Roads Commission
Re-Advertises Project
Relates To improvements On
Third Street In Oakland

The State Roads Commission
this week is re-advertising for bids
for improvements to Third and Oak
streets. This fulfills a request of
Mayor Joseph limbaugh who re-
quested the same from the State
Roads Commission after the origi-
nal bids were considered too high.
The town of Oakland agreed to
provide around $4,000 of the
amount as its share of the cost, on
the basis of bids of around $780,
600, but the low bidder agreed to
do the work for $44,796.5O, and as
result the Roads commission has
asked the town to provide $4,000
as its share.
In letter to Russell II. Mccain,
chairman of the State Roads com
mission, on May IS, Mayor Hine-
baugh declared the request for re-
advertising the bids was made be-
cause the town felt the bids re-
ceived were excessive and that the
share of the expense which the
town would be required to bean
was beyond the amount of funds
which the town can make available
for the improvement. There is nc
thought that the Commission has
not acted in good faith but the
town is interested in having these
improvements made and feels that
it can be done at a lower cost thar
that which is indicated by the bids
which have been received"
He indicated that information
was available which showed a saw.
ing Of between $4,000 and $4,000
could be made through re-adver
Using.
The advertisement calls for con
crete base widening, curb and gut
ter construction, storm water
drainage and bituminous concrete
resurfacing along Third street il
Oakland, from Oak to Green, 0.15C
mile, and bituminous concrete re
surfacing along Oak street, from
Third to Fourth, for 0.076 mile, {
total distance of 0.232 mile.
Bids are to be opened June 16
at II o'clock noon.

week from Earle Poorbaugh, An
napolis, director of the Department
of Public Information for Mary

was Every pleased with the fine
display of Democracy at work.
Through the generosity of the
Pennsylvania Electric company in
making the site available to the
state without cost, and through the
efforts of the Mt. Top Chamber of
Commerce and the people Of Gar
rett county, the state will be able
to provide these splendid and much
needed facilities.
"When completed these areas
will stand as testimonials to the
American way of life. They will
be splendid example of the CO.
operation of capital as represented
by the Power company, and the
people and government as repre-
scented by the state, each sharing
equally their responsibilities"
Poorbaugh said the governor
hoped to be able to attend the
opening of these areas and has
urged the State Roads commission
to get them done as quickly as pos
sible.

tive stone and shrubbery will be
used in the Identification project.

: area was arranged at meeting

The two organizations which plan
to sponsor a youth are Grantsville
Post PA, American Legion; and
the Grantsvillc Rotary club.

Department of Maryland, The
American Legion, Inc, which aims
to have every section of the state

they can't believe it; that we have

that the books were free was also
a shock to them"
From son Bob, also in Korea,
comes a letter in another vein. 1t

by movie photographers and gives
a little insight in the event men,
