The bank has decided to let the work on segregated contracts, C. T. Kountie sald, because it was that more of the work could be let to Omaha contractors in that way than if one general contract was made.

Contracts for the remainder of the work are to be let shortly. l.ocal bidders are to be given preference, it i8 said at the hank.
