because DldS received last
might by the County Commission
for the beach at West Martello
Tower exceeded the money avail
able, the engineers were in
Estructed to study those received
/ and recommend at a meeting to
be held next Tuesday. what part
tof the work could be construct
led.
Lowest bid submitted by
| Charles TOPPING & Sons, me-,
was for $3.50. $50. which was
100000 above the funds now
available for the work.
The only other bid received
was for $404,6O0 by Alonzo Goth
aron.
The commission said that
sabout $4,000 is available. for
/, the county has. paid $500 to
the War Assets Administration
for, the beach site; will pay a to-
i'tal of about $4,000 to the engi-
neers and has earmarked another
$4,000 for the negro beach.
| Taking Toppino's $60,O77 fig
!. ure for the beach itself, $95.657
s for the breakwall and the pier,
and $4,000 for the sand, it is be-
g1ieved the engineers will recon-
mend that his price for this work
be accepted.
1t is believed that the swim
inning pool and the cabanas,
(which would have cost 1000
ion the basis of Toppino's figure,
and the 600 feet of Rest Beach
Twill be eliminated under the en-
lgineers' recommendation.
| Engineers r.. d. Spalding and
Fired Frohock both said the bids
4 received for the work were much
'tthiglitr thar 4lsey believed the5
would be.
/ Commissioner w. A. Parrish
said the cost of the beach con-
! struction was too high.
/ Il think we can eliminate
those parts of the construction
that cost so much and 60 ahead
with the beach ITSELF" said Com
missioner Parrish.
| Spalding declared that he and
his associates would recommend
the best thing for the county. 1t
would then be up to the COM
mission to let the contract.
On motion of Commissioners
Clarence Higgs and seconded by
Commissioner Gerald Saunders
the commission voted to hold a
meeting next Tuesdty at 1880
| D. m, to pass upon the recon-,
mendation of the engineers.
Chairman Frank Bentley an
nounced at the commission
meeting that he had received
telegram from the War Assets
Administration stating that the
county's bid of $4,000 for the
site had been accepted and that
deeL. wo ID be forwarded
when it is ready.
That's the best news of all.
remarked Spalding. I'VE had to
have the site first. That's the
main thing.
"Our plans were purposely en-
larged to include everything
needed at the beach. We now
have information for future ex-
pansion of the beach"

for the other two games. The de-
feat was the second in IL games
for the Sox.

pitcher for the Sox, hurled credit
ably but three of the six hits he
allowed went for three bases. The
only Key Westers able to solve

din and Lopez each collected
two hits.
