CITY PARK GRAMDSTAMD
READY FOR CELEBRATION

The contract for the erection of
grandstand In the municipal park
was awarded by the mayor and city
council at special meeting held last
Thursday night to Contractor Fl. c.
F. Brown, who bid for the work In
the sum of $1,328.50
Two bids were received by the
city officials, the second being from
Contractor o. NJ Wallace Jr., who
placed the figure at s1.671.
The plans and specifications were
drawn by G. Newman of Ruth and
the cost was first estimated mt
SLIPS.
The matter was taken up several
days ago when IL. ". Edwards. John
c. Hickey and Thomas A. Bath con-
ferred with the mayor and members
OF the city council. and the subject
was later brought up at the regular
meeting held in the council cham
Der last Tuesday night. Ciiv Engi-
neer Millard was not present when
the matter was first discussed and in
order to save time Mr. Newman
agreed to draft the plans and speci-
fications. These were later present
ed at the regular meeting and City
Engineer Millard after inspecting
them concurred.
In order to save time Il was de-
cided to notify all contractors that
the bids would be received Thursday
night. In order that the citizens
might be given the benefit of the
grandstand this season, and partieu-
larly in view of the fact that com.
Portable seats at the park will lie
in big demand on the Fourth of July.
1t was decided to proceed with all
possible haste consistent with safety
and good business judgment.
The prompt action which was
taken by the city officials at the ur-
gent request OF many prominent
business men and residents of the
city will insure comfortable seats in
The grandstand. from which may be
viewed the various attractions which
will be held in the park in connection
with the coming celebration ono
week from next TUESDAY.
Contractor Brown does not bind
himself to have the grandstand en-
tirely completed by July 4, due to
the fact that there is shortage of
carpenters in the district, and II Is
feared sufficient force of men can
not now be obtained to entirely ccm-
plete the work before July 10. 1t
will have advanced to stage. how
ever, when the day OF the eelebra-
tion arrives to meet immediate de-
mands with all safety.
The stand when completed will
seat 40 persons and when occasion
demands 1t 100 additional seats can
be placed In the afsles. which will
bring the total seating capcaity up
to $50 persons.
