CONTRACT is LET
ON LONE GROVE
HEALDTON ROAD
NANCY BROTHERS OF OKLAHO-
MA CITY GIVEN CONTRACT;
WORK TO BE STARTED
AT ONCE

The board Of county commissioners
have contracted with Nancy Brothers
Of oklahoma City to construct the 16
miles of highway from Lone Grove
TO Healdton, and unless some unfor-
seen contingency arises the work will
begin within few days.
County Clerk Harris stated this
morning That he anticipated the board
would authorize him 10 forward the
warrant for the remainder Of the
county money that has been withheld
..r some time and t3u,t all prelmiu-
airy steps would be completed cover
ing the project.
The bid was awarded 10 Nancy
brothers over Baker and Ellis after
a great deal OF complications, hui the
yulLlc generally seems satisfied at
least that something definite will be
done.
Tom Ellis Of the firm of Baker and
Ellis served notice on the boarl sew
eral days ago that legal complications
would arise in event the contract wa.
let 10 Nancy Brothers, but what steps
they will take II any, is not known
at this time.
The chances are very good that the
highway will be built almost exclu'
sively of native gravel, and il suof
should prove to be the case the coun
ty will save approximately $4,000 OF
the contract according TO statemcn
of Joe r. Tay.or, chairman OF tht
board OF county commissioners.
The contract calls for construction
OF a $500 basis, that is aIalf imported
and half domestic gravel.
This was specified in the contrac
nor the reason that II was though
that not sufficient domestic grave
could be- obtained for the purpose b1
since that time several pits have beer
opened containing superior quslit!
OF gravel that viii he utilized for tn
purpose thus saving 4 long Ta!roat
haul with attendant freight rate al
ded.
Several streets Of the city have beer
paved with grayel and are holding VI
well under heavy city traffic, and a
there IS an abundance OF this materia
adjacent to the city both east ana wee
in ail probability. tae county VIII b
oetter off by several thousand dollar
on this account.
