BIG WING . !.
CONTRACT LET


The contract for the paving of the
eleven miles of the state and federal
road from the east end of the pres
ent paving to the Meeker County line
was let at Willmar last Friday by
State Highway Commissioner Bah
cock and the county commissioners
acting jointly.
The job was given to John McKus-
lex of Hibbing for $351, ,72S. The con.
tract calls for gravel aggregate with
bar Reinforcement both crossways
and lateral and the road is to be fin
ished by Nov. l, 1921. OF the % bids
received, the McKusick bid was the
lowest with the exception of one,
which was for $1,000 less but did not
promise the completion of the job un-
til Nov. l, 1922.
The: county's share Of the con-
tract was for So miles which is the
amount of paving which the 500, 900
yet unused of the bond issue of $780,
900 made two years ago under the
law of 1919, would cover The states
portion was 81 miles. It was all let
in one contract, however, as the
$3.50, 900 bond issue will ultimately be
taken care of by the state.
The State Commissioner figured
that the cost of keeping up the de-
tours for a year longer would Offset
the difference and the contract was
let to McKusick.
John McKusick's bid figures at
$3.50 per square yard.
The bid of Grant, Smith & Co. Of
St. Paul was $3.07 per yard: sHamlin
& Oaks, Minneapolis, $500; Johnson,
Drake & Piper, Minneapolis, $2S2;
w. S. Harris, Minneapolis, $2.95;
Bates & Rodgers Construction Co.,
Chicago, $294; A. Guthrie &. Co., st.
Paul, $500; Mccullough & Cheney,
Minneapolis, $2.96. There were sew
eral other bids the figures of which
we were unable to get as they had
been taken to state headquarters. ~a<,s
