ICONTRACT JULY 10
FOR COURTHOUSE
County Commissioners at
Rockville Approve Final Re
port for $450,000 Building.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md., June 12—The
county commissioners will meet in spe
cial session here on July 10 to award
the contract for the construction of
the new Rockville Court House and
Jail at a cost, it i? thought, of some
thing under $450,000.
Final Report Approved.
Decision to that effect was reached
here Tuesday, when the commissioners
: approved the final report of the court
I house building committee, composed of
Dr. Bentamin C. Perry, president of the
board and ex-officio chairman of the
committee; Judge Robert B. Peter,
Robert G. Hilton, Preston B. Ray. Berrv
E. Clark, Otho H. W. Talbott, Dr. Gil
bert H. Grosvenor, Ma.f. E. Brooke Lee,
George E. Hamilton, George P. Sacks,
George M. Hunter, Josiah W. Jones
Clyde Thomas, Henry J. Tass, Capt.
Chester Wells, J. Roger Spates, B. F.
Saul and County Commissioners Lacy
Shaw and Clagett C. Hilton.
The building committee had previous
ly ratified the final report of the sub
committee on plans and construction,
of which Capt. Chester Wells was chair
man, which dealt largely with action of
the subcommittee at a meeting Friday
afternoon regarding numerous details in
connection with its part in the big un
dertaking.
Way for Bids Cleared.
Tuesday's action cleared the way for
inviting bids, and Stedman Prescott,
acting attorney to the commissioners,
was instructed to prepare the necessary
advertisements for proposals, contract
forms, etc.
There Is said to be no doubt that
the bids will be well within the amount
of money available for all expense in
connection with the erection of the
handsome temple of justice and, as all
other obstacles have apparently been
surmounted, the beginning of building
operations promptly following the
awarding of the contract on July 10
seems a certainty.

gator for the estate who reunited him
with the brother.
Hearings will be continued. Butler j
and West say they w’erc cousins of the j
hermits.
