When the enormous amount of preparatory work was completed, contractors for the bridge work set out to complete the erection of the three steel spans by Nov- ember 15. Only some “finish- ing” work remained to be done ; early today. Riveting will begin very soon, the big steel beams now being in place by bolts. It was the intention to complete the erec- tion . of the bridge structure be- fore the winter closed, so as to make it safe from attacks of the ice and pressure of high water upon the structure. This has been accomplished. Members of the state highway, commission were pleased with the rapid construction of the home, which is at 1016 Sixth street, Mr. Hagan said: “They ‘were to build me a house for $5,000 with $600 of extras. I have received notice that the cost of the house is $8,889.98. I will not pay; it. I have made some payments and! the state has not had more than $5,-; i i { COOPERATION IN RETAILING 000 in it at any time. “Ido not know what will be done with the house.” i The cost ‘of the Hagan house, estab- lished following’ work by accountants! of the Home Builders’ Association for | several months, is nearly $2,000 high-| Advertising Clubs Educational) er than it was estimated late in the summer, after it had been completed | and Mr. Hagan was living in it. The, house is a small, story and half; structure. The $600 “extra” was in-} curred in the installation of a hot water heating plant. Late in the summer it was estimat-} ed that the house would cost about! $7.100. . The final figure is therefore; greatly in excess of that estimate. | It was estimated in August that the| cost of the houses built by the state} would be about 25 per cent in excess! of the verbal estimates given to the’ people for whom the houses were! built.
