and many other towns in northern
and central Minnesota.
Because of the confusion of prices
and the equality of the meter, the
board decided not to accept any of
the bids submitted at Monday nights
opening. Secretary Conklin is get
ting in touch with towns in the north
west where the various meters are in
use and the board will profit by their
experience. The Herald understands
that the cheapest priced meter may
not necessarily be purchased but the
one, which, in the boards judgment
will give the best satisfaction. There
is spread of about $500 per meter
between the low bid and the highest
bid.
