A bid on the completion of the new
court house here, apparently lower
than any or the others made public,
was not submitted thru error at the
county clerk's office yesterday with
the other three estimates.
This report, submitted by A. P.
Heide of San Francisco, takes a much
more optimistic view of the situation
than any of the others, declaring that
alter a tour-day examination, the
building Is round to be perfectly safe.
There Is a settlement In two cor
ners of the building, one corner show,
ing a crack which probably occurred
during the construction. That the
structure has remained in Its present
unfinished conditio for a period of
three years Is utmnlable evidence
thut It has withstood Its aevereat teat.
In spite or all, however, It la claimed
that the building Is now la tbe best
or condition, and ready to take up
construction left off so long ago.

mates, the first for completion accord.
