New School Building.
$20,805 THE CONTRACT PRICE.
Ayora & Co., of Kearney, will FurnUh
the Keating Plant for $2,880.
The school board held a special
meeting last nicht to consider the
bids for -the construction of the new
high school building and the tear
ing down of the old one. Five bids
for construction were received but
as two of them were unaccompanied
by certified checks they were not
considered. The bids which were
considered were as follows: Rowlea
& Bailey, of Omaha, for building
without heating plant, $20,934;
Sorcn Jensen,. Lexington, building
complete $25,900, without heating
plant tfW.ooo; lynutzen &. Isbell,
Kearuev. buildintr comnletc $23,700:
without heating plant $20,805. The
bids winch were not considered
were those of C. D. Campbell & Co.,
of Lincoln and Con Walker.
Separate bids were received as
follows for a steam heating plant
for the building: L. W. Pomeriue

Ayrca & Co., Kearney, $2,880;
Karsmcycr & Co., Lincoln 4,aa;
Harrigan Supply Co., St. Joseph,
$2,940.
After the bids were opened the
awarding of the contract was free
ly discussed and then a vote was
taken. For some time the vote was
three for Rowlcs & Bailey of Oma
ha, and three tor Knutzen x Isbell
but the contract for the construc
tion of the building without a
heating plant was finally awarded
to the latter firm. The reason
part of the board voted for the
tormer firm was because they
agreed to have the building com
pleted in seventy-five days. The
contract for furnishing and install
ing the heating plant was awarded
to W. K. Ay res & Co., of Kearney,
whose bid was $2,880. Only one
bid for tearing down the old build
ing was received. It was for $650
from Con Walker, The contract
was awarded to him. He agreed to
have the site clear in three weeks
after he commenced work.
Knutzen & Isbell agreed to pay
the board seven dollars per thous
and for all good brick, sixteen dol
lars per thousand for all dimension
lumber and fourteen dollars per
thousand tor all sheeting .
Attorney Halligan was instructed
to draw up contracts with the three
different firms to whom contracts
had been awarded.
As Architect Grant was to have
two and one-half per cent of the
price for which the contract was let
for his plans, they will cost the
board $592.62. Fifty per cent of
that amount was paid to him last
night.
The board will have another
meeting on May 3d to close up the
year a business.

Mr. and Mrs. Goozcc entertained
a number of friends last cycuing.
It was a gathering ot congenial
people and they all thoroughly en
joyed themselves an Mr. and Mrs.
Goozcc and their daughter arc capi
tal entertainers. During the even
ing forty-six old maxims were given
out but one word in each was
missing and the guests were asked
to fill in the blanks with the proper
words. It resulted in a great ran
sacking of memories and only a few
of the guests were able to give
more than twenty correctly. Shortly
before 11 o'clock delicious refresh
ments were served. Among the
guests who had the pleasure of en
joying Mr. and Mrs. Goozcc'a
delightful hospitality were Messrs.

a game which will be played Mou-1
day afternoon between the Union
Pacifies and a picked North Platte

The report ot inspector Crabtree
concerning the North Platte schools
is quite commendatory, his criti
cism being very few. He informed
bupt. bright that it would be pos
sible to incorporate a commercial
course in the schools here and s 1 ill
remain an accredited high school,
the graduates receiving credit at
the university for that work the
same as if they had taken the clas
sical course. The schools here
need a first-class commercial
course and the coming year will
probably sec u added.
