The proposition to issue bonds to borrow ‘ $4000 for th‘é new building at I) per cent. to be retired at the rate of $1000 per year, was favorably de-«i Reg- . bated but not acted upon. Charles‘ J. Peterson of Evanston was ap» l pointed to supervise the erection of . the hall in behalf of the village at a l salary of $15 per week, to begin as soon as the contractor. because Arâ€" 1__ chitect Grudevaut would be unable l to do so. The bids when opened* were found to be as follows: A. J. St. Peter A. W. Fletcher, $4000 (partial bid); S. (i. Enmark Son, ; $5750 (without cells); Donaldsonm $0200 (no certified check); Carlson Peterson. $0444; Snyder Bros . l $0500; Fred Clow. $0000; Murray ‘ Caddenhead. $0711; Corse Jef- frey, $0087; Congress Construction Co., $0350 (without cells); I. Light- heart Sons, $0140 (without cells); ' Andrew Ruckmanu.$7205 (no check). At first sight it would seem that: Fletcher St. Peter were the lowest l bidders. but their bid was only a partial one. and when completed it ‘ amounted to over $0000. The board ‘ took a recess until Thursday night i to figure out the bids. 0n Thurs- . day all bids were rejected except three ., Fred Clow. $0000; Iorse 8L . Jefl'rey,$0080 (straight bids). andl S. G. Enmark $5750 (without cells). ' Enmark completed his bid by mid . ing $275 for cells and then both he and Corse .lefl'rey threw off $100 . day from 2 to 12 pm. for the substitution of brick founda- tion for concrete. Then as the bids stood $5087 to $5025 the contract was awarded to S. G. Enmark Son. The contract with the electric light company was then considered and accepted. The company agrees to continue the lights in the. old city ball as long as necessary, also to wire and light the new building free of charge, as well as to paint all the light poles in the village.
