LAST BIDS WERE
TAKEN TUESDAY
BUILDING COMMITTEE TO MEET
AND LET CONTRACT FOR
STRUCTURE VERY SOON

The last day for receiving bids for
the Alma College gymnasium was
Tuesday, June 20, and it is expected
that the contract for the new struc-
ture will be let within very few
days now and that as quickly as
possible the active work of construc-
tion will be put under way by the
successful bidder.
Plans and specifications were not
received from the architect as quickly
as had been expected and there were
not enough to supply all Of the bid
ders for the job when they were re-
ceiveC and this caused the college
authorities to give more time to the
bidders, SO that all Of them could
get fair opportunity to bid for the
work.
AS President Crooks and his aids
are working in Detroit and other
large cities right now in the effort
10 put over the endowment cam
paign before June 80, when the cam
paign comes to a formal close, it is
expected that the building committee
Of the board of trustees will be call
ed into session in Detroit to go over
the bids and award the contract to
the low bidder for the work. 1t is
expected that the committee will be
called together within the next few
days and that within week the con-
tract will be let, although it is pos
sible, that due to the stress Of the
endowment campaign, the building
committee will not meet until after
June 80.
Once the contract is let the work
is to be rushed as rapidly as is pos
sible consistent with good con.
struction, and hopes are held that
the building will be ready for the
basket ball season.

u. NJ. Objects to
Mt. p. City Charter

According to the evidence and claims
filed during the case of the p. NJ
railroad against the city of Mt. Plea
SAINT evidence having been heard this
week, the Mt. Pleasant city charter
is illegal
The Pere Marquette is protesting
the payment of the special taxes as
sessed for pavement, curb and gutter
and sewer. The claim this protest
is based upon is that the present
charter is invalid because it does not
state any limit to the amount of
special assessment. The claim which
is based on the fourth class city char
ter provision in the statute provides
for a maximum special tax of 20 per
cent of the last preceding tax valua-
tion for general taxes.
The city's case is being handled by
Attorneys Mcnamara and Burwash
and T. Matthews of Ithaca is rep
resenting the railroad. Briefs in the
case are TO be submitted later.

GRATIOT ASKS
FOR PAVEMENT
PETITION FILED-SET DATE TO
HEAR DIRECTORS ON THE
PINE AVE. WORK.

Tuesday evening the city commits
sion by resolution fixed July II as the
time for the hearing of objections on
the special assessment roll for the
proposed paving on Pine avenue from
Superior street north to Walnut St
1t is expected that Immediately af-
ter the hearing of the objections the
commission will ask for bids for the
paving Of this street, and that this
work will be done before fall. The
money for the city's share of this
work was included in the budget of
1921.
Tuesday evening petition was
submitted by large majority of the
residents Of Gratiot avenue. asking
that that street be paved its entire
length from Center street, north to
East End street. The petition was
received and placed on file. The paw
ing on this street will not be con-
structed this year, as the budget that
was passed in May by the city COM
mission did not carry funds to finance
the city's share of the cost Of this
work, as at that time it was not ex-
pected that the petition for paving
on Gratiot would be in this year.
Paving petitions for work that is
desired in any year should be before
the city commission early in the year,
before the annual budget is made up,
SO that it will be possible to prepare
plans, specifications and the esti-
mates Of the cost of the work, so that
the budget of that year may have pro
visions for the city's share of the con-
struction costs. 1t is important that
taxpayers, who desire pavement
should remember this fact
1t was stated at the Tuesday even
ing meeting that the bonds covering
the paving work on Woodworth ave
nue., north; West End street and
West Downic street, are expected
here today from the Detroit Trust
Company. They will be Immediately
signed by Mayor Murphy and City
Clerk Blanck and returned to De
troit. 1t is expected that the 500 800
trorit. 1t is expected that the 500 800
that the bond issue covers, will be
available for the paving work by the
end of the present week.

A WELL KNOWN
RESIDENT DEAD
MRS. ANGEL. LONG AN ALMA
RESIDENT, DIED DURING
PAST WEEK

Mrs. Clara f. Angel, a we'll known
resident Of Gratiot County for many
years and highly respected by large
circle of friends in this city passed
away at local hospital following an
attack of appendicitis Saturday even
ing, June II, her death coming as a
shock to a host of her close friends

ty, n. Y. At the age of thirteen
years she was left an orphan through

an uncle and attending school in AL
ma. On April 10, 1879 she was
united in marriage to Horace b.
Angel at South Lyon. They went
Immediately to their new home, an
uncleared farm near Forest Hill.
Here were born to them three child
ren, Anna NJ, Ira D., and Harriet c.
Angel. About 1887 they moved to
pine stump farm near Elwell, and
later came to Alma and East Lansing
to educate their children.
A member of the First Baptist
church from her early teens Mrs.
Angel was sincere Christian, and
wonderful self-sacrificing wife and
mother. On June 10 she was
stricken with acute appendicitis.
Help came too late and in spite of all
efforts she passed away Saturday
morning, June II.
She is survived by her husband and
three children, one brother, Ira ID.
Travis of Salt Lake City, Utah, a
half brother, Dudley Marble Of Syra-
cuse, N. Y, a niece, Mrs. Marion

DETROIT BOOKING HOUSE TO
FURNISH VAUDEVILLE
STARS HERE

Greatly encouraged by the large
crowds that have been attending the
free vaudeville entertainments, which
the merchants of Alma have been
giving each week on the raised stand
in the business section Of the city,
the Merchants Bureau has contract
ed with Zeobbie's vaudeville circuit

try, and is planning on giving the
people of this vicinity still finer

DR.. Maynard Pringle, who has the
matter of booking the attractions in
charge, assures The Record that the
attractions from now on, will not only
continue to be high class ones, but
that they will be far more spectacu-
lar than any of those which have so
far been held.
The merchants of the city are go
ing to big expense in putting on the
big free shows each Wednesday
evening and are urging that every
one in this vicinity attend each We'd
nesday evening and enjoy the night
