Open Bids for New School and Addition
At Essex

George Weed, Bigfork, submit
ted the successful bid of $17,405
to erect a new school at Essex to-
falling 1885 square feet complete
with heating and plumbing.
Bids were opened by the district
6 school board Tuesday evening
following opening of bids for the
new Columbia Falls grade school
annex.
Other bidder on the Essex school
was Montana Builders, KalispeN,
asking $4,000.
Disallowed was bid of 4 Louis
Groin and Dalton Wellman, Big
fork, asking $15,950. Crohn's con-
tractors license had expired, and
his renewal not received. The
board was informed that they
could not make an award to a
non licensed contractor under state
law. Another factor is that money
on hand for the new school must
be scheduled for spending before
the June 80 end of the current
fiscal year.
Still another problem is that the
bids exceed funds on hand for the
school of $13,370. Gap is to be

said the spring has been the cold

This reflects in the spring runoff,
with much more water to come.

Angler Lands Proof Of Big Ones

POLSON-Talk Of the Flathead
is the III foot sturgeon, weighing
181 pounds, one ounce, caught by
Leslie Griffith, Of Dayton on the
west lake shore early Saturday

turned to Poison.
It was on display at Poison and
Allentown over the Memorial Day

viewing the catch.
Three persons split $35 prize
for guessing the weight. Guessing
181 pounds were Chef Nixon, Big

Weight guesses generally were
from ESQ to $50 pounds.
Griffith hooked the sturgeon
Friday about 9 pm. south of Crom-
well island. It wasn't until 2 am.
Saturday that he was able to land
the fish near Big Arm.
Tackle used included 16O-pound
nylon line, about 600 feet long, a
sea reel and star drag. Bait was
an imported eel.
Griffith said that he previously
had caught sturgeon in the Snake
