Bids Far In Excess OF Estimated
Cost for Presbyterian Building;
VIII Remodel Plans and
Get More Cash.

Awarding of the contract for the
construction Of the proposed Presby'
terien church building at the cor
ner of Sixth street and Minnesota
avenue has been indefinitely de-
ferred, according TO Judge w. w.
Clark, city treasurer and member
of the church's building committee.
Bids opened last week were far
in excess of the estimated cost, Mr..
Clark says. The lowest bid for the
construction of a stone building was
.$56 500 and the highest was SS2,239;
for brick structure, the lowest bid
was $4,000 and the highest was ap-
proximately $4,000. Estimated cost
Of the brick structure was approxi-
mately $4,000.
To make more strenuous effort
to obtain more money for the build
ing and then change plans in accord
ance with the money pledged, is the
course to be pursued by the build
ing committee, Mr.. Clark said. In
other words,' he added, we're go
ing to raise all the money we can
and then make plans to build the
best building we can get for that
amount Of money"
Meanwhile, no one knows just
when the contract will be let or
when construction of the building
will start.
