. Vogel, Friday after
noon, for the purpose of investigating
the matter, and were referred by him
to County Attorney w. T. Eckstein.
During their consultation with this
official, Mr.. Eckstein informed them
that the county board could not legally
award a contract to anyone in an
amount exceeding $500 without pre-
viously advertising for proposals, and
that the contract must be awarded to
the lowest responsible bidder. Upon
securing this information, the protest.
ing contractors got in touch with mem
bers of the county board, and the. work
on the floors was Immediately stopped.
Will Now Call for Bids.
| Puhlmann Bros. had already COM
menced operations in the office of
County Treasurer Henry j. Berg, who
had temporarily taken up quarters in
the rest room in the new addition to
the courthouse, pending completion
OF the new floor. AS a result of the
action by the protestants, the county
board will advertise for bids for this
Econtract, returnable about the middle
OF April. In the meantime, matters
will rest as they are.
Looking Into Bridge Award.
Messrs. Heymann, Keute, Gronau
and Gebhardt are also determined to
investigate fully the awarding of the
contract for the new Alvin bridge in
Cottonwood township to Puhlmann
Bros. by the county board, December
II, last year, in spite of the fact that
the bid Of the local firm was 81, $50 in
excess Of the lowest proposal, which
had been submitted by the WideIl Co.
of Mankato. Pullman Bros bid
was $34,360, compared with $33, 900.
the amount of the Widell Co.'s pro
posal. If such action is warranted by
the result of the investigation, the
