Awards Held Up. ‘The award of the contract for the locks of the Monongahela river is still in abey- ance. The question which has arisen in reference to one of the proposals ved has teen referred to the law department of the War Department for an opinion. The first bidder has been unable to furnish bond to complete his bid, and the question now is whether to accept the bid of the second firm. This was a discount bid. The award of the contract for work in Gray's harbor, Washington, is also held in abey- ence awaiting further proof that the low- est bidder can furnish stone of the required |* size and weight. ——_—_-o--____ It matters Httle what it is that you want scwhether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need, The Busy Corner, 8th and Market Space. |S.
