The contract ,was awarded to
A. W. Kutsfthe of: Portland, for
$18,049, this being the lowest
bid offered. Some bJ4dftrs,,were
considerably higfesr, ranging up
to $30.000. ' To Mr." Kutsche's
bid will.ihaye to be added five
per pent for the, .services of the
architects, Tourtelot & Hummel,
making rsthe total cost . pf the
building complete $20,089.00.
Mr. KuUche's first bid was for
$18,695, but after his bW had
been accepted, he claimed that
he did not intend to include the
plumbing, so a .compromise, was
effected. . '
It will--.be noted that his Is $o00

board, but was.so closeo its -figures,

not let the small increase in the
price interfere with its plans.
; The high school structure will
be one that Beaverton can -well
, feel , proud, a .building .that in
ordinary times would have cost
almost a third more. The build
