SCHOOL BIDS NOT TO BE OPENED TILL
 AFTER ELECTION
COUNCIL DECIDES NO CONTRACT CAN BE LET ANYWAY UNI
 TIL VOTING IS OVER

| Deciding that inasmuch as they could not award contract until af- ter the election next Monday any way, the Seward City Council last night deferred the opening of bids until next Tuesday evening. It had been unofficially given out at the time the bids closed last week. that four bids were in.
 In the meantime the meeting of last night was held open until Tuesday afternoon when the council will con vene to sit as canvassing board to check up the votes cast on Monday.
 With the certain carrying of the bond issue that went over on the first election almost unanimously the council will then meet in the evening. open the bids and award the contract, unless in their opinion the offers are too unreasonable, since they have reserved the right to refuse any or all bids.
 Owing to the lateness of the sea son and the very evident desire of the council that the school building be ready for occupancy at the earliest possible date, it is certain that the contract when let will carry provi- sions for the speeding up the work It is also the desire of the council that the excavation for the basement and foundations be started the next day after the contract is let.
 This haste becomes necessary fol lowing the unfortunate delay that was caused by the miscarrying of the first bond election, the trms of the ordinance under which the election was held not being satisfactory to the bonding houses who were to un- dersell the issue. Early summer weather was wasted, but if Seward gets an even break in the fall wealth CT, there is a possible chance that the building may be ready for occupancy shortly after the first of the year
