Jail Contract At an adjourned meeting of the board of county commis- sioners, July 6th, at which all members were present, the contract for the new jail was awarded to H.F. Griesy, the well-known local contractor. The contract for the heating and plumbing was let to A.C. Jasperson, of Baker, his bid being for 150 feet additional ra- diation in the court house. The Pauly Jail Building Co., St. Louis, Mo., were awarded the contract for the steel work, which includes the jail cells. Their bid, the only one received, was $4220. Griesy's bid for erecting and completing the jail, except plumbing and heating and steel work, was, for a two-story building, $5620; for a one-story building, $3841.20. There were numerous other bids, most of them consider- ably higher, all of which were rejected because they were not received at the time specified by the board. Jasperson's bid for the heating and plumbing, including 150 feet additional radiation in the court house was $3642 for one-story and $3904 for a two-story building. The St. Louis company will furnish four tool -proof cells, according to plans and specifications of Link & Haire. the architects, of Billings, and agree to have the same fully com- pleted on or before Sept. 15th. Two sets of plans were submitted to bidders, one for a one- story building and one for a two-story building. The com- missioners have concluded to erect a two-story building. Under the law they are limited to an expenditure of $10,000, or less, for a building of this character. Minneapolis minister will permanently locate here Rev. H.L.
