this work was placed at $685., while
the bid submitted by Pullman Bros.
Saturday was in the sum of $4,174.

sum of 1885, which had already been
paid them for work done before the
protests were filed with the county
board, making the entire cost of the
improvement $4,559, or SIG less than
the original figure There were only
two other bids submitted for the Job,
