BIG WELCOME STORE BUILDING Favored Contractors Enjoy Christmas All the Year Round at People’s Expense If Christmas came for the youth of the land as often and as regu jlarly as it seems to come for the contractors who make a spectalty of handling county bridge and road contracts, it would keep fond papas and mammas busy buying and sort ing out presents. | On March 17, of this year, Christ |man must have invaded the sacred precinets of the county commission |ere’ department at the court house. for on that day they awarded a jcontract to Thomas Alexander to }eonstruct 7,765 feet of earth work on the Rex Ross road, at @ cost of 5,360. On March 10 bids had been opened for this work by the com missioners. The low bid was from D. M. Liddell, | doing the work. On March 11, the very next day, the books in which the minutes of the board meetings are found, gives the statement, “Bid rejected and cheek fe ited” Six days later the commissioners, without & calling for other bids. awarded the contract to Thomas Alexander for § Gave Away Money.
