reserved the right for the board to
specify the materials to--be used in
the construction of the building. The
committee had gone carefully over the
bids submitted by the various concerns
who desired to furnish material to be
used in the work and had reached a
decision on most parts of the work.

every instance to specify the concern
which we, feel will furnish the best
