tho night, with the baggage of all
ten of us and the foodstuffs for Ilu

Once at the house we had to open

six men of the unit live, had to be
evacuated and their belongings taken
to the dining room. We hated to do
it In their absence, but we rolled up
their bedding and effects and planted
them at Intervals around the dining

men moved back Into the car, as the

... ..... i........ ,i i Two theories have len advanced
were ln reality 13 projects to be bid
on as several sections were up for
bid for Krade and gravel separately.
ln practically every case the bids
were very close to the enslneer s
ttmate, but on two projects the bids
were deemed excessive and the coun
ty has taken tbe work by force ac
count,
The county Is requiring that the
bids be very close to the engineer's
estimate and if such is not the case
the county will do the work Itself
and will not grant contracts. This
system has Baved considerable money
and Is serving to get the best resulfs
out ot the bond funds.
The projects on which contracts
were let will all come under the bond
schedule and will be a part of the
road schedule for this year. This
money conies from the $1,100,000
bond issue which the people of the
county voted last year, and will
reach nearly all sections ot the coun
ty. During the winter, the court has
been preparing Its program for the
spring and Bummer activities, and
now has the work well In hand so
that as soon as the weather will per
mit, work will be started In practical
ly every section and Improvements
made which should greatly relieve
conditions next year.
The county contracts are eagerly
sought and there were over thirty
bids submitted on the projects con
sidered yesterday. 1
Quite a number were combination
bids and required considerable figur
ing before the court could actually
determine which bids were tne dobi
for the county. Contractor J. Elmer
Nelson was successful ln golting
many of the contracts, his bids being
quite low and in many cases ueiuw
the estimate of the county roadmas
ler. Mr. Nelson was for several years
engineer wllh Ihe highway commis
sion and had charge of the work
through Ihe Cow Creek canyon. He
is now In tho contracting business
for himself and has been doing Borne
work for tho county during the pant
months.
The contracts allowed yesterday
